A story of a peasant's struggle between accepting his masters' enslavement and initiating resistance. Who's the guest, God? Or his partner in a nascent resistance?

lyrics

Midnight and waiting for a guest
Maybe he came in from the west
We just heard silence through the trees

And the wind

This crowd could cover up their crime
Some left unswayed before their time
And found their ends
Covered in dust

In the wind

Through the mist of life times in the past
How can you live in the past
With all your dreams?

They built the castles from the stones
Bent backs and coffins for their bones
There’s really no time
To plant a seed
So they wait

Until
The hero’s lead
Into the world of eternal time

Please oh please

There’s two wishes inside of a mind
Kill one the other you can find
Bearable enough
A knock at the door

He’s here
I guess it’s time
