lyrics

Guidance, guidance what’s my name?
I heard it on the corner that Jesus saves all men.
She read my cards in an old train car
Positioning the fabric beneath the stars oh man
We see what’s right and we see what’s wrong,
Declare it all a prophecy ignoring our own faults…..but I can see them all.

I saw it in the stars, the stars, the stars
I read it in the scripture sent by God
The lines upon your palm they stretched like antennae, I’ve found
That you can fake the sound

Man on the corner he’s preaching hate,
Proclaiming from the gospel the enemies of the state
Psychic priest, God’s faithful squire
He screams out to the crowd to throw the weak onto the fire
Men of God they scream out loud, they’re speaking all the tongues but they don't know how to cry…they only know how to lie.

I saw it in the stars, the stars, the stars
I read it in the Scripture sent by God
The lines upon your palm they stretched like antennae, I’ve found
That you can shake the proud

Clock rings loud at the break of day, the devil’s only one mistake away beware,
The feeling in your bones when you take a life in God’s holy name it was a fight for you and me
The gurus in their frocks set the kids on fire they’ll fabricate the truth and admonish all the liars, and feed it back to the choir.

Central
by thermal features

Thermal Features has some of the most soothing (and jarring) music I've ever heard on a solo bass. Each piece is like a little portrait, deep in sound, but satisfying in its brevity. Dead Kings of Norway

Crystals in the Deep
by Crystals in the Deep

Crystals in the Deep is the other band that I make music with. It's darker and more laid back than Dead Kings of Norway. So far it's just the one album but we'll be writing another soon. Dead Kings of Norway
