lyrics

Get a bucket, grab a pan.
To catch the blood of this sacrificial lamb
Gut me open, find an empty cavity
Gutbucket's got what I can't keep inside of me
Staring at me as I draw in my last breath,
The sun casts a shadow over the angel of death

Cigarette burning right up to his lips
Knife is glistening, wipes the blood off on his hips.
Grandpa's laughing as he cuts the chicken's neck.
Throws it at me with a raspy smoker's laugh
My heart slips out of my hand and its pulsing on the ground.
Somebody get a bucket the flies are buzzing, circling round.

Hail stings my face, frogs are falling from the sky
Blood down the doors, tears are falling from my eyes
Thick as midnight, darker than the deepest sea
Got a vision of river, turns to blood in front of me
The tablets crumble, words are etched upon our hearts
Mother, father, son and daughter, brother, sisters torn apart

I can see the vultures, condemned to die alone
High upon a hillside made of skulls and human bone.
Children play, look up when they hear cries
Can't erase their vision, can't wash it from their eyes
Only God can help us in our final hour of need
A sacrifice, a condemnation, a bitter pill, a hateful deed.

The Portland Press Herald says, “Whale Songs for Beginners is a quirky, little record. As it happens, it’s also a good record, with a heartfelt earnestness that belies its DIY aesthetic.” Take a listen! ... more
