about

Written by Matt LeFevers. Copyright 2013.

Lines referenced from Deuteronomy (ch. 6 verses 4-9).

lyrics

Grab a handful of this dust. Let it sift between your fingers before the hollow casket thump, before you open and release it. There are reasons for these rituals: so we remember what we've lost. I scrawled the words onto the door frames but by morning they were gone.

And we are good men as men are reckoned, but as angels we fall far short of the mark. If it is ours to climb to heaven then in the cellar we will sleep and dream of stars.

Grab a handful of this dust, let it sift between your fingers. There is kinship with this earth... do you feel it, son of Adam? Though we walk 'til we are weary, then drag ourselves along the road, we still cannot outrun this knowledge that to the ground we will return.
