Musicbrainz DBI was lost in the lakes
And the shapes that your body makes
That your body makes, that your body makes
That your body makes
And the mountains said I could find you here
They whispered the snow and the leaves in my ear
I traced my finger along your trails
Your body was the map, I was lost in it
Floating over your rocky spine
The glaciers made you, and now you're mine
Floating over your rocky spine
The glaciers made you, and now you're mine
I was moving 'cross your frozen veneer
The sky was dark but you were clear
Could you feel my footsteps
And would you shatter, would you shatter, would you
And with your soft fingers between my claws
Like purity against resolve
I could tell, then and there, we were formed from the clay
And came from the rocks for the earth to display
They told me to be careful up there
Where the wind blows a venomous rage through your hair
They told me to be careful up there
Where the wind rages through your hair

| Jennif (San Francisco) | Posted: Jul 28, 2012 - 17:41 This is my current favorite RP-prompted download. |
| dew34 (Wisconsin-quite woodsy) | Posted: Jul 28, 2012 - 17:39 Found a free download at Amazon-this is another example of a truly great new band and gives hope for the future of music in all it's forms. |

| ziakut (Right Here) | Posted: Jun 21, 2012 - 09:40 This is magnificent, mate! |

| BCarn | Posted: Oct 22, 2011 - 17:27 Regardless of the lyrics "Frozen veneer" (metaphor or not...doesn't matter really) but there's really nothing wrong with that since there are much worse lyrics out there. Unless we post our own lyrics or poetry we mustn't criticize! Anyway, this band is fantastic. Saw them recently. |

Accessible only by boat, it is mostly a reclaimed wilderness in which moose and gray wolves roam freely. No worries—the wolves avoid humans like the plague. Not so the moose. When you hear them coming—it's like thunder—you make sure you can get out of the way. Loons. Bald eagles. Cormorants. Another definition of Paradise. It's on my "bucket list". |
