lyrics

The shells of the creatures once swimming mute
In the seas of old
Are dead and calcined and silent now too
When they under our feet unfold

The hills full of limestone they don't care
About the dust on the lungs of our forbearers
The wisdom of the years won't repair
The cuts barely mended by the time

The bodies of the critters still connect
The building blocks of that old house
And the man of my blood who dwelt insinde
They gave him work, he gave his life

The hills full of limestone they don't care
About the dust on the lungs of our forbearers
The wisdom of the years won't repair
The cuts barely mended by the time

His arms they dug for the stone we tread
You can see it coil around the mountains' feet
With every heave of his chest
The oceans of old were drowning him

The walls of the house still recall
The family of strangers forced to leave
I was told they were hiding inside
His kin did not know moving in

To give us a home they took their Heimat

Vagrants
by Mother Upduff

Great stuff. Love the harsh sound and that we got two slightly different takes. In a world of overly curated and produced music, this level of unopologetic musicianship stands out. Check out the rest! Mayham & Eggs
