lyrics

O father of my brother, speak to me in my dreams. O mother of my father sing to me in my sleep. O true heart of true brother burn with emerald flame; show the starlit path before us; light the narrow way.
O pure voice of true sister ring the darkened sky; wake the spirits in the stone, give words to their cries. O father of my brother, sing with me in my dreams. O mother of my mother, speak with me in my sleep. I had a dream of your father. He came to me in honor. He touched his palm to my head, to show where thorns turn red. He pointed to the garden low to show me where ghostflowers grow. Through the weeds all overgrown, weeping, reaping, gone unsown, winding, finding tales untold, blossoming for souls unsold. He pointed to my throat and asked the songs to flow; then spread his arms like wings; but I was afraid to sing. No hymn, no song, no ballad came. He closed his eyes then he did say, "Sing for me then when you wake." eyes open, waking, shaking, I wrote his words and then the song of the dream of your father, Brother.

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.
