about

The lyric for this track was initially written to be the title track for Iron Man's follow-up to South of the Earth.

lyrics

Golden threads spilling down—gateway to the next adventure
Sunlight on my hands—grabs ahold and whisks away
Dawn before my eyes beckons me to feast and come
I taste the food of the gods at the Altar of Venus

Golden threads touch the ground—engorged with life’s promises
Sunlight scattered now as pawns and clouds march ‘cross the sky
Twilight dims my eyes—the feast intoxicates the flame
I sense the truth that lies ‘neath the Altar of Venus

Golden threads turning brown—devastated broken dreams
Desperate night arrives—grabs ahold to pull me down
The black around its eyes—the feast alive—must get away
Refute the food of the gods—escape from the Altar of Venus
