Description: This track originally appeared in my first album, "Fading Purple Sky," and ended up being more or less the heart of that album. Since then, I've had it performed with bands I've been in, which has yielded to some structural elements of the song, primarily by making it longer.

about

This track originally appeared in my first album, "Fading Purple Sky," and ended up being more or less the heart of that album. Since then, I've had it performed with bands I've been in, which has yielded to some structural elements of the song, primarily by making it longer.

lyrics

To hear weeping fall
like music from a father's lips:
"O Absalom my son!"

To search to understand in vertigo,
to run across a barren mind
with a fading purple sky
to your own river separating
North from South;
a divided kingdom.

Sobs sounds across borders
like the bellows of livestock
that bleat longingly across a pasture.

They lament their own
who crossed over the boundary:
those taken by kingship lust or crocodiles,

those riding, captured, hung in trees,
those devoured, put to pieces,
leaving only red rivers behind.

--lyrics by Bryan Runck
