lyrics
Far beyond the timber the wolf with watchful eye
on the lamb upon the altar on the hand upon the knife
how cold, how slow the winter
how cruel that hunger binds the world,
not made for living, the boy born to die
The wildfire eternal, the vigil flame we keep
in it's warmth we gather in shelter in streets
so wrap your arms around him, don't waste your time
the world not made for living, the boy born to die
So lay your veil and flowers, bury your eyes
the world not made for living, the boy born to die

Mark Erelli breathes some new life into these tracks which is the idea, I suppose. On first glance, tracks like Against All Odds garner a "Huh?" until you hear it (and stop listening for the iconic drum).
Not a stinker in the bunch, and a crack band to boot (Royal City Band). Dave Polus
