Pandora's Box Words and music by Michael McPherson Published by Big Table Music

Selling souls to pay for destiny
They'd been told it had to be done
If any of them had known what the future would bring
They'd have cut their losses and run

But Pandora's box lay open and the demons were set free
As we cowered in our corner afraid to see
So they spread across the desert sky casting shadows on the moon
And we knew temptation's price would be paid soon
Would be paid soon, so soon, we knew temptation's price would be paid soon

Dangerous secrets held in the wrong hands
The bear had stolen the force of the sun
A sudden parity in death's game
An alarm clock set for oblivion

But Pandora's box lay open and the demons were set free
As we cowered in our corner afraid to see
So they spread across the desert sky casting shadows on the moon
And we knew temptation's price would be paid soon
Would be paid soon, so soon, we knew temptation's price would be paid soon

The torch is passed to a new generation
Whose optimism diminishes fear
But shadowy figures seed the expansion
And the final solution is drawing so near

But Pandora's box lay open and the demons were set free
As we cowered in our corner afraid to see
So they spread across the desert sky casting shadows on the moon
And we knew temptation's price would be paid soon
Would be paid soon, so soon, we knew temptation's price would be paid soon
