Sadness Abound, While We Run From The Beast: Lyrics and Music Written and Composed by Donald Morin
We are all running from the beast."
Join Donald Morin in this powerful reimagining of a soulful prayer for the modern age. Originally a folk-inspired witness to personal and global struggle, this new version explodes into a heavy metal anthem layered with a full symphonic orchestra.
This track explores the systemic weight of the world—the "Beast"—and our collective journey away from "The System" toward spiritual reclamation. Featuring visuals from the upcoming film project, the video follows "Frenchie" through a landscape of tracking, escape, and ultimate connection with the Great Creator.
From the concrete of the city and the "digital schemes" of the GPS to the open water and the sacred land, this is music as medicine for the youth and an anthem for the "Voice in the Wilderness."
Video Scenes & Symbolism:
The Tracking System: The video opens with aerial cityscapes and raw GPS data, symbolizing the "Beast" of modernity that monitors our every move.
The Escape: We follow Frenchie (the "Old Human Soul") as he moves from the system toward the freedom of the ocean and the open road.
The Beast: A snake on a concrete path serves as a visual metaphor for the lingering presence of darkness that follows us even on the path to healing.
The New Day: The imagery of the sun reflecting in sunglasses and the vast horizons represents the "New Page" promised in the lyrics.
Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
A new page and a new day
I need to find a way to help us all
To help the Creator save
The souls so lost, so lost, so lost today
Today... today...
(Verse 2)
The wars abound and the spirit’s bound
Oh Lord, give us peace
As we run away from the beast
As we must help the least of us all
(Chorus)
This new day, this new day
Our breath, Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done every given day
While you give each day, Great Creator
People dying of meth
How torn I am, who before I am
A voice in the wilderness
(Outro)
As the dove touches the sky
Touches the sky
This given day
Much Love, Respect and grace to Dr. Rasunah Marsden for her patronage in helping create this music and film.
