lyrics

All these poison crimes
malignant, refined
From the deep earth they rise
And we can wait for some saving grace
That no one can devise

The clear western butte
The fossilized truth
The dry wash skeletons
Those bright arroyos of sin

Long horizon myth canonize
hyperbole and lies
At the terminus of some shattered land
Where the reckless hold place and die

The scars of cruelty
The Navajo peace
The famine lingers
in the panic in the fields and streams

The ghosty rut
The meager crust
The sterile mountain
in the shimmer of the alkali dust

The empty pleasure
The empty waste

And all we save
on that incandescent wave
Is another day
Born at sunrise; at sunset revised
Under the crushing weight of an azure blue sky

The vanquished passion
The canyon wanders away
in the hope and wonder

The empty pleasure
The empty waste

The barren hands
Revenge and scams
The battleground
that no one will ever ride again

The empty pleasure
The empty waste

For that, see the links below. ... more
