about

My payment in full is my years, and my wage is the debt of my age.
When I was a child, I spoke as a child, played like a child, and behaved like a child. Now I am a man, childish ways are behind me, yet I am still very much "child like". That is, in the eyes of the Maker.

Mastered by Bruce Neher at Disc & Dat

lyrics

I'm crossing the threshold, I'm turning the page
My payment in full is my years, and my wage is the debt of my age
With one hand on the boiler, and one eye on the door
It's been locked up for centuries, but now it is unbolted, once more

The Kinsman is coming, redeeming his time
He bought every field with a flower and a treasure
He spent his last dime
All the roots of the old trees, they're coming up dry
Getting ready to pack up and move out to a country
In the fertile sky

So here I am stoking the fires of my soul
With the wood of the wind bitten meadow, and the black
Burning blue heart of coal

Sacrificial love is by far the greatest gift among men. ... more
