Текст песни Cracked Vessel — The Gypsy Removes His Bandage/In Search of the Lost Path

Our penchant
for nostalgia
Seeps into
the psychic cracks
It poisons
our present
The mind detaches
from the Now
Only to float
into the rose-scented fog
of the past
Pull back the gauze
To reveal the scars
of yesterday
The beacon light of misery
Shone through the mist

Romantic exaltation crumbles

And the ruined estate comes into view
Gaze through the pinpricks of light

On the endless black canvas

And the mind’s eye meets the blaze of ruination
Light created by the burning memories
Of days gone by
The peripheral fire may lead us off the perceived dark path

Shed the past poisons (The search continues)
The search is not yet over
First crawl, then walk
Now ride to the glorious future
