about

A haunting song about the American South, and a lost musical legend.

lyrics

Well, old Daniel Morgan came in from the rain
singin’ good was the flesh that the Word once became.
He slept in the corner but ain’t it a shame
that the redcoats weren’t supposed to be sleeping.

And as soon as they noticed that teardrop tattoo
and the rings on his fingers and the scar on his arm.
They fired their muskets and raised the alarm
while the town was still still and still sleeping.

And you are like. You are like.
You are like some long forgotten memory.

Back against the wall he unleashed his soul
while breaking glass and laughter made music of their own.
The voice of an angel singing Corpus Christi
burns bright enough you know there must be a fee.

The heat burns through everything including the waves.
And the moon is a virgin you can’t turn away.
Memento mori for you are easily a dream.
The river invites you no bleeding no screams.

And you are like. You are like.
You are like some long forgotten memory.
