500 Horses
06:54
|
|||
The temptress speaks with tongues of gold
We hear her wail we hear her call
Over mountains and over the plains
Passing palaces reduced to ruins
And ruins reduced to ashes
500 horses
Take me to the garden of Hesperides
500 horses 500 horses
They say a holy man is holed up inside the barracks
Yes the barracks behind the abattoir
A good soldier was he endured the injustices of the flesh
And Solomon's blind rage
500 horses
Take me to the garden of Hesperides
500 horses 500 horses
Drown out the background noise of anguish
I don't ask for secrets for holy knowledge
I am too small to comprehend
All I ask for is let me be ready to go
When Ereshkigal comes calling
500 horses
Take me to the garden of Hesperides
500 horses 500 horses

Whalebone
03:57
|

Some say it's an omen
A sign of things to come
Some say it's simply what happens
When the carcass rots to the bone
Some say Jonah didn't mind
The inside of the whale
Some say the whale delivers
The Drowning soldier to his home shore
Whalebone, Whalebone, Whalebone, Whalebone
Some say Ahab had a moral fever
And Ishmael was filled with doubt
Queequeg, you noble savage comes and sing with me:
Whalebone, Whalebone, Whalebone, Whalebone
Look into his sad wise eyes
He pitties us For he knows
What we cannot know
Turn around cause not everyone's ready for
Whalebone
Whalebone, Whalebone, Whalebone, Whalebone

Diamond Mind
02:34
|

Cut your teeth on contemplation
Diamond mind, Diamond mind, Diamond mind
All creatures, born to suffer
Diamond mind, Diamond mind, Diamond mind
Diamond mind, Diamond mind, Diamond mind
Oh Sweet Diamond mind
Be gentle and be kind
Diamond mind, Diamond mind, Diamond mind
Be without any attachment
Diamond mind, Diamond mind, Diamond mind
Diamond mind, Diamond mind, Diamond mind
Oh Sweet Diamond mind
All is empty, all is void
Diamond mind, Diamond mind, Diamond mind
Wake up, child – you've been dreaming
Diamond mind, Diamond mind, Diamond mind
Diamond mind, Diamond mind, Diamond mind
Oh Sweet Diamond mind
A dream an illusion a shadow a flash of light
Diamond mind, Diamond mind, Diamond mind
The golden eternity is waiting
Diamond mind, Diamond mind, Diamond mind
Diamond mind, Diamond mind, Diamond mind
Oh Sweet Diamond mind

Born to Die
03:28
|

The skies turn red the children cry
O nation of the blind
Your home is the slaughterhouse
All of god's creatures born to die
All of god's creatures born to die
The lion's bowels, the serpent's tongue
Oh elder whitnes is too young
Cruel beauty the odor of death
All of god's creatures born to die
All of god's creatures born to die
The darkness of disease
The fire of frustration
My prophecies are not of the healing kind
All of god's creatures born to die
All of god's creatures born to die
Why why the river keept on turning
Tell me why, why is it so
Cruel beauty
The odor of death can wait
Tomorow’s gonna be too late
Please dont faith
All of god's creatures born to die
All of god's creatures born to die
Why why tell my why is it so
Tell me why, why is it so

I Wrote a Book
03:33
|
|||
Never mind it’s wood it’s pine
We won’t have to check it at no River
Or Beg a song for another chance
The grieving woman can’t talk or dance
- she’s holding the glory
- knows the coming and goin’
- she knows the story calling her name
You changed the story but i wrote the book
Soon everybody’s gonna have another look
You changed the story but i wrote the book
You gonna pay for everything you took
I wrote a book that holds this story
Water is what makes the river stay
Pointing east or pointing west
Thats not my way to pray
No shifting wind, no trouble mind
No shifting wind, no trouble mind
No shifting trough holy water or cheap wine
You changed the story but i wrote the book
Soon everybody’s gonna have another look
You changed the story but i wrote the book
You gonna pay for everything you took

