about

This is the last song Dean wrote before leaving Los Angeles.
It's a trip.
Listen carefully to the lyrics.
He recommends good speakers, a good sunset and maybe some pot to help the experience.

lyrics

It can be a cell, or it can be a throne room
It's all just as well, when Babylon's a bridegroom

And my Magdelena shudders, my lover may never recover
From the beauty and the horror
That burns like the Seraphim wonder
Or a man thrown into the sun

You think, "what the hell, throw in with the lowly"
That name rang a bell, time will take us slowly

And my Magdelena shudders, my lover may never recover
From the beauty and the horror
That burns like the Seraphim wonder
Or a man thrown into the sun

Watch the sun come up, child
You can see him shimmer
That faithful glimmer coming with the dawn
Nonesuch hoary wisdom
Can prevent this damage
Or seize full advantage
For whatever side you're on

And my Magdelena shudders, my lover may never recover
From the beauty and the horror
That burns like the Seraphim wonder
Or a man thrown into the sun
