about

A song for a friend...

lyrics

Strike water from the hill and run from Mamu's call.
Greg's grin the innocence in which his grace adorned.
His gifts, too generous, were stolen for us all.
Back then was better...

A shifty cheshire cat, leaves nothing but a grin.
Greg's gone for family yet will return again.
Shows me a darkened house but cannot let me in.
Will it get better...

Begun in guilt and formed through fear,
The very thought of leaving here
While waiting for an end to bring formation.
So assuage your guilt, assuage your fears,
It's better than just standing here.
But don't forget your brother once abandoned.

Return from years afar, the same, a little worse.
Greg's empty eyes unclosed, broken, false and cursed.
Search for some innocence forgotten untraversed.
Does it get better...

Begun in guilt and formed through fear,
The very thought of leaving here
While waiting for an end to bring formation.
So assuage your guilt, assuage your fears,
It's better than just standing here.
But don't forget your brother once abandoned.

Upon a hill, some years ago,
A blessed call, may it be so?
Do broken bodies form a true communion?
To us sinners here it's so unclear.
Oh Father God we spit and jeer,
But don't forget my brother once abandoned...
