Knowledge comes with age...and Pete being the oldest in the band was dubbed "the old man". Naturally we thought he was pretty smart and had alot of wisdom...so we wrote this song about him. Well, not really, but we still call him the "old man".

lyrics

I GAZE UPON A GLEAMING LIGHT
IT HIT MY SKIN AND I MELTED AWAY
MY BODY SEEMED TO DISSOLVE IN THE FLAME
I SEEK FOR KNOWLEDGE FROM A MAN IN A TREE
I MUST FIND WISDOM FOR THE KNOWLEDGE IS GAINED
SEARCH AND YOU SHALL FIND YOUR WAY
FOLLOW THE CHARIOT IN FLIGHT
NO ONE ELSE CAN GUIDE YOU THERE
FOR YOU SEEK THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE LIGHT
TAKE ME TO THE OLDER MAN
FOR HE KNOWS A HIDDEN PLACE
CASTLES OF TRUTH AND BRAVERY
A DARK GLARE UPON HIS FACE
FOR PLEASURE IS WHAT YOU ALWAYS SEEK
YET YOU NEVER SEEM TO FIND
AS HARSH AS DEATH, THEIR LESSON LEARNED
WHEN YOU SEEK THE OLD MAN FOR KNOWLEDGE

FOR CENTURIES I HAVE AWAITED FOR THIS DAY
AND NOW I HAVE AWAKENED FROM MY DREAMS AGAIN
I SHALL SEEK THE TRUTH AND KNOWLEDGE
FROM THE OLD MAN
THE WISDOM OF MY YEARS, AND KNOWLEDGE
TO BE GAINED AGAIN

SEEK THE OLD MAN...FOR KNOWLEDGE
SEEK THE OLD MAN...FOR KNOWLEDGE
SEEK THE MAD MAN, MAD MAN, MAD MAN
SEEK THE MAD MAN, MAD MAN, MAD MAN

SEARCHING FOR TRUTH AND BRAVERY
THE OLD MAN WILL GUIDE YOU THERE

YOU SEARCH FOR HIM AND YOU'LL SEE
THE KNOWLEDGE GAINED FROM THEE
THE TRUTH FROM THE BURNING SUN
CALL HIS NAME AND HE SHALL COME
THIS KINGDOM THE OLD MAN HAS ROAMED
THAT GIVE YOU GIFTS FROM THE THRONE
KNOWLEDGE LOST YOU DARE TO SEE
THE POWER THAT GIVES YOU STRENGTH

SEARCH AND YOU SHALL FIND OUR WAY
FOLLOW THE CHARIOT IN FLIGHT
NO ONE ELSE CAN GUIDE YOU THERE
SEEK KNOWLEDGE FROM THE LIGHT
TAKE ME TO THE OLDER MAN
FOR HE KNOWS OF A HIDDEN PLACE
CASTLES OF TRUTH AND BRAVERY
A DARK GLARE UPON HIS FACE

FOR CENTURIES I HAVE WAITED FOR THIS DAY
AND NOW I HAVE AWAKENED FROM MY DREAMS AGAIN
I SHALL SEEK FOR TRUTH AND KNOWLEDGE
FROM THE OLD MAN
THE WISDEOM OF MY YEARS, AND KOWLEDGE
TO BE GAINED AGAIN

SEEK THE OLD MAN...FOR KNOWLEDGE
SEEK THE OLD MAN...FOR KNOWLEDGE
SEEK THE MAD MAN, MAD MAN, MAD MAN
SEEK THE MAD MAN, MAD MAN, MAD MAN

My favorite material from Solstice! Despite their amazing discography that lay before this that completely set the foundation, this in my opinion is where it all comes to a mighty peak. What an amazing emotional and powerful picture painted in such a short amount of time. Talon Sullivan
