Three prayers for mother.

lyrics

Hands Around the Table

cast away the tragedy, and sorrow
that you carried in your arms
cast away the doubts, and thoughts that do you harm

and hold your hands around the table
be a single voice that sings
and brings
his blessing down upon your souls

cast away your bitterness, and anger
cast away your slavish love for gold
your bounty’s so much more than loaves, and fishes
you’ve come here to bring gentleness, and love
to every hand you hold
you hold around the table
hold your hands around the table
be a single voice that sings
and brings the fullness of his comfort down upon
your (weary) souls
and know with perfect faith
that you are more than able
to live within delight, and brotherhood
with your hands around the table

come take my hand
take my brother’s hand
take my sister’s hand
take my mother’s hand
take my father’s hand
and hold our hands around the table

Special Education vol. 1
by CURRICULUM VITAE

Vocals: haunted, and subversive. Guitars: splintered shrieks. Drum machine: grim, unrelenting nausea. Visceral noise, with a hook that gets stuck in in your throat. Just try spitting them out. Stranger Killings
