Become Only
07:12

Once you sweep a seed
Into the soil
It’s no longer
In your hands
Oh if we could become
Become only
Oh what that
Would look like
But I saw you
You stole all the stone
From our city
And broke them into bread
How could you let us
Swallow all our walls
When you knew
There’d be none left?
I saw you steal
The stones from our city
And break them
Into bread
How could you let us
Swallow all our walls
Until we had none?
In the name
Of all
That is חַי
Destroy, destroy
In the name
Of all
That is חַי
Destroy, destroy
In the name
Of all
That is חַי
Destroy, destroy
In the name
Of all
That is חַי
Destroy, destroy
Cause I’m okay with being desperate
So destroy
And when the branches are clear
And our eyes reveal us the sky
You have destroyed
Til our roots run deeply
With a hand full of seeds we become
Weather the green tree
Til life comes to dead vines

Majesties

I went to your door
To make a home
Instead you wrestled
You wrestled with me
When you look at me
Do you not see
Your very father?
Your father is me
Let me hear you say
That I have killed
My father's
Only son
You assume that he
That he is me
Well stop searching – the thief
Has always lived here
We shall wait for the day
When truth and love are one
Then we'll become
How many times
Have I given you
Everything you've asked for?
And how many times
Have I got
Just anything at all?
And how many times
Have I given you
Everything you've asked for?
And how many times
Have I got
Just anything at all?
If I did not love
I would have given up
If I did not love
If I did not love
I could have had it all
If I did not love…

Inside Us

Can a father bring a child
And that child not bring life?
Will a mother feed that child
If that child will not cry?
We hoped the fears that walked beside us
Lived only in our minds
So you cannot know laughter
When you no longer share in mine

Dead Sea

Went to the Dead Sea
And the Sea of Galilee
When there at the foot of the Jordan
Something occurred to me
The Dead does not have life
While the other flows abundantly
What Galilean keeps on giving
The dead hold selfishly
For when
You are given life
But do not give
That life shall cease
The fool keeps on searching
For what that wise already have
The pages keep on turning
Where are the words I lack?
For the winds
Just keep on blowing
Even if you catch them
Can you bring them back?
I know you think you need to know
That you have to find out
That there is no room for doubt
But one day we'll all see
Once you've tasted חַי
Once you've drank his blood
Once you've had enough
There's no need

Future Fears
04:41

Well you can try and force yourself into
Someone's heart; make them love you
But you still wont hold the key
Well you can try and gather all your plans
Mark you path upon your map
But the best that you can do is just that
I’m amazed at the future of my days
After all the plans I’ve laid
I couldn't change my fate
It stayed; the fear that I retain
And no one can explain
Just why you came my way
Well you can run away and cut your hair
Find a stranger with some change to spare
But he still won't let you in
So you can try and hide behind closed doors
But the angel of Death, he knows what he came for
And he won't leave
And when he sees no blood upon the frame
And he wants you to explain
Well he'll ask by name
So you can try to cleanse the air you breath
And clear your throat before you speak
But just because you talk doesn't mean he'll believe
I’m amazed at the future of my days
After all the plans I’ve laid
I couldn't change my fate
It stayed; the fear that I retain
And no one can explain
Just why you came my way
And oh, it's the sound of love
Washing myself of
What I used to believe
And so when Fear comes
He won't know what
To think of me

The Chalice
03:47
|

Your father meant your daughter
To be a garden well watered
When he returned he whispered
This is my vineyard; how I love her
That child is a thief
You know that she stole my father's love
She never will return
What she's taken from all of us
When he came back
He bore a chalice
Been at the winepress
His feet were stained red
My child
Please partake
Show me you love me
Take this from me
This chalice waits for one taste
Just to see that it is good
That child is a thief
You know that she stole my father's love
She never will return
What she's taken from all of us
That child while she sleeps
She doesn't know that while she dreams
That she's caused a tear and she's unaware
Of exactly what that means
I found upon the altar your finest of fruits
I cannot help but wonder, my dear, where are you?
The flesh of fruit does not smell sweet to me
Place your body on the altar; let us break bread and eat

Board, board me up
Behind your cedar paneled doors
Lay, lay me up
Upon your threshing floor
Trade, trade me up
But only with your love
However it may come
Prepare, prepare the blood
Cause I won't bring you
Something that costs me nothing
Just as my beloved is a sacrifice, so shall I
We were once happy to dance in this light
Before we were ever found inside
