[Harper & Logan:]
It's a star-soaked ladder,
Two beating hearts.
It's a dagger rising in the dark.
I've been watching ships go under.
Cold fingers drag the captain down.
Transfixed by violent thunder.
The hand of God can't save them now.
It's a blood-stained letter.
It's a siren's song.
It's a love that shines before it's gone.
I was walking the river facing
the water treatment derelict,
like a man on death's watch pacing,
searching for signs of passing ships.
[Daniel:]
Feeding through one lifespan to hold your suffering.
Swoon only to succumb to fearing.
I know not what lies ahead within the dark of night.
Signals lying distant among an endless horizon.
Kindling our lonely fires, we nurture our frozen dreams.
I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately. spaceman2250
