    Story Behind the Song
    Achieving one's ideal self is a furious battle we all go through - at least some of us. There are two characters in the song, and we're told their stories (something I often do when I write). This is my way of distancing myself from my own struggles and still coming to realize them, by focusing on someone else's. Hope that makes sense...

    Lyrics
    A man of middle age steps out into the world
    he's got everything in hand
    His dreams have all been tended to through a power greater than his own
    up 'til now all things have gone as planned
    He struggles with temptations
    he's got so far to go
    The hopeless sins of mortals never fade

    You capture grace on darkest sides
    to the stars you lift your eyes
    in your majesty
    Breaking down the hardest walls
    leaving nowhere left to fall
    Saved by majesty

    A woman troubled, burdened by her life
    she feels alone
    impressions have gone sour all these years
    She didn't see the twist of fate
    behind soft-spoken tones
    She's lost all face and tasted all the tears
    She's living with frustration
    on her deepest level now
    Needs to be freed from shadows
    and dark shades

    Devine, mystifying power to work
    the whole thing out
    When things get troubled and upset
    maybe we'll be saved from the charades
    that so many delight in shoving in our faces
    sarcastic stretches of shrill,
    distorted truths
    rise from all the dark, pretentious places
    all these lofty ideals
    are less of a thrill and more aloof
    A king should watch himself
    in his wizardry and greed
    for the walk through the eye of the needle
    never looked so gruff
    To betray the most important faith
    is so easy this day and age
    We climb to the top but don't realize
    the fall back down can be so rough

    Caught up in the epitome
    of the blackest blasphemy,
    with no hope to see
    Fallen on deserted shores,
    but deep within the heart it pours
    blessed majesty

    You capture grace on darkest sides
    to the stars you lift your eyes
    in your majesty
    breaking down the hardest walls
    leaving nowhere left to fall
    Saved by majesty
