orn into a future so bright
Surrounded by a narrow view of new life
Shielded from the thought of true strife
Every tithe a tantamount confession
That what I’m buying is divine permission
To live the life that consumes my vision
Every single tiny morsel down the wretched hatch
What will we say when we would not offer
The very things that fed us for slaughter
We knew the way but could not be bothered
I know your book and I know your Jesus
But he’s no king he’s an inconvenience
How can you mean that he came to free us
Every single tiny morsel down the wretched hatch
Every hand a rigid fist the venom of the asp
Every soul that’s bent on evil
Every saint that’s passed
We cannot mend our very breath until we breathe our last

Does anybody even recognize common grace
The simplest of things are the hardest to taste
If seeing is believing then your faith cannot be real
How can you comprehend what is carefully concealed
A sincere friend
A child’s hand
A will to mend
I’ll never understand
Does anybody even recognize depravity
The simplest offenses multiply in gravity
If wisdom comes with age then death cannot be real
How can you comprehend what is cleverly concealed
A rush to rend
A sleight of hand
A lifespan’s end
I’ll never understand

You know just what to say
To maintain your disguise
And heap onto that veil lies to cover lies
Do you love saving face
Religious facade
Do you love your beliefs more than you love your god
Trapped inside the image of a life
When life indeed exists outside it
Seek that land
Take hold
Understand your role
I’ve all but given up
Searching for the key
To pry open every lock and set us captives free
When we love our cells
We've made them into home
And the pathway out is but a catacomb
Seek that land
Take hold
Understand your role
Seek that land
Take hold

Hill and Vale Ames, Iowa
As hills and valleys show dynamics in nature, so are the sincere existentialist themes of Hill + Vale delivered thru music best summed up by Tolkien: “one was…wide and beautiful, but slow and blended with an immeasurable sorrow, from which its beauty chiefly came. The other…essayed to drown the other music by the violence of its voice, but…taken by the other and woven into its own solemn pattern.” ... more
