Story Behind the Song
One of the songs that I have been working on since the days when Medusa broke up was a long and epic piece of music called "The Tarot Meditations" based on writings in "The Book of Tokens" by Paul Foster Case. It will eventually have 22 songs making up the entire piece. I have currently written the first 10 songs and I'm working on the last 12. Three of these were recorded by Phreeworld on their most recent CD "Crossing the Sound". They were No. III - The Empress, No. VII - The Chariot and No. IX - The Hermit. The running time for the first 10 songs is about 60+ minutes. One of the pieces, No. XI - The Lovers has been orchestrated for a 100 piece symphony orchestra.

The Empress No. III from "The Tarot Meditations"
Copyright 1998 by Phreeworld Lyrics by Brian Phraner
Mother, Father,
Understanding three.
Brother, Sister,
Understanding me.
The knowledge that comes from being Me.
The plan of existence
spinning
known to you, through Me.
I am the door to bring forth the worlds of form.
aha, ha, aha - aha, ha, aha.
The balance of thought,
The giver of Life,
I am the door, so bring forth the world.
Mother, Father,
Understanding three.
Brother, Sister,
Understanding me.
The knowledge that comes from being Me.
