Ride through the valley in thunder and rain
The battle is raging, redeem this domain
The Castle of Eden lies silent above
Darkness surrounded us, away we must go

I look through the eyes of the world
I see there's a Stranger among us.
Awaiting a sign from above
To conquer the power and the glory

Enter the battle, our will to enchain
Bringing us forward, defeating the pain
Into the meeting with swords made of steel
We're standing together the secret reveals
I look through the eyes of the world

I know who's the Stranger among us
Awaiting a sign from above
To conquer the power and glory
Come across to the Promised Land
Close your eyes, I will take your hand
Through the river of steel we'll go
When the dragon lies bleeding

Above the glory we'll carry on
Now the time has come to return back home
The setting sun illuminates the dead
The battlefield field is shining red.

Silent lies Eden on top of the moor
We're fighting with honor protecting our Lord
The last one survivor lies bleeding. I kneel
Into his heart I settle the steel

I look through the eyes of the world
I see there's a Stranger among us.
Awaiting a sign from above
To conquer the power and the glory

Come across to the Promised Land
Close your eyes, I will take your hand
Through the river of steel we'll go
When the dragon lies bleeding

Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.

Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
