lyrics

The mountains looked up the shadows danced under them:
both living and dead.

I took up the larger stone, pull it from the earth, worms, and dirt. I rose my arm high in the summer air. I let the other brother come through. He came through. (Pull from the roots of our softer hearts and breathe) Sin is crouching at our door. Let’s go out to our cultivate field and paint it red; both living and dead. “Your brother’s blood is calling me from the ground.”