Down Here Where I Am
02:44
|

The rivers over floating
Down here where i am
The rain keeps on pouring
I can’t get in to Town
I guess i start on walking
Before the morning comes
I’ll be there tomorrow
With my chosen one
The rivers over floating
Down here where i am
The rain keeps on pouring
I can’t get in to Town
The miles don't seem too many
Thinkin' of your charms
And pleasures unlike any
Wrapped up in your arms
The rivers over floating
Down here where i am
The rain keeps on pouring
I can’t get in to Town

There is no life within the laws of man
There is no life within the laws of man
Sink or swim if you can
There is no life within the laws of man
There is no purpose to be found
In buy and sell
Who is right who is wrong
And who can tell?
You said it was a war worth fighting
There is no life within the laws of man
It is true that I ran
And now I'm hiding
I soiled the flag brought disgrace to all
Nothing but a wretch backsliding
Now I'm standing before man's tribunal
There is no life within the laws of man
I raise a hand and swear: I'm done rhyming!
To hell with man all flags
And golden bells chiming
To hell with man all flags
And golden bells chiming
There is no life within the laws of man
There is no life within the laws of man
There is no life within the laws of man
There is no life within the laws of man

Wonder & wander
Drift & roam
Up to the gate
Up to the gate
Say as you will
Do as you please
Up to the gate
Up to the gate
Leave your mark
Ignite the spark
Up to the gate
Up to the gate
Go where you will
And never ask
Up to the gate
Up to the gate
Sow your seeds & own the world
Gold, land, oxen & ass
Up to the gate
Up to the gate
Rob & plunder
Rant & rage
Until you reach the place
Where all dues in full are paid
Rob & plunder
Rant & rage
Until you reach the place
Where all dues in full are paid
At the gate
At the gate
At the gate.

Fare Thee Well
04:05
|
|||
When the end shows its face
And you finally know your place
And realize it wasn't all as bad
As you thought
Fare thee well, friend
Fare thee well
Now you have to let it all go
Produce a smile
Let that little boat row
You out to sea
Out to sea
Fare thee well, friend
Fare thee well
Marie, she will miss you
But time will let her heal
The boys will raise their glasses in your honor
Now and then
Fare thee well, friend
Fare thee well
Many came before
Many will follow
There's but one rule in love and death
Eventually, it'll take us all
Fare thee well, friend
Fare thee well
The rain begins to fall
As the horizon swallows you whole
At your favorite spot
We'll lay down a solitary flower
So fare thee well, friend
Fare thee well
Fare thee well.

Amara terra
03:58
|
|||
Sole alla valle e sole alla collina
Per le campagne non c'è più nessuno
Addio, addio, amore
Io vado via
Amara terra mia
Amara e bella
Cieli infiniti e volti come pietra
Mani incallite ormai senza speranza
Addio, addio, amore
Io vado via
Amara terra mia
Amara e bella
Fra gli uliveti è nata già la luna
Un bimbo piange e allatta un seno magro
Addio, addio, amore
Io vado via
Amara terra mia
Amara e bella
Addio, addio, amore
Io vado via
Amara terra mia
Amara e bella
Amara terra mia
Amara e bella

Wayfaring Stranger
05:52
|

I'm a poor wayfaring stranger
Well Traveling through this world above
There's no sickness, no toil or danger
In that bright world to where I go
I'm going there to see my father
And all my loved ones, when i come
I’m only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
I know dark clouds will hang 'round me
I know my way is rough and steep
Yet beauteous fields just arise before me
Where God's redeemed their vigils keep
I'm going there to see my mother
She said she'd meet me when I come
So i'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
I'll soon be free from every trial
This form should rest then if some
I'll drop this cross of self denial
And enter that home with God
I'm going home to see my savior
I'll going home no more to run
I'm just goin' over jordan
I'm just goin' over home

The Dead Brothers Switzerland
Legend has it that The Brothers recently gathered in a remote Swiss mountain village and fueled by wicked wine and strong
spirits, cut a disk that merges the worlds of Richard Wagner, Dashiell Hammet and Georges Brassens.
It will not take long for the analysts to enter the scene and ask:
Is it Jazz?
Is it Blues?
Is it Avantgarde folk?
Or is it simply Rock ‘n’ Roll?
The answer is: YES!
