The Tower

come into your power
bottom of the tower
when the weed will come to flower
in the wind the trees do tower
no life without the sower
no turn without the over
come into your power
bottom of the tower
ground under fortune’s wheel
promised power isn’t real
accept you’re powerless
and become power blessed
ground under fortune’s wheel
promised power isn’t real

The Banging of the Drum
02:32
|
|||
|
come with me to avalon
we’ll walk and then we’ll run
and then we’ll reach the border by the setting of the sun
the scouts are on the hilltop and they wait for us to come
and prepare to send a message by the banging of the drum
the memory’s a footprint which is filling up with sand
and the flavor of the wine which did flow from every hand
and the movement of dark figures as they dance the rite of spring
they could teach you all about it but you wouldn’t learn a thing
so they stick you and they prick just to keep the vision gone
and they try to eat your memories like saturn with son
oh sanity’s a prison it’s the world that’s in the wrong
but there’s nothing you can do except remembering the song
we could share the things we found but couldn’t share the gun
and i’m saying this to people who don’t know where they’re from
and how we used to celebrate till we knew we hadn’t won
and the stopping of the music sept the banging of the drum

Hell Tears
02:20
|
|||
|
they bottle up your tears to sell
and sell them on the streets of hell
and each decision lead to grief from which these men can sell relief
and they don’t even need your life
they keep your face to recognize
and they don’t even need your life
reduced to fuel from smoking fire
and for each pain they blame the self
and in this story find their wealth
so bottle up my tears to sell i’ll drink them up to make me well
take the kids across the sea and give them back to anarchy
return to them and join your voice
there is no time there is no choice

Death
03:30
|
|||
|
while you were out occupied
with turning gold to lead
she was turning everything to dust
then this dust is watered by the ever crying cloud
in this mud the seed of life retain
whatever that you cling to
ends up dragging you
every strand of wheat she will behead
at the edge of fortunes wheel
the knife of harvest reaps
we encounter death her name is change
let it die
blinking of the eye
underneath the white rose they die

No Exceptions
01:22
|
|||
|
no exceptions
no interventions
at play is all the ending themes
of an empire
sow destruction
without interruption
the meek are left without a guard but pale angels
no exceptions
no insurrections
but we believe in the arsenic
in an apple
in temptation
no information
the truth was there all along
where you’re not looking
in your vision
escape from all prison
if just a window to the yard
facing concrete

The Moon
03:10
|

|
the lyrics of the song are not supposed to be apparent and mishearing them is part of the process of knowing them

No Exceptions pt II
03:27
|
|||
|
there’s a killer
hung from a pillar
believe
when we were hanging out
i knew more then
no deception
in water’s reflection
and we were turning inside out
in the mirror
no denying
the eye that is spying
it seems that there is a golden rope
on the scaffold
no exceptions
no interventions
at play is all the ending themes of an empire

Beneath The Turning Wheel
by Holy Locust
supported by 35 fans who also own “come into your power”
Holy Locust goes dark. This album has a desperate feel yet the urge to push ahead is always there. They somewhat push away from the folk feel to a more traditional classical music feel at times. I'm looking forward to seeing them live again, and after that I'm betting I'll come to conclude this is the best release by Holy Locust to date.

I remember when I first discovered Holy Locust, seeing a live performance that I was having trouble seeing over the heads of Bridge City Sinners lmao! But I have been in love with this album ever since I heard it. My homie has it on in his car constantly. The music is so rich and textured and beautiful, I'll never get over how amazing it is! Truly a masterpiece!

Beautifully played and full of moving vocal performances, the Bay Area singer/songwriter's latest is a stellar work of art.

"God, Forgive These Bastards" Songs From The Forgotten Life Of Henry Turner (2012)
by The Taxpayers
supported by 29 fans who also own “come into your power”
The Taxpayers were able to put down a tacklist of songs that allow us to go on a journey. In this album we experience the manic highs and lows one may experience in a life long battle with deteriorating mental health. The picture at times grim and beautiful is one I continually come back to as its tragedy never fades.
