Mansion

Mansion is a song that I wrote for the Threshold album

'Extinct Instinct',

not used in the end; it was replaced with 'Clear'.

Written about a very rich man I knew, whose front was

all pretence.

so you're the man in the mansion

on the hill like the fool you have built

but they say you're of wisdom

with your words you're careful what you spill

and you open wide all your doors at night

and let the people through

and you tell them of an eventful life

and every word is every word is right

but very rarely true

in our minds there are mansions

just like yours that won't mean that much to you

we all see the answers

but like you they will never be fulfilled

in the past you'll find you had once denied

the very things you do

and you cannot see that throughout your life

everything was everything was right

but very rarely true

so you open wide all your doors at night

and let the moonlight through

and you contemplate on a varied life

and every thought is every thought is right

but very rarely true

every word is right but very rarely true
