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 04:51
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.

Noboby Home 06:17
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 07:59
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.
