about

THIS SONG IS NOT COMEDY... (Forgive the redundancy of this notice, but I feet it is important, because the overwhelming majority of my material is comedy, to "warn" people that this is "serious" music.)

I think the metaphor of a carousel and moving shadows works well with the idea that gods live in cycles and incarnations. Technically, the carousel could be full and only have one occupant, though that isn't the case in the novel.

lyrics

Riding on this carousel
Watching as the world spins slowly past
Riding on this carousel of gods.

Trying just to see myself
Drawing lines between the future and the past
Riding on this carousel alone

And if I reach Valhalla, I pray
That I will find the end of, the end of these days

Riding on this carousel
Keeping time as blood drips through my hands
Riding on this carousel of gods

Riding on this carousel
Watching shadows changing shape as worlds go past
Riding on this carousel alone

I feel the beat of your heart in my veins
Misleading me towards the tree from which I'll hang...

Riding on this carousel
Watching as the world slips slowly past
Riding on this carousel of gods.

Riding on this carousel
Feel each of the creatures as they laugh
Riding on this carousel alone.
