lyrics

Under the burning, bright, bastard moon he staggers and he sways.
Over the cane fields bathed in silver.

He flails and wheels and tumbles as though fending off a horde
but the beasts with which he's burdened disturb not a blade.

Under the burning moon, out under stars,
raging on solitude, all to his own.

The sky seems to be falling in on him
and the host calls out his name, howling out in glee.

Here in the burning light, shadows they play.
Walls of a fortress and here a charade.

As he counts his virtues on one hand he is secretly afraid
that a trumped up lion tamer may ruin his game.

Standing on solid ground, floating on air.
Truth is his witness but walked away.

The sky seems to be falling in on him
and the host calls out his name, howling out in glee.

Born of a broken line, bathed in blood.
Built of a privilege yet blaming his veins.

He bade them all take heed now, take heed of his tale,
but the mood turned when somebody asked him his name.

The sky seems to be falling in on him
and the host calls out his name, howling out in glee.

Songs off this first work would appear in a handful of independent films and had him playing alongside his heroes. Now Dirt Hand is back with a new, deeper concept and a ferocious, improv-based band process. ... more
