I wrote and recorded this home demo, yesterday. It's the current video screen link in my myspace music page, so click that to hear it:

And here are the lyrics:


What Our Seed Will Bring

See the beggars climb a mountain lined with dust,
their rags weighed down by stones, their hearts weighed down by trust.
How they climb, to view the rubies and the pearls
vowed by a half-blind king.

Hear each beggar blow a horn faint as a ghost
moaning in the sands where venturers are lost.
How they sound alone, like a nightbird when it swirls,
weak with a half-torn wing.

Taste the burning sky that stings the eyes
of all the sightless wretches as they flail.
Smell the slow decay, where each man dies
alive, along a sightless, lightless trail.

Touch their tattered hands, lead them down again,
down to common lands, by river, verge and plain.
How this river heals! How one’s view once more unfurls:
See what our seed can bring,
free from the king?
See what our seed can bring?
See everything.
See what our seed can bring.

I'm not able to hear your songs, but the lyrics are great! What type of seeds are they - wheat? If they are the seeds of a plant than the ending is more hopeful then if they are the "seeds" of man, which would predict doom, eh? I'm thinking it's more a plant seed as the river is positive.

Recently, I was thinking about that lighthouse ditty we created
