The Tale Of Times



I declare a new era of love, of love, of love, of love

I know my name, I know my part, I’m bold enough to face my crimes

I might be young, but maybe I’m old, for I can tell the tale of times


Love can only be met with love, with love, with love, with love

Hate can only lead to war, and the war you wage with your own soul

Truth can only free your heart, but you choose to hide

You point the blame outside, and so you weave the tale of times

Your crime, your crime

You’re crying


I declare I’m coming home, and you can’t keep me from my throne

It’s my rightful place to be, and I don’t care if you agree

I gently, humbly serve the world, and I don’t care if I’m heard

As long as I’m heard by the ready few

God is the way; love is the truth


Love can only be met with love, with love, with love, with love

Hate can only lead to war, and the war you wage with your own soul

Truth can only free your heart, but you choose to hide

You point the blame outside, and so you weave the tale of times

Your crime, your crime

You’re crying, you’re crying

You’re crying, you’re crying

Songs


A guitar, a voice, and a little love—here I found my home in the world.


I grew up listening to Simon And Garfunkel, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Cat Stevens, Tracy Chapman, and many other folk legends.


Music teaches me to surrender and flow with life. To let go, let my little soul play, and the song naturally arises in that space. I capture that moment live with minimal production. My wish is for the songs to come alive in you.



Lila Tace


My journey in art started in torment as a fifteen-year-old girl. Life was suffocating me, and I felt small. The world was hostile, and I had no voice. I was cloaked in layers of pain that kept me from experiencing and expressing my soul authentically. Thankfully, music found me.


Songs came to me in dreams, and I jotted them down. I taught myself to play the guitar and slowly broke out of my shell. Arriving at authenticity through art is a spiritual journey. Each art session is a purge—a rewriting of destiny with each sharing of art.


It took me fifteen years to free my little soul from the tar I collected. Today, I freely express myself and feel alive. This, to me, is a miracle as I think back to where it all started.


Today, art is my spiritual discipline, a meditation—A direct experience of my soul aligned with the flow of life. Through art, I experience God. Through art, I surrender layers of my past to discover who I truly am.


I share The Spiritual Path Of Art through my podcast, books, and community. It is my wish that you find your place in the world as an artist!
