about

‘Pharos’ tells the story of a man who sets out for a long journey, then settles down to build a home. It is a parable about a lifelong search for moral clarity. We must constantly question our convictions in order to strengthen them; they are our sword and shield. Our values are our tower, the beacon in the night, but also a thorn in the flesh of those who oppose us.

lyrics

PHAROS

Down many roads of mire, dirt, and dust
Years stilling wanderlust
Schooled by gambles, losses and dead ends
Lessons taught by snake oil salesmen

A wise man told him, don´t follow old paths
Challenge certainties
Strengthen your convictions, my son, they´ll be sword and shield
But It’s a lifelong quest to forge the adamant steel

Build a fortress once you are back home
Lay a foundation, let it grow
It will lift you up to a higher ground
Make you king without crown

Architect, foreman, worker, hand
Build to take a stand
Brick by brick, stone by stone, they build your castle home
With sunburned skin, sore back, and broken bones

The first wall folded to wind and storm
A tremor let the second one crumble to the ground
The third one vanity and pride put down
Slowly, it takes shape, at the horizon a spike
An arm reaching for the sky

With a sleight of hand they try to flip the truth
What is wrong? what is right?
We break to mend, attack to defend
We live and let die

The fire beacon in the night
Cuts through doubts like a knife
The needle dead sure guides the thread which holds it all together
A stinger that draws blood, the thorn in thy flesh
