As the River Runs
Melodic birth to death chronicle with some pretty lead guitar work. I recorded this in 2009, when I was very sick and not sure whether I'd live or die or ever sing again. Lyrics below.

This is Atlantis
James Bondish-type music, with lyrics pondering our modern world as the actual meaning of Atlantis. Homeric / Platonic prophecy rather than history or myth?
