The first single from Toss Your Javelin, "Kings, Gods, Fools" dives into Man as the Man dives into a clear, deep pond in a clearing in the forest to retrieve what some say cannot exist.

In the cool by the glass pool
Where you shed your clothes
On the stony shore there
Where the green moss grows
That's where you dreamt and chose

And you dove down for a secret
It took a couple tries
And when you resurfaced
Even despite the light
You were dissatisfied

You were utilizing tools
Are we kings or gods or fools?

Still I watched you watch me watching you
As you drank so resolute
Down to the dregs and truth
How the magic worked so fast
Heavy heart and pleasant mask

We walked for miles with your ashes
In an urn and a strongbox tight
And a list of your demands
Up to the House of Light
Where all would be made right

And with a flick of his deft wrist
He let the pictures go
And they floated upward
To where the warm storm blows
Through the kaleidoscope

So you planned and saved and stored
Was your body slave or lord?

Still I watched you watch me watching you
As you built so resolute
Your picture paper loot
How the magic worked so fast
Now you know you can't go back

You found your future in the water
Unknown to your son and your daughters
You were utilizing tools
