Belief
03:45
|
|
||
|
Verse 1:
Belief is half of what I think of when i hear the people crying, dying
And the words they throw blindly at a surface, only mirrors of reflections of their wealth
The other half is the road I walk alone, the one that takes me to a door where men and women
Fight with reflections of themselves, turning away closing the door
Chorus:
But you, you had it all going on
Yes you, you nearly made it through your war
I can hold you, if it makes it feel the same
I can touch you, if you can’t feel anything
Verse 2:
Reality turns fiction into truth, senses flash the memories you decide
Her shadows are engulfed by the fear, as fires grow and die in her eyes
Thirst, a casual decay, eats away her words from the inside
I can see that you are blind, did your mother teach you how to lie, lullaby?

Making Rainbows

Verse 1:
Sometimes it's a miracle, got you down on your knees
The cold boys are all laughing, taking 'bout all their fears
And the girls are breaking windows, thinkin' 'bout their used dreams
So they walked out of paradise all lost and confused
Took 10,000 years to find the god in their hearts
Chorus:
So if you're scared of life take it slow
Don't get caught up in a warzone
Fearful, beware, for the history's never told
But the times are turning quicker than we know
And it's time to make the rainbows light the road
Verse 2:
The people I praise don't have rust in their veins
They don't alienate all their lovers just because they can
It's gonna be strange when we empty out in the stations
It's gonna make 'em fuckin' crazy when it's written in the sky
But they can't stop the tidal waves from all the people they hurt
Chorus
Verse 3:
So if you see me be cautious and fear for your life
'Cause I will make you pay for all the greed in your lies
I'm just sitting here writing, but there's more going on
I got justice in my veins, I got fire in my words
And I'm a one-man leader, lord, for the righteous and brave, brave
Chorus

Days of Remembrance
04:36
|
|
||
|
Chorus:
These are the days, these are the times
Death is the only thing not unkind
People will fall, many will burn
Mercy is the only stone left unturned
Verse 1:
Broken hopes red like a river
River Jordan spills through these veins
Mary saw the beauty in a trace of light
She cried 'till evening sun came down
Old Elijah, he met his maker,
He gave up all his money to the Commonwealth
He hated everything in his hands
He wept until he bled into the 7 seas
Chorus
Verse 2:
In the Cathedral, the weatherman he cries,
"if hatred is evil, so then am I"
No one can distinguish, with all their might,
businessmen, weathermen, sinners, or saints
the old man he sits in his cauldron of gold,
Nevermind the voice crying out in his head's
"all God's children slaved for years in my name
to build these walls that I hide myself in"
Chorus
Verse 3:
I hear it coming, from the soil to the moon
The purging of our saints on this all holy night
I hold up my bible, strike a match on the page
Let's all join in and sing hallelu
When America dies, we'll all be set free (2x)
If heaven and hell are alive and well,
Then we've all been damned to the pits of hell
Chorus
Mercy is the only stone left unturned (3x)
Mercy is the only stone left...

The Day My Angels Sing
04:38
|
|
||
|
When the sun has faded from this desert,
Cold water has emptied from this well
Refrain:
Will you be there for me,
On that day my angels sing?
When my burden has been reckoned
And my master's work has been fulfilled
Refrain
When words cease to be repeated
And when love is too hard to find
Refrain
Bridge:
Well I searched for some promised land
I searched till I could no longer stand
All I saw were borders of separation
And an ocean too large to cross alone
I have tried to loosen these shackles,
I have tried in every way I can
Refrain
When this body decays into ashes,
When these bones no longer hold me down
Refrain
On that day my angels sing

*lyrics indecipherable in areas*
Verse 1:
after the war they took our children
after the raid they took our homes
after the funeral they took our insurance
after the winter they bought our bones
Verse 2:
after the drought they gave us water
after the storm they took our food
after the sex they sold our bodies
after the pain they let us go
Bridge:
we tried, when the war came to town
we cried, when they raped the ground
we fought, when they told us it was done
we said "there's no fucking way it's done!"
Verse 3:
after the bomb they mailed us arrows
after the fire they gave us ice
after the oil they put bleach in the water
after the sun they gave us dark
Verse 4
after the siege they washed the babies, after the night they let us dry
after the pages in the book were over, they threw them in the trash
after the words were already written, they were burned by the hands of men
after the film became reality, all of our wishes died
Bridge
after the war they left us postcards, after the night they let it rain

Odin KBR recommends:
Pure lo-fi atmospheric folk bliss. Sounds that take you back to a hazy childhood memory of the ocean waves with wind blowing through your hair on a foggy San Francisco night...

Matt is a genius! Lo-fi mellow psych-surf rock with creative jazz beats and a cohesion reminiscent of Pink Floyd. Truly ahead of their respective ages.
