about
This is the first offering from Mjölnir, an 8 song album by Rolodex of Gods set for release later this year.
Song description..
In short.... it's written about The Griffin being a 'guardian of the soul' figure.
The 'kings gold' being guarded and protected... and the 'kings gold' being one's own spark, life force and energy. The Griffin is an inner protector of that, from the draining, depleting forces of others.
To have The Griffin's 'eyes' is to 'see' when a person is looking to cost my precious energies, The Griffin notifies me and protects me from such.
lyrics
A row of anvils hang in the sky, hanging poised, ready to fall,
-he sees these things, he heeds them all...
A silver toe, a griffin’s wing, a golden glow -protect these things,
the griffin waits and the griffin rises, and he sees inside of you,
He sees into your soul.
You make me pay what I do not owe, but your plan and your schemes the griffin knows..
reads your every move, he sees you so well,
stolen precious stones from beneath my toes, but each thought of stealing, the griffin knows,
-he protects the kings gold, and he sees inside of you,
he sees into your soul.
The griffin waits and the griffin rises,
he can never steal,
for he is the king of the birds and lord of the air,
combined with the king of the beasts, lord of the Earth,
-symbol of the sun, of wisdom, of vengeance, symbol of strength and salvation...
You take my house, my garden, my home, -but he's watching you,
-he's in your theatre now, stolen the ground from beneath my feet,
-but he reads you so well....
take my poetry from my page, but you can't take the things that makes it glow.....he reads you so well,
he sees inside of you,
he sees into your soul.
He is guardian of my soul,
he can never steal my gold,
he is guardian of my soul.
The griffin waits and the griffin rises,
he can never still my gold.
