9. The Moss Beneath The Snow

The final snow has fallen
The north wind fell silent
Rushing waters awaken
Yet the woods are stood
Wandering ghost
In the valleys
On the verge speckled hills
And the north awakens from winter's chill
How many more glorious winters will we survive?
There may only be a few
Perhaps we'll never know
But the answer will haunt us
So ask the moss beneath the snow
Perhaps we'll never know
But the answer will haunt us
So ask the moss beneath the snow

15. Echoes In The Snow

16. The Itch

So you're gonna' fix our problems
Lining your old friends pockets
For new jobs and a stronger economy
Bring back American jobs
From distant foreign shores
When for years you sent them all overseas
Adopt a conservative agenda
Attack your predecessors
With rhetoric as blood as it can be
Issue license to anyone
For acting like an asshole
Credence to every bigot in this country
Your arguments are flimsy, logic paper thin
Exactly like your skin seems to be
Closing off the borders
Rapid fire executive orders
Implement your immigration policy
It's time to take responsibility
Instead of passing blame
For the heritage of shit that we pass on
Take a deep look in the mirror
Stop trying to make fine art
From the lines in the sand that we've drawn
Make things crystal clear
I certainly don't blame you
And I don't give a damn
Who lives in that house
You are just a symptom of an inherited disease
You can't always blame the itch on the louse

17. At The Foot Of The Mountain

So proud and tall, but endure the days
Back at you as they see
And at times, you grant my request
Just before the rain
Ambivalent, spiked, of stone

And as the darkness falls
You're all dressed in distant scars
And I will sleep in your arms
Distant hills lay silent

How in these autumn days
You're clothed in rain clouds,
For weeks
And I'll grow to resent you
Just as the night falls,
And I'm reminded

That the cold wind would blow right through me
If it weren't for you
If it weren't for you
That the cold wind would blow right through me
If it weren't for you if it weren't for you

And as the darkness falls
You're all dressed in distant scars
And I will sleep in your arms
Distant hills lay silent

18. The Devil Walked The Woods

The devil walked the woods this morning
Drifting through the mist
Pleased with his deeds
He sighed a serpents hiss
The barren grounds and snowless winters brought him a wry smile
Decayed remains of long dead spruce were strewn about piles
He strode aside the oil-sheen dressed woodland lake shores
The songless birds lay rotten
Silent for ever more
The level fields of decaying stumps
He smiled at his work
And when he'd gloated long enough
He made a left hand-turn
To head for home and rest his bones
By fires gentle light
And dream of wastelands putrescent
Destroyed by his sight
He cursed the evening loon calls that rose him from his sleep
And the joyous side of autumn meek
He could never seek
He stumbled up the cobble stones to his cabin door
When inside kicked off his boots all muddied on the floor
Passed the mirror in the hall
A familiar sight to see
A face he'd known for oh so long
And the reflection it was me
