In his role as a writer, Hertrich as usual sees the world critically, but instead of observing the outer grievances under social and political viewpoints, he dips directly into the listener to show him his worst enemy on his way to growth and self-realization: doubts and fears. The lyrics of "Pulse" don't focus on hopelessness but motivate the listener/reader to recognize and establish positive character attributes slumbering in every human soul: courage, inner strength, sensibility, respect.
In cooperation with the German author and scientist Dr. phil. Christian Rätsch and the Russian video team Deviant Creations, a multimedia section was created, including a video clip as well as text material of the author. Being a world-renowned anthropologist and ethnopharmacologist he spent three years of fieldwork among the Lacandone Indians in Chiapas, Mexico, being the only European fluent in their language. His numerous fieldworks also have included research in Thailand, Bali, the Seychelles, and a long-term study (18 years) on shamanism in Nepal combined with expeditions to Korea and the Peruvian and Columbian Amazon. Atmospheric flutes and percussion insets were arranged by the Columbian Shaman Kajuyali Tsamani. Also appearing: female vocals by Gaby Koss (former Haggard, Germany) and Yana Veva (Theodor Bastard, Russia), drums by Maurizio Guolo (Darkseed, Germany) and guitar solos by the German artists Christian Bystron (Megaherz), Rene Berthiaume (Equilibrium) and Markus Glanz (Koyaanisqatsy). "Pulse" was recorded in the German Helion Studios and Russian Pustota Studios.
Show Me The Way
Spiritual Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I knew that it was something that
that I had to find (I've been searchin')
You should have seen me wringing my hands and crying
It was all because I couldn't find peace of mind
And it was then, oh I kneeled down to pray
I said Lord will you show me the way (the way, way)
But I just couldn't find my way, yeah
But that day Lord, my life oh yes Sir
Seemed like I came to a dead end road
And it was then woah I kneeled down to pray
I said Lord will you show me the way
Well, I've been searchin for a long time
I knew that it was something that
that I had to find (I've been searchin')
You should have seen me wringing my hands and crying
It was all because I couldn't find peace of mind
And it was then oh I kneeled down to pray
I said come on Jesus show me the way
Sometimes I tell it Lord
Oh Lord (oh Lord)
Come on Lord (show me the way)
Oh Lord (oh Lord)
Oh my Lord ( show me the way)
You showed my mother (oh Lord)
You showed my father (show me the way)
You showed my sister (oh Lord)
You showed my brother (show me the way)
Have you ever asked Him (oh Lord)
Have you ever asked Him (show me the way)
Oh Lord (oh Lord)
Oh Lord (show me the way)
Oh Lordy (oh Lord)
Oh Lordy (show me the way)
Oh Lordy (oh Lord)
Oh my Lordy (show me the way)
And it was then, oh I kneeled down to pray
I said Lord will you show me the way (the way, way)
ooh yeah
