	Story Behind the Song The motivation is always to write a new innovative song. In this instance the lyrical inspiration came from the untimely death of a fellow artist and beyond genius songwriter by the name of Jeff Buckley. As a band we'd all been touched by Jeff's music and wanted to pay tribute to a true "dream brother." The song also has an underlying message about killing your idols and becoming your own hero instead of following in the guise of someone else's intentions. Lyrics Reverse the role revert control Back into THE MIND leaving death behind The nature of water the framework of stone He floats down the shoreline but he's not alone TAKE, take him away The gift of life waiting to unfold His song unsung the greatest story never told The hidden truth a sacred place An ancient magic a shrouded face This hour of dying this moment of faith We cling to our idols and then we throw them away TAKE, take him away The gift of life waiting to unfold His song unsung the greatest story never told My soul still bets the voice I can't forget Will soon return and keep me warm Confronting my own truth cause here and now I choose To live instead Deep inside a heavy sleep my dream brother came to me He said, "don't take your gift for granted; be your idol." The gift of life waiting to unfold His song unsung the greatest story never told He's coming home; we all know
