about

The title, “Blood From A Stone” has been in my mind since November of 2013. At the time, I hadn't even finished “Threadbare Heart”. I had no idea what it could refer to in terms of content or concept as a whole, but I had glimpses in my mind of what I'd expect this album to be in terms of artistry and acheivement. This song was written at The Preacher's Cottage there in Dexter, Kansas in about 20 minutes, and recorded in the same half hour. The theme is pretty evident, with the struggle of flesh and spirit.

lyrics

Deep in the heart of an ancient dream, your soul is stripped from the bone
That mob of flesh with their torches lit, descend upon the throne
A firebrand so bloodthirsty, traipsing over the coals
How can you knock on the door of hell, and then take a holy stroll

Fighting and raging beneath your breath
For a prize hidden deep below
You teeter on the path of love and death
Finally to draw blood from a stone

A man you knew from an age ago, is dead and laid to rest
Yet on your pillow you still hear him, wail and beat on his breast
Horrible his heady gaze inside your cavern heart
A Manxim Foe with a grip of woe, he lurks in every part
