lyrics

The mountain stands alone upon a blade of fire before the sun.
Drawn towards a point of light, all of my cold rage entwined.
You will come to know me.

With every sin you crawl, with each passing breath.
Taste the crimson drops upon this blade.
You will come to know me.

The line between the friend and foe cannot be seen until you fall.
The blind can see the bison knows.
You bend the truth to suit your stall.
You will come to know me.

Lord cast your eyes on me, you know this to be false.
I’ll slice the ocean whole, give me everything.
You will come to know.
You will come to know.
You will come to know me.

When the body fails, God will gather me.
When the mind dissolves, God will inspire me.
When the rivers dry, God will forgive me.
When the heavens glow, God will provide me.

Bring me the Earth, the rivers and the moon.
Heaven and hell, I’ll strike them all in two.
Eternal, when the sky comes down.
Eternal, come back stronger.
Deliver me from ego, lust and power and sight.
The curtain lies open and only God remains.

When the body fails, God will gather me.
When the mind dissolves, God will inspire me.
When the rivers dry, God will forgive me.
When the heavens glow, God will provide me.

The water burns, the tide awake.
The crashing of the waves again.
Diamond fire upon the edge, the mountain grows again and again.

A songbird crashes from the sky.
An endless sleep behind your mind.
My master shades his eyes.
A love so true, to meet my own.
I placed in you my soul.
Before I’m through the mountain calls.
My plea to you, my all.
The songbird dies in my arms.
What have I done?

I’ve seen the edge so raise your hands.
I’ve seen the edge so raise your hands.
Power flow from me to you.
Power flow from me to you.

And I will lead you all to the brink of time.

A love so true for you.
Lord cast your eyes on me, you know this to be false.
I’ll slice the ocean whole, give me everything.

Howling Giant image

Howling Giant Nashville, Tennessee

Despite Nashville’s reputation for assembly-line pop country, the town called Music City is a place of deep history, where brilliant songwriters and virtuoso session players keep dozens of musical legacies burning bright. Nashville’s preeminent fuzz-psych power trio Howling Giant live in the pocket of that lineage, and on their eagerly awaited second full-length, Glass Future. ... more
