lyrics

My one good eye sees the world through a mist.
My one good eye sees the sorrow and bliss
Of men and birds - of birds and men.
My one good eye can't read the text,
But my one good eye can see the signs
In the fiery sky where the moths do fly.
Men call me blind, but I can see:
There are certain things that appear to me -
Like the flame and the spark;
And the Red Hand Mark;
And the bloody moon which falls too soon;
And the red morning which shows warning
With tooth and beak and lightning streak.
My one good eye sleepless stirs
Upon the end of men and birds -
But it dreams of war and the Horsemen Four.
My one good eye can't aim the arrow,
But my one good eye can see the point:
Baptize with blood. Anoint the mud.

Well, I can see certain things
Like holy water from holy springs
Where lonesome pilgrims stop to sing
And weary sinners stop to pray.
Here I fall upon my knee:
Less than sinner, bird, or tree.
My vision clears. I start to cry.
Tears fall from my one good eye.

Stone Breath Red Lion, Pennsylvania

Stone Breath is not new. It is cracked. Broken. Imperfect. Hidden. Weathered by the seasons.

We sing of ghosts and of forgotten paths through forest and fallow field.
