lyrics

Little Timmy is haunted
By the voices of the dead.
His brother likes to tell him
That it's all up in his head.
His mother kneels and prays
These words are never said -
But little Timmy hears
The voices of the dead.

Little Timmy listens
To the sound of sabbath speech.
Kneeling on sunday,
He hears it from a priest;
But lying in his bed
A blacker talk is cast,
And witches' words now chill like icy drafts.

And Timmy spends his time
Walking through the graves.
Sister Anna catches him
All for his soul to save.
She tells him he will fall
Down into coffin grim
To lie with the skeleton's arms around him.

O this is no deterrent
For a boy who hears the ghosts
Calling from the earth below
In single voice or host.
He sits among the headstones
Singing little songs,
While his mother mutters,
"Something here is wrong."

about

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.
