- Track Name: Spirit of Memory
-
Spirited to the woods
With a gun in his hand
Now free from other's eyes
As a paler version of myself
Shadowed him
Spirit of Memory
She's gone green on me
Now ripening beneath
A moon of ever-aging flaxen beams
And I could feel everything
Spirit of Bravery
"Fear flee from thee!"
Let these sleepy beasts be free
The casings form a crescent at my feet
I enjoy everything - Track Name: WestDownRightUpLeftEast
-
Human love is a hungry sun
And it's burning all my energy up
But holy love is a giving land
Warming up the earth in my hands
I'm growing up
You're gonna be
Where you ought to be
A new country
All your own
I'm cutting my hair
In the bathroom
You're sleeping there
On your own
West
Down

East - Track Name: Like Diamonds
-
Scratch the golden shore
With diamonds
Healthy and secure
If they lied...
Oh, forbidden words
All secret
Watch the wilted worm
With your eyes closed
Coveted and worn
Like Diamonds
Bonds unbreakable
Your love - Track Name: Moshua

Moshua
Your song is set in
Your song lives inside
My soul - Track Name: Arizona

Great Big Family
Your home
A rolling home
Keeps rolling on
Great Big Warrior
Your eyes
Are eagle eyes
Dark eagle eyes
But we were afraid
Of what would happen
We were afraid
We knew what would happen
The eldest of our children
He's having trouble breathing this air
So pack it up we're leaving
Bending back our bows of horse hair
We're waving to our friends now
They're bleeding into golden backgrounds
We're aiming for the West Lands
We'll grow up in the desert hands
Why are we turning back around?
Oh, dear God, we said forever
Oh, my Lord, we slept together
Oh, dear God, it's for the better
Oh, my Lord
That's why we don't live in Arizona - Track Name: Wheat-Germ Mother
-
Give to each other
There's no need for words
See the butter-leaves
Rest on our shoulders
A Wheat-Germ Mother
Glowing with birth
And out came two brothers
Full of the earth
Lay low
Stay still
Keep quiet
My child, those boys run wild
We set our hooves on fire
And split for the tree-line
Through teeth of barb and wire
And the creek of white wine
We swam as two little white doves
Danced on our tails
We'll weave two baskets of love
From the smoke of our trails
Lay low
Stay still
Keep quiet
My child, those creature are wild - Track Name: Raised in Glory
-
Sewn in weakness
Raised in power
Sewn in dishonor
Raised in Glory
Raise them up
Oh King of Justice
Child of David
Wash your hands
Son of David
Wash their feet
You are my only son
Have I gone too deep
Am I asleep, Lord?
Give me a sign
A tender shoot
A dried up root
He's burning branches with no fruit
Lord, I'm not worthy to die like you
Put my head on the ground
Washa, Washa, Washa
Wake up, child
The half has not been told
Root of Jesse
Root of Blessing
Bring the remnant back to You
Seek the Lord you shall be called
"Repairer of Broken Walls" - Track Name: Breakfast Song
-
Red iron bones 'neath blankets white
A breakfast song
Kettle is ready and stove is bright
A breakfast song
Red iron bones, blankets white
Passing the time that draws us near
In fleeting love
Left in a note on tables here
Deep, deep love
New born baby suns
Whistling through tender tongues
Silver orbits run
Tracing our deep, deep love
Deep, deep love.
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE
Red iron bones, blankets white - Track Name: I AM in Everything, Everywhere
- I AM in Everything, Everywhere
- Track Name: There Is No Death
-
There is no death! The stars go down
To rise upon some other shore
And bright in Heaven's jeweled crown
They'll shine forevermore
There is no death! The forest leaves
Convert to life the viewless air
Oh, the rocks disorganize to feed
The hungry moss they bear
There is no death! This dust we tread
Shall change beneath the summer showers
To golden grain or mellow fruit
Or a rainbow-tinted flower
And ever near us, though unseen
The dear immortal spirits tread
Throughout the boundless universe
There is Life! There is Life!
There are no dead
