about

This was recorded from our very first show on Jan. 23, 2014!

lyrics

Smoke from bombs, soldiers as pawns
They plunder a village in dim light of dawn
Songbirds will sing to deaths coming ring
A father's blood spilled in the name of a king

No hope, no peace, citizens who flee
Executions for all who try
No hope, no peace, citizens deceased
Executions for all who defy

Come my neighbors and friends, please take my hand
Escape to the highest peak, abandon tyranny
Our small town covered in ash, relieve us from our past
Don't fret, a new day shall come, we'll need no longer to run

Sleet and wind, a cattleman's kin
Her guidance brings strength to those who are meek
A perilous time through rocks and vine
A burden that burns like fire to pine

Her lead, her voice, patrons rejoice
Fair lady for whom they pride
Her lead, her voice, patrons anoint
Fair lady for whom they confide

In the dead of winter, bones burned from conquers
Courageous child, a desolate migration
