Congregation
Made of lesser men
Isolation
Slowly does them in
Days departed
Weaker sun by sun
Those cold hearted
Who live by the gun
I am still here
Watch you toil away
Play it so sincere
Day by woeful day
And all that exists
Without my knowledge
That all exists
Without my consent
Poor Toadvine
The branded cannot choose
But to outlive and outshine
And die by the noose
Toadvine

Holy Light
05:50
|
|
||
Sigh by molten sigh
Come and rise
Clad in golden sky
And stone disguise
Deep red clay and earthly things
For flesh and bone
West wind dance for folded wings
Big Bear for heart and home
Holy light
Into your near nowhere
Of sea and earth and air
Dusk dew in your hair
Into your near nowhere
As above so below
In the middle your reign
Watchers come and go
Ash and dust all the same
Star belt child of many moons
You are one
With deep plains and shifting dunes
And winds from a downing sun

Mud Roads
03:31
|
|

You’re going away
Walk down the mud roads
You’re going away
You have seen your share
I’m gonna stay
And watch the trees move
I’m gonna stay
And watch the leaves sway in the wind
You’re going away
Back to your home town
You’re going away
We’ll never meet again
I’m gonna stay
And watch the leaves turn
I’m gonna stay
And watch the wind shake the trees

Sun Shine In
03:43
|
|
||
Let the sun shine in
Let her eyes go dim
Watch herself floating
Hear herself talking
She let the sun shine in
Skin and bone waiting
Patiently craving
To feel her heart give in
All for nothing
All or nothing
To setting sun confess
Kneel in indifferent gloam
Ask that somewhere else
Could feel this much like home

Pisces
06:53
|
|
||
The day is done
Oh my friend
Times together
Must come to an end
Overhead
Pisces spin
New days come
Again and again
and again
All we will do is bow to the sign
Blood soaks the ground once again in the name of the divine
It’s all we will be under this sky
This age of Pisces will end when all of us die
Plowshares rust
Poppies bloom
The bride braves years
To stay with the groom
Overhead
Pisces swim
New age come
Up a storm
And driving rain

Pyre
08:57
|
|
||
Stand still
Slowly overkill
Take your heart
Out of your chest
Hold it apart
From all the rest
Call on everyone
Show them what you’ve done
Hope to see
The goat and the hand
Damned you be
To burn in a heathen land
Stand still
And light a cigarette
Burn a hole in the face
Of the cosmic silhouette
