This song is a musical nod to my old band Wyscan. Lyrically it deals with a quest for understanding - you know, everything. God.

Story behind the song
I am always finding myself trying to explain my ever-evolving religious beliefs, Especially since I have moved to Nashville. Sometimes I get sick of talking about it, so I end up writing songs to help define what I believe and what I want others to understand about me. Joseph Cambell once said something like this: "If you have a preconceived notion of what you should expect in a spritual experience, you may have an opportunity for one and miss it while looking the other way." I belive that. I think of myself as a recovering Christian. This song is about conquering fear, putting away the dogma and using your brain.
Lyrics
The Light Of Reason c 2005 Dean Madonia Waiting and watching for signs I found myself living between the lines Confused by caprice that I saw And interpretations of the law Once on the other side of the door I knew I would not be afraid anymore At first I fell Then I began to soar Moving away from the fold I found my way out in the icy cold A light in the land of the lost I warmed myself moving against the frost I kept a fire burning inside Kicking through the ashes of those who had died Chilled by the truth, frozen by those who lied Sinking in an ocean Beneath the ice and snow I struggled against the darkness That was waiting down below By the light of reason Once on the other side of the door I knew I would not be afraid anymore At first I fell Then I began to soar Sinking in an ocean Beneath the ice and snow I struggled against the darkness That was waiting down below By the light of reason Much brighter than the sun I'll keep these shadows dancing Until this day Until this day is done I'm always searching for peace But I'm happy to settle for some release I'm happy to settle for some release I'm happy to settle for some release
