lyrics

Immortal's Lament
Music & Lyrics: Alexander James Adams

Me, gazing down at you,
Thinking hard,
on the things that we have both been through-
Minutes turn to years,
Flowing fast as tears

Looking through this flood,
Biting lip 'til I taste blood-
Must it always be
Those I love who die instead of being

Me, living on in spite,
Every day,
Even though it's always still a fight
Each and every breath,
Always cheating Death

I still feel pain,
It's enough to drive a man insane
Yet I still see,
All the things that should done by those like

Me, doing what I can,
Facing off,
All the things that hound the hearts of Man
Fighting for the Light
Doing what is right

Ever here,
Guarding those who I hold dear
Never free,
I am chained to time, and time is chained to

Me, spinning on and on
As I watch
Setting sun and rising light of dawn
Stars fall from the sky
Yet I still can't die

If you pierce my arm
It will not be lasting harm
If I drown at sea,
If you walk the shore, in time you will find

Me, standing by your side
With a smile
Knowing there is nowhere you can hide
I will still be here
Every turning year

I watch the world
As its fate slowly becomes unfurled
As rock and tree
Turn to dust until at last there is only

Me, breathing in the dark,
All alone
Knowing that the Gods have left their mark
Burning in my soul
I must play my role

Can my prayers be yet heard?
Can I turn the wind when once it's stirred?
Do I still hold the key
To protect the world from ending without

Me?

A silky, smooth, sultry voice weaving lyrical imagery upon a canvas of exquisite tonal contours. Immensely pleasurable. The bouncy cheer of " Little Bird" is a delightful contrast to the dusky jazz groove of this truly beautiful album. Much gratitude for you S J ! roddylloyd

I walked away from playing music ten years ago, disgusted with music and myself. SJ Tucker's songs have played no small part in bringing me back in a truly strange yet beautiful way. The blisters on my fingers and the gloom in my heart are nearly healed. I sat down my new acoustic guitar to write a comment about some heavy medicine and now I'm going to get back to my therapy. I can't thank you enough SJ! Keep up the good work! roddylloyd
