through five tracks great area weaves a diary of intimacy, as much with the grey beauty of the city as with any human, time

great area - hiding things

standing in a clearing
in a jet-black mist
can't explain to her the obstruction

for years it was coming,
coming in dreams
encircled in the yawn

satisfied now

black mist

the splintered double-helix
we forged it
like we finally broke the cycle

standing on a runway
(cumulonimbi, 3 miles high)
gasoline
endless pitcher, stout as hell
(can't remember when i last wrote "supercell")

satisfied now

(it was coming in dreams to me, into a walk-in or a Y)
(standing in a gasoline-puddle sunset, i can be so diffuse)

supercell (stripped back mix)

You Never End

What If You Didn't Need A Reason (feat. James K)

Anything But Sopo

Just Married

It's Messy Coping

Montalvo

Day You Told Me

Katz (Single Verison)

I've had this album in the works and now that it's finally finished, I am so happy because I had to remove some old songs that I used to like but I replaced them with songs that I love more than the others!

Steel and Fire

A dangerous gamble where truth hides in darkness.

Game of Shadows

Nehemiah 4:17–20, Ezekiel 33:7

Here the focus turns outward again — the community of faith standing together like Nehemiah’s builders: one hand on the trowel, one on the sword. This track has a hammer-and-anvil rhythm, reminding us that vigilance and unity guard what God is building.

LYRICS

Intro

Hammers strike in the midnight air,
Stone by stone, the walls repair.
Trumpets waiting, swords in hand,
A holy city, a watchman’s stand.

Verse

Builders labor, burdened still,
Chisel and blade, a steadfast will.
Eyes on the night, hands to the task,
Guarding the breach, the shadows mass.

Pre-Chorus

Lift up your voice, sound the alarm,
The Lord will fight with His mighty arm.

Chorus

Watchmen on the walls arise,
Standing guard with burning eyes.
Sword and stone, we will not fall,
The Lord is with us — above it all.

Verse

Trumpets cry when the night draws near,
Every brother and sister hear.
From the breach to the furthest gate,
We fight as one, our God is great.

Pre-Chorus

Stand in the gap, call through the flame,
The wall is sealed in His holy name.

Chorus

Watchmen on the walls arise,
Standing guard with burning eyes.
Sword and stone, we will not fall,
The Lord is with us — above it all.

Bridge

“I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel,
So hear the word and give them warning for Me.”

Build the wall! Guard the gate!
Stand your ground — the Lord is great!

Chorus

Watchmen on the walls arise,
Voices lifted to the skies.
Sword and stone, we will not fall,
The Lord is with us — above it all.

Outro

Stone by stone the city stands,
Sealed and guarded by holy hands.
Watchmen keep their endless call,
Till the day no night will fall.
