Thirty-Three
Yeah you’re working,
Building a mystery,
And choosing so carefully
Sarah McLachlan
Building a Mystery
In this spirit of mystery they professed to imitate the Deity, who hides Himself from our senses, and conceals from us the springs by which He moves the Universe.
They admitted that they concealed the highest truths under the veil of allegory, the more to excite the curiosity of men, and to urge them to investigation. 1

More than words
Is all you have to do to make it real
Extreme
More Than Words
The earth laughs beneath my heavy feet
Walking on a dream
How can I explain?
Empire of the Sun
Walking On a Dream
Speak to me in a language I can hear
humor me before I have to go
Deep in thought I forgive everyone
As the cluttered streets greet me once again
I know I can’t be late supper’s waiting on the table
Tomorrow’s just an excuse away
So I pull my collar up and face the cold, on my own
The earth laughs beneath my heavy feet
At the blasphemy in my old jangly walk
Steeple guide me to my heart and home
The sun is out and up and down again
I know I’ll make it, love can last forever
Graceful swans of never topple to the earth
And you can make it last, forever you
You can make it last, forever you
And for a moment I lose myself
Wrapped up in the pleasures of the world
I’ve journeyed here and there and back again
But in the same old haunts I still find my friends
Mysteries not ready to reveal
Sympathies I’m ready to return
I’ll make the effort, love can last forever
Graceful swans of never topple to the earth
Tomorrow’s just an excuse
And you can make it last, forever you
You can make it last, forever you
It gets old when you talk to the sun
In a tongue understood by no one
Young The Giant
Something to Believe In
Take me to the place where you go
Where nobody knows if it’s night or day
Oasis
Don’t Look Back in Anger
There is a road, no simple highway
Between the dawn
and the dark of night
And if you go, no one may follow
That path is for your steps alone
Grateful Dead
Ripple
So I pull my collar up and face the cold
On my own
Walking on a dream
How can I explain?
Talking to myself?
Will I see again?
Empire of the Sun
Walking On a Dream
I’m talking here, to me alone
I listen to the finest worksong
R.E.M.
Finest Worksong
I’m on a river that winds on forever
Follow ’til I get where I’m goin’
Maybe I’m headin’ to die but I’m still gonna try
I guess I’m goin’ alone
Lord Huron
Ends of the Earth
I might point to the fact that, although the meetings of our society are of necessity enshrouded with the veil of secresy, which circumstance, in seasons of excitement and peril, the designing and malicious would have converted into matter of accusation or suspicion, yet the highest authorities have ever patronised our assemblies; and in no case” has their confidence been misplaced—there existing no recorded instance of a disloyal Freemason. I might produce a long catalogue of the benefits which individuals have derived, in periods of danger and distress, from having been made acquainted with this universal language, having become links in this vast chain extending round the whole globe. 2

Thiry-Three (Sadlands Demo)
The secrecy in which they buried their Mysteries, had that end. Those to whom they were confided, bound themselves, by the most fearful oaths, never to reveal them. They were not allowed even to speak of these important secrets with any others than the initiated… 3

People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never shared
No one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
