about

Inspired by the "Flux and Anchor" universe by Jack Chalker

lyrics

I am a stringer who rides in flux.
I haul my cargo with dugger trucks.
Through the murky nothingness I follow hidden strands
From apron into Anchor, from flux into Fluxlands
Through perils from a power that I cannot avoid
Where wizards thrive and wizards wait and wizards are destroyed
By all of the Guild together.
By all of the Guild together.

I am a seeker of knowledge lost.
I am a victim of wisdom's cost.
For the wonders that we do are nothing set beside
The wonders of our fathers who brought us here to hide
From perils of a universe that they could not avoid,
And here we thrive and here we wait and here we'll be destroyed
With all of World together.
With all of World together.

I am a dreamer of distant shores.
I stand and ponder unopened doors,
And I see the age begin when we will have the key
And we will be exactly what our fathers meant to be --
The masters of the perils that we cannot avoid,
And we will thrive and we will fly and share a different void
With all of the stars together.
With all of the stars together.
With all of the stars together.
With all of the stars together.

I am a stringer who rides in flux.
I am a stringer who rides in flux.
I am a stringer who rides in flux.
