"Sleeping Giants" is a song from our new album Coyote Stories, out this summer! pledgemusic.com/thecranewives

Sleeping Giants

High above the land
Spread my wings wide open
All I see is burnt
Where your love leads
Where my heart bleeds

We tried to fly
When the sky was on fire
Where do you lie, so low, below?

We had an empire
I call for you again
We played love like a song
A song so sweet
A cut so deep

Do you think of when..
We were young
With souls of steel
And forever ruled
Never knew what it meant to lose

We had an empire
I call for you again 
We played love like a song
A song so sweet
A cut so deep

Will time remember us
When all has turned to dust
My heart forgives you
Like a queen of fools

Empire

I made the track on fl studio and recorded my voice on my shitty laptop mic. When the cymbals come in, imagine big, consistent distorted down strums and stuff. I haven't decided how i want to end the song.

Who Will Save Your Soul

Empty bed and a long night 
The space is back again 
The morning sun is a welcome sight 
By its height it’s nearly ten 

And by the way that glare hit the pane 
It brought me right back to Spain 
And by the way your smell overcame me 
I swore I could see your face 

I will always long to hold you 
This feeling’s fate it’s taking over 
I don’t ever want you to come back – I’ll hurt you bad 
But this feeling’s fate it’s taking over 
And I can’t do a thing 
I can’t do a thing 

Thinking about our yesterday and I wish I stayed 
‘cause now the dusk rolls in the pain 
and the rain whispers your name 
But I haven’t changed 
So darling stay away 

I will always long to hold you 
This feeling’s fate it’s taking over 
I don’t ever want you to come back – I’ll hurt you bad 
But this feeling’s fate it’s taking over 

This feeling’s fate it’s taking over me 
Oh you’re taking over me 
Oh you’re taking over me 
I can’t let go of you 
You’re taking over me 
You’re in everything I see 
You’re taking over me 
You’re in everything 

And I will always long to hold you 
This feeling’s fate it’s taking over 
I don’t ever want you to come back – I’ll hurt you bad 
But this feeling’s fate it’s taking over 
And I can’t do a thing 
I can’t do a thing

Eurus EP out February 9th

Lyrics:
between the seams that line your living room,
a vine of ivy's pushing her way through
and as she creeps along, she sinks her roots
into the cracks, and pulls 'em back until the structure's coming loose
and the way the shadows on the wall are cast
look like a twisted apparition from the past
and all the memories come flooding fast
a wilderness you kinda miss, but were taught you ought to cut it back,
so you shut it out
you shout it down
until you're all white-knuckled
you got a lot to learn, if you'd settle down
let be what is, let be what isn't
it's a natural world in which we're living
and if you let it alone, it will surely grow
just leave it alone, child, and let it go
and when all your ziggurats have crumbled down
and every stone is thrown like seeds across the ground
a new Arcadia will come around
and multiply until the binds of death have been unwound
so don't you shut it out
don't you shout it down
and get your feathers ruffled
you got a lot to learn, if you'd just settle down
and let the river run its course
'cause see, the ground all around
it was always holy
leave the ruins where they fall
leave them all
and let the wild take over
