Here’s a song my friends performed one afternoon last summer in a backyard. It was impromptu but I brought a mic and recorded them and it sounded quite good considering how last minute it was :):). This is a Thrice song, one of my favorites off the Alchemy series: Child of Dust.
Enjoy !
Lyrics:
Songwriters: Breckenridge, Eddie; Breckenridge, Riley; Kensrue, Dustin; Teranishi, Teppei
Dear prodigal you are my son and I
Supplied you not your spirit but your shape;
All Eden’s weath arrayed before your eyes
I fathomed that you wanted to escape.
And though I only ever gave you love,
Like every child you’ve chosen to rebel;
Uprooted flowers and filled the holes with blood;
Ask for not whom they toll the solemn bells.
But child of dust your mother now returns
For every seed must die before it grows;
And though above the world may toil and turn,
No prying spade will find you here below.
Now safe beneath their wisdom and their feet;
Here i will teach you truly how to sleep
