INTERLOPER (4:45)
written by Steve Leidal, Bryce Lewis and Blake J Berglund (SOCAN/ASCAP)

lyrics

In waves static hums, vision bends beyond the rocks
An interweaving rider comes on a passing comet's tail
With a palomino spirit steed he finds himself in desperate need
Of riding through the desolate
Space between the stars
He's get to stop and wait for time to take him
Back to worlds whence he came

Man upon a horse named Dream
Very few cross these planes
And discover what they seek
As the timelines bleed
One must awaken to recognize it isn't as it seems

Well, cosmic cycles come around as history repeats itself
He's bounced between a bigger band and far beyond the brink
Through glitches gets to parallels of different versions of himself
Challenge tricks and ancient trades
Of travel, it's the golden age
A time, two times and half a time
He saved him from a den of lions

Just point his nose towards the west
With a whistle and a kick they'll catch the second setting sun
In a glimpse of golden mane [gold lamé]
Only to return again, and again, and again, and again

Stillness in the evening air allows for open passages
The contours of a mounted mare wander in and out

One must awaken to see themselves existing
As an intricate extension to a greater loving presence
Where intension honours no mistake
The synchronistic coming days
Of signs on signs confirm belief
That one must ask, one then shall receive

Gardens hang in Babylon
The reigning king constructs the works
Soon to quickly call upon the one who reads the dreams
Ten times better than the wise
Welcomed all within the court
Explain my worries of the night or death be what I deem
A body built on feet of clay
Mixed with iron to the legs
Thighs of bronze, silver arms and breasts to head of gold
Statue crushed by a rock
That grew into a mountain range
Filling up the entire earth, oh, tell me what's this mean
Of the kingdoms yet to be
Three to follow yours My Highness
Shall fall to supremacy of my loving God's
Oh my king the tree is you
Commanded by the heavenly
To fall by being cut in two, acknowledge Heaven rules
Visions of the beasts at sea
Visions of the ram and goat
Visions of the seventy weeks, kings of north and south
Multitudes who sleep in dust
Of the earth will awake
Some to everlasting life and the rest to shame

Blake Berglund regina, Saskatchewan

The timing of the coronavirus pandemic aligned with the ending of an album cycle and Blake Berglund accepted it was more interesting to disappear.

Berglund emerges in a new environment as a truther with a job to do. His songwriting is influenced by a rapidly changing society and the glaring difficulties of the human condition. A thoughtful twang packaged with a fearless and satirical wit. ... more
