lyrics

I heard the fingers of the dead
Clawing from inside my head,
And I wept as fever burned
Until I saw the bone-white bird.

Black Maria brought it here
To calm my heart and ease my fear
And keep me hidden from their eyes;
Soulless, still, and full of lies.

O behold the bone-white bird!
It answers to Her holy word
And stands guard for hours, still,
Blessed in its bone-white quill.

And Black Maria is blessed too.
She brings this bird, so brave and true.
Still, I weep beneath its wings,
And ever shall the birdsong ring!

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.
