lyrics

THE GREAT DIVIDE

Here in the shadows of a self-made reality, the product of all I have known
Built from assurance that the life out in front of me was all that my mind's eye was shown

Here, now, we never thought to figure in the how
Gaze, smile, this moment will be gone in just a while, just a while

Reaching for promise while lost in the innocence of youthful dreams so far, so neatly placed
No thought of the notion that a hat tip to common sense might help ease the future that I faced

Youth, haste, too much to do to let time go to waste
Friends lost, in moving on I didn't count the cost

Time is not the enemy, does not provide the wait and see
We all must face the truth to heal our wounds
The great divide will only grow if left unchecked the seeds we sew
Will bind us

Left to my thoughts and consumed by the arrogance of a life well lived, the product of my goals
Behind me the paths that might have been my inheritance, untrod, my unfulfilling roles

Truth, lies, the compass I create I will despise
Give, take, the moment won't exist for its own sake

Time is not the enemy, does not provide the wait and see
We all must face the truth to heal our wounds
The great divide will only grow if left unchecked the seeds we sew
Will bind us

A message from a long-lost friend arrived yesterday
In it, I heard faint echoes from my past
The great divide with no amend had led us astray
If only time could make that friendship last

But, time is not the enemy, does not provide the wait and see
We all must face the truth to heal our wounds
The great divide will only grow if left unchecked the seeds we sew
Will yield the vines that grow, surround, and bind us

about

Ascher Fort Walton Beach, Florida

Ascher is a progressive rock band born from a collaboration between a couple friends. As ideas were hashed out and developed, the need for an additional musician was soon realized. As the project gathered steam, the collaborants (it's a word, look it up) decided that the world did indeed need another progressive rock band. A singer was recruited and the result is Ascher! ... more
