From the recording Bruises Become Bronze
Lyrics
This song
I have not heard before
nor its melody
The sound
brick and stone,
ancient tyranny
I been dyin’ a lot lately
all my pride
I been dyin’ a lot lately
This man
I have not known before
nor have I felt his ways
His robe
Skin and bone
all my days
This land
I have not seen before
nor its give and take
Its ocean
it has no shore
only distant waves
