Flame - The 6th - Clear Sight Music
While The 6th has plenty of style, however, Flame never sacrifices substance as the lyrics are jam-packed with relevant reflections on the human condition. "Really, it’s a study of anthropology as we look at mankind from many different angles,” says Flame, a.k.a. Marcus Gray. "God created humans on the sixth day, we are the climax of God’s creation, and God deposited so much meaning—and purpose—into us as humans. So I wanted to explore what that means. Are we still where He intended us to be? How far have we actually fallen from the pace, and how do we return to our original purpose? Those are the questions I explore in this album."
