Depeche Mode-Inspired Indie Track | Lost and Found by Open | Free Download
This is the complete trilogy. If you ever lost someone or something that was very close to you, but later was found, this song is for you...
Ancient stories, filled with mystery and truth delivered with a vision to set the listener free to rethink.
Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it.
C. S. Lewis

Lyrics
Lost and Found
By Steve Kim 2008
Intro narration:
A certain man had 2 sons.
And the younger boy, he said to his daddy, "Pa, give me all that is mine, I want all my inheritance.
I'm so sick and tired of living here with you and with my brother. I'm bored out my skull, I can't take it."
So the father, saddened of course to hear his boy talk like that, well he gave to his son all that was his.
So the boy packed up all his things, he took all his inheritance and all he had and he set on out to go as far away as he could from his daddy, from everyone in search of his dreams...
Welcome to my world
I won't bring you down
I will raise the moon if you want to
relegate your mind
and free your soul
and soon the darkness will find you
narration: And he lived there like a wild man.
I tell you there was nothing this boy could say no to...
Fall deep in my eyes
I will spell you bound
I will mesmerize the doubter
I'll resolve your fears
Admire yourself
It's your soul I want
Chorus: I'm talkin' to you!
You appear as a child.
I'm talkin' to you!
I see you're in denial.
I'm talkin' to you!
I'll see you in the funny papers, funny papers.
Magic mystery tour
where nothing is real
and nothing to get hung about.
I'll make you a deal
You should refuse
you're a rebel without a clue.
narration: At first, it seemed like a dream come true.
He had everything...fame, fortune, friends.
No worries my friend
I'll sing you this song
the band will play all night long
Come dance by the flames
embrace the fire
of seduction's glow...
Chorus: I'mtalkin' to you!
You appear as a child
I'm talkin' to you!
I see you're in denial
I'm walking with you!
I'm taking you to my place, a cool place
I'm walking with you!
I'm taking you to my space, a secret place
I'm walking with you!
I'm taking you about-face, a disgrace
The joke's on you!
I'll see you in the funny papers, funny papers, funny papers, funny papers.
But the boy squandered all he had. Then a great famine arose and being broke he became one with
a citizen there and winds up doing the very thing he hates most, sloppin’ the hogs.
(the lounge scene)
There was a time I had a reason for every rhyme
a method of madness that now is called life
"You better wake up!"as fear takes control
It's conviction that warms a cold soul...
You're my God
I've broken your heart
I left my first love
I cry out to you
You're my God
I've broken your heart I've broken your heart...
As I left my first love
I call out to you
I've broken your heart
As the world wipes dirty hands...
My heart bows down
my eyes look up
my lips can't speak your name out loud.
I hear your voice
I see your face
The distance removed as you draw near me
I'm in your eye
I know you're there
but I can't seem to crawl from here
You're all I want
forgive my sin
as I come home...
You're my God You're my God
I've broken your heart I've broken your heart
As I left my first love As the world wipes dirty hands
I call out to you Upon my soul...
You're my God You're my God
(the journey home)
Be my strength
in the cold
as blood overcomes
a stronghold…
trees
point the way
