"And then there was life. And there he stood. Our nameless traveler, ready to embark on his journey. We do not know much at this point, perhaps we will find out more along the way. Or perhaps, not. The air was thick with the stillness of an early start. What lay ahead? The world looked beautiful to him. Opportunity, excitement, and then, love. And so he set off on his journey, ready for this world."
lyrics
In the valley folds
In the darkness grows
The shaman lives untouched
Watching over us
In the shadowed cold
The ghosts were made untold
(Be)cause you know I'm going there
And you know I wouldn't stay
Out there lies a storm ahead
You my love, I won't let it near
(Be)cause you know I'm going there
(For) You love, I wouldn't stay
Out there's a reason for our lives and I won't let it get away
Every now and then I close my eyes
Try and look into the dragon's lies
I looked away— I've fallen
The way I'm cornered,
My love I'm bleeding from the lines
Alone— my love,
I'm waiting for you
Untold— my love,
I'll find my home
(The way)
(Be)cause you know I'm going there
And you know I wouldn't stay
Out there lies a storm ahead
You my love, I won't let it near
(Be)cause you know I'm going there
(For) You love, I wouldn't stay
Out there's a reason for our lives and I won't let it get away
I'm going there
And you know I wouldn't stay
Out there lies a storm ahead
You my love, I won't let it near
(Be)cause you know I'm going there
(For) You love, I wouldn't stay
Out there's a reason to our lives and I won't let it get away
(Let it get away)
(I know you will— I know I will— I know we will— I know you will)
I know you are the one
I know you will become
I know you are the sun
My baby please become
Your shadow casts upon
The world will not become
Oh god my
Baby I
Love you I
Know you are
The one my
Love will you
Become I
Will not see
The sun my
Love
My love— and I love you

My name is Aman, I've lived in a few places around the world and have my own little idea of the music I want to make and what I want to say with it; heavy meets rootsy and atmospheric.

Prana Crafter’s “Bodhi Cheetah’s Choice” is an album of mystic, drifting guitar work alternately haunting and searing. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 8, 2018
