KEEP YOUR HEAD
Open the Door, open the Way, open the Gate
I’m saying the words just right, I hope it takes
Well, I will wait…
to take you with me to the good life ahead
I’m painting you right into my book of the dead.
We all want a place in the sun in the Western Lands
I’m painting a picture in hopes that you’d understand.
not all of us can
My heart won’t weigh heavy, it won’t weigh light
on that day those scales will balance right.
Walk where I walk, step where I step, keep your head
…a good life waiting here in my book of the dead.

HERE WITH THE HAWK
The posts that hold the sky bend and sway like reeds in the wind,
A cold silver cry…to bring it home again.
The road you take home cracks and falls away,
while the woodbine climb, while time honors with decay
Here at the top of the world, you’re starving and thin.
A cold silver tear…to bring it home again.
Alone with the lost and listless talking,
here with the hawk that hunts walking.
To bring it on home…
To bring it on home…
To bring it on home…
To bring it on home…

I’M SO GLAD
I have a dream… all people left alone
I believe in freedom of home.
Up off your knees, do as you please
On your own.
I’m so glad they don’t know what’s on my mind.
Towers will sway, river’s on the rise
stars swing swift through fiery sky
People call out, “no one understands”
You’ll see the whites of their eyes
I’m so glad they don’t know what’s on my mind.
Men mimic the tide, rising on the shore
reaching out, falling back, wanting more
Glory to the lord they say, glory to the One
They want to tell you what life’s for.
I’m so glad they don’t know what life is for.

NOBODY HOME
Here in this house, a silence so deep
All the more quiet when the floorboards creak
No one to move this fine settled peace
Nobody to speak
Sunlight shines in, I crack up within
Dance ‘round in my bones
to the hollow sound of Nothing now
and Nobody home
Here in this house, the dust lies so thick
All the more quiet when the clock don’t tick
Nothing to free, that’s freedom you see
from attic to cellar, doors have been closed
when they open Nobody knows.
Sunlight shines in, I crack up again
Dance ‘round in my bones
to the hollow sound of Nothing now
and Nobody home
The crumbling peace
the peaceful sleep
the dust filled dream
the mystery
the empty room
the joyful heart
Here in this house
falling apart

THIS SHAKY HAND IS NOT MINE
Gods cluster round like flies
the dying glow, the firelight
Staring out on the flood plain,
the water’s still, I feel the same
Still doing well, I feel fine
This shaky hand is not mine
With shadows taller than trees
Gods cluster round on bended knee
I’m severing what ties did bind
This shaky hand is not mine

THE LIGHT
I love you more each and every time we meet
Without the parting I do know, Life could never be so sweet
I love you more each and every time we meet
Without the parting I do know, Life could never be so sweet
The air so still, hangs heavy with the heat
We wait for the breeze, the shimmering leaves cast an awe filled ligh

UNSETTLED DUST
There is a shadow on the air waves
some sort of black on the sun’s rays
It’s hard to see through… well we do
With a love brighter than noon,
dwelling in cities bound for ruin
With dust at the door… to push through.
The dust settles on all that don't move
Lost to sea, nowhere to land
some sort of fog on the heart of Man
It’s hard to see through…but we do
We see through

Dead Meadow Los Angeles, California
Dead Meadow formed in 1998 in Washington DC, coming together to fuse their love of Led Zeppelin and Sabbath style riffs with the local punk and DIY aesthetic of their hometown. They became early pioneers of what would become the modern psychedelic rock scene and over the years have created a niche that only they can fill. ... more
