Liner Notes
I AM THE FOOD OF LOVE. I AM IN THE HEARTS OF ALL MEN, AND ON THEIR TONGUES, IN ALL LANDS, AND AMONG ALL PEOPLES. FOR I SPEAK TO ALL MEN IN A LANGUAGE THAT ALL UNDERSTAND. THROUGH ME SPIRITS IMMORTAL SPEAK THE MESSAGE THAT MAKES THE WORLD WEEP, AND LAUGH, AND WONDER, AND WORSHIP. I COMFORT THE LONELY AND HARMONIZE THE DISCORD OF CROWDS. I TELL THE STORY OF LOVE, THE STORY OF HATE, THE STORY THAT SAVES, AND THE STORY THAT DAMNS. I AM THE SMOKE WHICH FALLS OVER THE FIELD OF BATTLE WHERE MEN LIE DYING WITH ME ON THEIR LIPS. I CALL THE WANDERER HOME, I RESCUE THE SOUL FROM THE DEPTHS, I OPEN THE LIPS OF LOVERS, AND THROUGH ME THE DEAD WHISPER TO THE LIVING. ONE I SERVE AS I SERVE
ALL; AND THE KING I MAKE MY SLAVE. I AM THE INCENSE UPON WHICH PRAYERS FLOAT TO HEAVEN. I SPEAK THROUGH THE BIRDS OF THE AIR, THE INSECTS OF THE FIELD, THE CRASH OF CRYSTAL WATER AGAINST THE ROCKY SHORES, AND THE SIGHING OF THE WIND IN THE TREES. I HAVE PLAYED A GREAT PART IN THE DRAMA OF LIFE, WHOSE END AND PURPOSE IS THE COMPLETE PERFECTION OF MAN’S NATURE. FOR I AM MUSIC...THE INSTRUMENT OF GOD.
