Halcyon Days : Ecce Homo

Napiers Bones
Narrator:

A different Jan Tregeagle made his way back from the moor
New belief his guiding star shone brighter than before
His way ahead in life was clear, behold the Man Unbound
With a place to stand and move the world, Momentum lost was found

Others talk of darker powers, of spirit guides and dreams
The Devil entered into him and bought his soul it seems

Jan:

A man amounts to more than a list of do's and don't's
Paralysed with fear at the thought of doing wrong
Man is free to choose, free to not conform
Self aware maturity, rejection of the norm

Clergy:

So disturbed are we by violent speech and slandering
Brother Jan a righteous fellow in the eyes of God
Be rid of bitterness, be rid of rage and angry talk
Judge ye not, lest ye be judged

So end the slights and slurs on Brother Jan Tregeagle now
A generous man ever keen to help the true one's church
Be quick to listen, slow to anger and slow to speak
Rest assured, blessed are the meek

Be not concerned with counting treasures here on Earth
Amass instead your wealth in Heaven, your future's there
The poor and needy have been chosen, they are the ones
Inheriting the Kingdom, all those who live by love

Jan:

All pleasures can be bought, exceptions are so few
Objections brushed aside, it all comes down to price
Nothing was true, and everything's allowed
When the spirit enters into you, Commandments lose their power

All my life I was guided by my Visions and Dreams
Then an Angel came to earth and spoke to me

He told me I was made for greater things,
I had a greater purpose in life
Renounce their rules and embrace all I could be

The glory that you see today is no more than destiny
Behold the Man, and all that he can be
Tregeagle's Choice, mark well my legacy
