Mitchell Snow (the Lords of Kobol) - reflecting back on it now, I deeply regret my involvement in the construction of the bridge 08:30
lyrics

I Bridge, it spans the river River, it flows by Far below the Bridge That rips across the sky Someone up there leaning From the bridge, so fine and tall Some things cross may cross the River And other things must fall CH “I hear you Speak to me Sweet Sky” “We’ll teach their Poor hearts To fly” Bridge I beg, Lord, your forgiveness I knew not what I’d done I will build no more bridges I swear Nor shall I enter in-to bar-gains Not with Riv-ers Who may steal me in their run II Each night I close my eyes Andremember well the day I was drawn into by the River And was swallowed fast away A whisper gentle through me Promises were made To loose me from the river A toll of souls in trade CH “I hear you Speak to me Sweet Sky” “We’ll teach their Poor hearts To fly” Bridge II (I thought you said you wouldn’t make anymore of these?) Dreaming River Call to me Sleeping Sleeping River Call to me Dreaming Dreaming River Call to me Sleeping Sleeping River Call to me Dreaming III Bridge traverse the yawning As my hands intend it do In service to that River And the oath it bound me to I tell you lies a River Carving somewhere though a ridge The Sky helps quench the hunger But, ’tis I who built the bridge CH “Love, would it Please thee To fly?” “Soothe them Apease me Sweet Sky”

lyrics

I I’s brought up here There’s no way out Ya gotta fight through the famine, the poverty, the draught Ya gotta walk that line Keep straight ahead Watch your step or you’ll wind up dead I married too young That’s what I did I got a big, fat wife, got an ugly kid Them Red Mountain mornings Make ya hard and mean Cornbread yellow Tobacco barn green II I needed me a job So I felt no guilt Prying nails up-out the coffins that the murderers built They needin’ railway iron Take and melt them down Them ten-pennies payin’ 27 cents a pound I married too young That’s what I did I got a big, fat wife, got an ugly kid I gotta keep her fed Keep him clean Cornbread yellow Tobacco barn green III Don’t ya come to Red Mountain Listen what I what I say If you need to pass through, you better find another way Stay off of Red Mountain Ain’t nothing for you here The air ain’t pure the water ain’t clear I married too young That’s what I did I got a big, fat wife, got an ugly kid I got Mason jar My nicotine My cornbread yellow Tobacco barn green

I Go Go ahead And judge me I’ve heard What they say I know You could never, ever, ever Love me Just Turn and Walk away Go II INST III Go On And leave me I know that I’m No good Oh dar - ling Believe me I’d take it all back If I could (But I can’t) So go IV I admit to all that’s been accused Every single word is true I’m down amongst the lowest Of the low But, I did just what I had to do To survive each day And make it through And now you can Defend me Or condem me And Go

lyrics

I Walk to your house each nightly Mouth glass and fog your window Write my initials lightly Sometime you’ll see them then know I just want to hold your hand And eat all your delicious secrets I just want to hold your hand And eat all your delicious secrets II I leave you all these trinkets Like they do on the tv To tell you I adore you Maybe you too adore me I just want to hold your hand And eat all your delicious secrets I just want to hold your hand And eat all your delicious secrets III Don't you Want to tell me What I Want to know? Don't you Want to Tell me What I Need to know?

eye 03:33
lyrics

I It’s the breath that you take As you’re falling asleep Its the sound that you make As your body grows weak It’s the mud and the bricks And the blood and sticks In the eye of the storm Of the fly in the swarm It’s the light in the sky You mistake for the Sun It’s a car passing by It’s your very last one Hold the cup to your lip And you sup and you sip Grab hold of the rail Is there gold in the well? All alone now One day our troubles will pass Pass away

Mitchell Snow (the Lords of Kobol) - Shame On, Old Apple! 02:28
lyrics
buy track
I SHAME ON OLD APPLE! I am lost Then I am found I’m changing without reason Hunkered down In Lonely town All through the rainy season Muddy mallet Crack the clay I dream a bird and boar With every single Word I say They tell me it means war II I am now As I was then I speak the tongue of strangers Curtained in Ten pounds of skin Collecting up the dangers Muddy mallet Crack the clay I dream a distant shore And every time Blink or breathe They tell me it means war III I am, I am Then I am gone Let’s speak of the unspoken Shelter stone Carved in bone Break bread with the unbroken Muddy mallet Crack the clay I dream until I’m sore With every Staggered step I take I tell you this means war

You better Run 02:12
lyrics

You better run my Dear My Love, my Darling one You better run Away from me I Striking stone Freezing rain, night falling Lock them chains Swallow down the key Spare not one As the moon comes calling You better run Away from me You better run my Dear My Love, my Darling one You better run Away from me II Cover well these bones In cold black water From the deepest trench Of the darkest sea And spare not one Son nor daughter You better run Away from me You better run my Dear My Love, my Darling one You better run Away from me Run on Be gone From here

Mitchell Snow (the Lords of Kobol) - Runonasaence the Secret Eater— Part II: the Breath of Azazel 03:51
lyrics
buy track
I On the edge of the Known Past the bright Fields of Flame In the Lost Halls of Stone There’s a curse of a name Inscribed on the yoke Beamed to seal tight the room That if clearly spoke Will release from his tomb The breath of Azazel II If the Seven Black Teeth Are returned to the Cup And it is placed in the Wreath Before the sun can come up Then from the high twisting spires To the sick, drooping trees Through the whispers of liars We will spread the disease III To devour and to swarm To tower and to storm To acquire and to steal To fire and to kill To corrode and consume To erode and to doom To implode and to bloom To release from his tomb The breath of Azazel

M. Snow - Christ was Born on Christmas Day 04:13
lyrics

I I thought about it all The time I got so sick, I lost my Mind if I step outside for a Smoke gets in your Eyes rolled as I Spoke within a wheel Inside a Will you ever tell me how you feel Around In the dark We Pray for Christ was born on Christmas Day II I am afraid of what will Come and Go with me My only love Is all you need to Understand your Man in me, Myself, and I just can’t be satisfied Without you By my side-by-side By the way, Christ was born on Christmas Day III I feel as if I’m in a play Nice, or I take it all Away there in a manger Jesus Lay upon my big brass bed of Hey (Hay?), I’d really like it if you’d Stay there Was a star to guide His sleigh Bells ring And children sing and Say, Christ was born on Christmas Day

about

A collection of stuff that doesn't really fit anywhere else in my catalog and some of the stranger music I have made.

The songs get weirder as you go.

The last two are probably my favourites.

You might dig it.

You might not dig it.

These were all written and recorded quickly and sloppily.

This is not a hifi experience, nor is it intended to be. I recorded all this stuff by myself and I barely know how to cut half this gear on. So, let's keep those expectations low!
