lyrics

A Key Guaranteed To Fit A Certain Lock

Once I dreamt
I had to choose
Between three
Different roads.

One road led to money
One road led to love
And one road led to free will.

I first took the road to money
And after I reached its end
I found I was back exactly
Where I had started.

I took the road to love
And after I reached its end
I found I was back exactly
Where I had started.

Finally, I took the road to free will
And after I reached its end
I again found I was back exactly
Where I had started.

I thought there were no more roads
To choose from
Until I turned around
And there was a fourth road.

This road didn’t lead to money,
Love, or free will.

Its entrance was black as night.

After I stepped across the threshold
I found I was in the middle of a
Field of golden flowers.

A beautiful woman
With black hair
And skin of alabaster

Smiled at me
And handed me
A key guaranteed to fit a certain lock.

The rays of the sun
Came upon us like a million butterflies
Destined to land on a stele made of chlorite.

And then I realized
I had dreamt all of this before,
The road, the field of golden flowers,
The woman with skin of alabaster, the key,
Even the million butterflies.

And I thought to myself
What makes me remember
Certain dreams and forget
Others.
