Understanding 04:32
lyrics
buy track
The proud and the pious marching For religion or their own name They cry for fear's destruction But I'm trembling all the same My brother is in the gutter and My sister is in the news The silent are neglected and The loudest are abused I won't pretend to be righteous I'm a beggar with my own sin But for all your words of understanding I hope you're listening I see the banners waving As the 'just' take up the cause Behind the silver curtain I can hear The devil sharpen claws The crowd starts to gather and Emotion's running high I hear the swords drawing I can see it in their eyes I won't pretend to be righteous I'm a beggar with my own sin But for all your words of understanding I hope you're listening I hope you're listening All my friends listening All my enemies listening All the sinners listening All so called righteous listening All politicians listening All the beggars listening Is anyone listening? I won't pretend to be righteous I'm a beggar with my own sin But for all your words of understanding I hope you're listening I won't pretend to be righteous I'm a beggar with my own sin But for all your words of understanding Is anyone listening?

Terribly Near 05:54
lyrics

The hours turn and Our time is paid in tears The constant noise won't Silence all my fears So I left my home A ringing in my ears When the noise dies down I find You're already here And you are so terribly near You're pressing in like I've never known I behold the earth in song How good to be made So small In the cool of the trees Shaded from the light Gnarled limbs grow long On every side Then sheer and quick I am at the edge The land opens wide and I am at the edge And you are so terribly near You're pressing in like I've never known I behold the earth in song How good to be made So small You go before me A glimmer in your eye You speak in gems Your silence loud and bright Oh hallowed, you Breathe the depths of me Your bow is on My lowest strings And you are so terribly near You're pressing in like I've never known I behold the earth in song The earth in song And you are so terribly near You're pressing in like I've never known I behold the earth in song How good to be made So small How good to be made So small

In Love With the Dark 04:07
lyrics
buy track
All this delusion Has got me confused What is reason What is the ruse Don't give me an answer Only your view I'll bend it and twist it Then hand you a noose 'Cause I'm in love with the dark I'm in love I'm in love with the dark I'm in love I give the impression That I do what's right But I won't deliver Try as I might I won't ask for patience Or time to explain I've made my decision My justice is plain 'Cause I'm in love with the dark I'm in love I'm in love with the dark I'm in love Oh I'm in love with the dark I'm in love I'm in love with the dark I'm in love Whether kindness or curse Is not understood But my words are my axes and I've sharpened them good I'm in love with the dark Though I promise you light I'll bid you be well then I'll bury you right

Oh Christ, Oh Holiday 04:26
lyrics
buy track
Warm days are a memory The blushing trees take of their clothes They're waiting patiently For a blanket, for whitest robes The sun goes early to its rest The eager moon is soon to shine In the cold the stars are bold and bright and Coming dawn takes its time Oh snow fall steady Oh come, white and clean Let the hush cover everything Give our lungs room to breath Give our lungs room to breath The streets are dressed in red and gold Oh they've been waiting all year long The air takes on a kind of sheen It's hummin' familiar songs Home is home all the more With a fire and the whole family It's a witness to the tales of yore And all the Christmases we hope to see Oh snow fall steady Oh come, white and clean Let the hush cover everything Give our lungs room to breath Oh snow fall steady Oh come, white and clean Let the hush cover everything Give our lungs room to breath Glad tidings, on the way Let all our hearts draw near Oh Christ, oh holiday Bring light and hope and cheer Glad tidings, on the way Let all our hearts draw near Oh Christ, oh holiday Bring light and hope and cheer Bring light and hope and cheer
