I wrote this song after visiting the Hambacher Forest for the first time.
lyrics
Do you wanna die on this cross?
Do you wanna die on this cross?
Do you wanna die on this cross, nailed to the wood like a relic, like a martyr from the past?
Wandering around like a lost soul, bleedin' from your heartbeat
Do you wanna die on this cross, nailed to the wood like a relic, like a martyr from the past? Wandering around like a lost soul, bleedin' from your heartbeat, readin' 'bout a drug cheat, wondering...is there anything left to mourn?
Sittin' in their golden towers
Sittin' in their golden towers
Sittin' in their golden towers, lookin' at the Earth, at the hole, at the organs in the dirt
'Til the end of time they will tell you, it's in the name of science
Sittin' in their golden towers, lookin' at the Earth, at the hole, at the organs in the dirt, 'til the end of time they will tell you, it's in the name of science, ordinant defiance, stuttering...j just another thing to mourn
Drivin' down another highway, listenin' to the world, to the roar, to the man with all the facts
Oh what kind of world do we live in
Conscience hypocritic
Movement paralytic
Lawyers parasitic
Consequence horrific
Needlessly acidic

Very glad they took the opportunity to jam and record together. They captured moments of concentrated listening and playing. Also like the airiness and spaciousness of the recording. freejazzy
