powerful lyric. It's better i think to have a bare bones type of arrangement like this, puts concentration on the words.

Anton, i love this song. Everything about it.  That abstract guitar bit that hits around 1:20 is genius

J'ai erré dans des escaliers sombres
En poussant devant moi le soleil noir de mon ombre
J'ai hurlé avec le vent et fait tinté mes chaînes
Et mon âme pâle a pleuré sans fin sa peine
Like a ghost in a scottish castle...

Knocking on heavens door

Mama, take this badge off of me
I can't use it anymore
It's gettin' dark, too dark to see
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Mama, put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore
That long black cloud is comin' down
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Known But Unspoken
by Anton Etch 2022

Was she right when she said...
"Some things you don't wanna know..." ?                   
they're known but unspoken                                                  
by those who are broken
and further along down the road

No need to follow the news    
there's no truth in any of it all...
When a new book is written
and everyone's smitten
best go read somethin' old

You can plug up your ears with these words                              
as the spring turns to fall
the past reaches over
and points to the future
the present isn't here at all

---  

When the centre can't hold 
and the honest are forced to  fold 
when fools are rewarded
 and the wise ignored
carrying on seems absurd  

It's harder to hear this aloud
from someone you know, who is close
It's easier said
by those who are dead
than someone alive in your world

Was she right when she said...
"Some things you don't wanna know..." ?                       
they're known but unspoken                                                   
by those who are broken
and further along down the road

Known But Unspoken

In a Song That Won't Fade
Music and Lyrics by Mike Krath

Only a few came to his funeral,
But I stood outside in the rain,
I had received word too late,
In a hospital far away,
I didn’t care to see the sight,
So I took my time that day,
You see I didn’t have much love,
And didn’t wish to stay,
But I still went through the motions,
To show how much I cared.
His son carried his ashes
To his grave
While his mother cried dishonor
Had come to the family name. 
And when the preacher got up to speak,
Christ was never proclaimed,
Not then, not there,
Not in that time of shame.

If I had reached out,
Would it have made a difference,
Would it have stopped the shame,
If I had not kept my love a noun,
But a verb to slice my hate away,
Would I still have been his judge,
And not shown mercy to make his day,
To renew his hope to be a father and husband,
And not let his life slip away,
Can I ever forgive myself for not being there with him,
Even in his last days, 
When he was reaching out,
But I was hiding in my blame.
And now I am stuck
In a song that won't fade.

And I don't want to stay.
