The first single from Toss Your Javelin, "Kings, Gods, Fools" dives into Man as the Man dives into a clear, deep pond in a clearing in the forest to retrieve what some say cannot exist.
In the cool by the glass pool Where you shed your clothes On the stony shore there Where the green moss grows That's where you dreamt and chose
And you dove down for a secret It took a couple tries And when you resurfaced Even despite the light You were dissatisfied
You were utilizing tools Are we kings or gods or fools?
Still I watched you watch me watching you As you drank so resolute Down to the dregs and truth How the magic worked so fast Heavy heart and pleasant mask
We walked for miles with your ashes In an urn and a strongbox tight And a list of your demands Up to the House of Light Where all would be made right
And with a flick of his deft wrist He let the pictures go And they floated upward To where the warm storm blows Through the kaleidoscope
So you planned and saved and stored Was your body slave or lord?
Still I watched you watch me watching you As you built so resolute Your picture paper loot How the magic worked so fast Now you know you can't go back
You found your future in the water Unknown to your son and your daughters You were utilizing tools
