NOTES:

I debated a bit about even posting this song… but it’s FAWM… so here goes.

The song is done as a single live take… and I don’t think I could get through it all the way in one shot again. Please forgive the ugly spots…

As to the song, all I can say: Cancer… if you’ve seen it, you’ll understand.

LYRICS

You’ve fought like Hercules
But the hydra has more heads
Each victory you seize
in this battlefield of beds

An uphill row to sow
an downward slope to slide
A hairs breadth from the edge
to cross the great divide

Close your eyes and sleep
in dream fields be reborn
await the coming change
and shed this skin you’ve worn

Cling like a static thread
a small puff to float away
A warrior to the end
who will fight another day

A monster stalks your eyes
you don’t know my lonely face
I can’t bear to say goodbye
But I know you’ve run your race

You’ve earned your respite
your victory is won
Dwell in the light
Walk with the Son
