lyrics

And if you’re waiting for a friend to come and
lead you on and onward to a sheltered sky
the pieces falling down

seem to obscure the circling clouds that
blindly threaten rain and once again you run the empty hours into the ground
To take the memory back remember faces
from your lonely past and how it hurt to find
your heart would always break...

I will hold my breath ‘till I can bring you home....my promise to the moon
I will count the hours ‘till I am sure I know, .you’ll be here with me soon

If patience really was a virtue tell me
what you think you would do
as the witching hour pulls light out of the sky
And would a higher purpose satisfy the
thinking and the words you thought you once
relied on leave you in the rain
The thunderstorm receding
leaves you cold, alone, and freezing
looking for an answer to the question that remains

I will hold my breath ‘till I can bring you home....my promise to the moon
I will count the hours ‘till I am sure I know. .you’ll be here with me soon

So if it seems this story leads you on and
on to cross the riverbed of tarnished
dreams and chances you have known
And please remember what your Vincent once
said, “We must sometimes walk amongst
our enemies unarmed and stand alone.”

I will hold my breath ‘till I can bring you home....my promise to the moon
I will count the hours ‘till I am sure I know. .you’ll be here with me soon

Mutiny in Jonestown Washington

Influenced by classic 70's progressive rock bands like King Crimson, Van Der Graaf Generator & Genesis - along with late 60's psychedelia from The Beatles, Procol Harum & Pink Floyd (with a little 70's Black Sabbath thrown in for good measure), Mutiny in Jonestown has always sought to take these influences and synthesize them into something new.

The band has released 42 albums since 1987. ... more
