mirrors in Canyonlands

lyrics

Anasazi in the sky
ridgetops written in an ancient light
in a tongue —
of another time

A tempered valley slowly groans
growin on a web of concrete bones
in his ways —
and he won’t be phased

I’m not in your way
so bring me into this new day
take your time and we’ll end it just great
if i ever break down i could burn this place, but hey
taste this
truth of ages

Across space, across the plains
canyons of juniper and fields of sage
across time — and all the souls that dwelled here
it’s like a spirits memoriam graveyard

My faith
will sacrifice my whole life and my assets
but if it’s done right I could mean the difference
between good and wrong
but where is that line you draw in the sand

— In the desert sand

Anasazi in the sky
ridgetops written in an ancient light
in a tongue —
of another time

A tempered valley slowly groans
growin on a web of concrete bones
in his ways —
and he won’t be phased

I’m not in your way
so bring me into this new day
take your time and we’ll end it just great
if i ever break down i could burn this place, but hey
taste this
it’s the truth of ages

Across space, across the plains
canyons of juniper and fields of sage
across time — and all the souls that dwelled here
it’s like a spirits memoriam graveyard

My faith
will sacrifice my whole life and my assets
but if it’s done right I could mean the difference
between good and wrong
but where is that line you draw in the sand

— Way out in the desert sand

I hear the desert callin my name
in the woods it’s never the same
here it’s always cinders and rain
out in the desert — always the same
