    Bacchus Curse CD- Dustin did all the artwork on it, and there's some really cool bits, like the album cover on the CD has a metallic sheen, and when you lift it up it's all blurry underneath except for the mask of Dionysis!

lyrics

I am a prisoner in pain
My arms and legs and neck are chained
All my life I've looked at shadows

But I feel there must be more
My intuition is the door
Behind the wall, I'll see beyond

There
I'll see
What life
Can truly be

-Chorus-
All the world we know is light and shadow
A cave of shifting images and sounds
Is there truth beyond the boundaries of perception
Past the dance of shadows underground

I worked for years to free my hands
And finally broke the iron bands
That held my body to the cave wall

I saw the fire that deceived
And saw the forms that I believed
To be the truth, but still there has to be more

Where
I'll see
What life
Can truly be

-Chorus-

I have stared into the depths of the sky
Looking up from here on earth
Even here the clouds cast shadows in my eyes
And all around
I haven't found

Where is the one truth?
I know that I could find
Clarity, purity
Perfect, the truth beyond the darkness?

-Chorus-
