"Fool"
written by Roger Parker

He didn't think he had it - the skill
To make it out on his own.
"Things will be how
They are meant to be,"
She said, curiously.

It didn't take a fool to realize,
The Jester's no longer entertaining.

He didn't think he had the skills
To leave a legacy behind,
Flicking his cigarette to the floor
He flashed back to her:
"You're a seductress,"
He said,
"Girl, you are bewitching."
Her resounding sigh,
"I've played this longer than you."

It didn't take a fool to realize,
The Jester's no longer entertaining.
Retiring at the King's recommendation,
Those bells no longer sound.

"Lilith"
written by Roger Parker

The sea had rocked me to sleep before you came
"Return and all shall be right"
Listening and debating the proposition carefully

 He from soil and I from fire
From the earth we two, made to lie equal 

The water has been my warmth
In these many weeks isolated
I washed away these sins bequeathed to me
In the salt that flowed from his tears

 "Leave me be"
And with that you recoiled to your God

 You think I'm a slut
The origin of your sin
But I'm not the origin of your sin
She comes with the second attempt

 With your absence
I could not keep their babies alive
This troubling serpent
I will survive
I can survive

"Evelyn"
written by Roger Parker

Evelyn
You traveled alone all those years
After he passed
You packed the house up
Leaving behind your happiness
Before you fled
You visited with a rose
By the sea, you said goodbye

Evelyn
Looking back you bottled your joy
An aborted child
Joy became
Quickly forgotten
But reflected
Occasionally regretted
You visited the woods often
Sitting on the same stump
You allowed the nymphs to visit daily
They spoke in their broken tongue
The culture, it leathered your skin
