I am frozen to the core.
My words are like vapors,
Just cold smoke from my mouth.
No one's fault but mine.
Ice weighs down my power lines.
My mind flickers like a light, so long neglected.
Lord, bring spring to this winter heart,
Sprout fruit on my limbs, grant me a fresh start.
Oh, I'm a slave to so many things,
I am covered in ice, a lifeless tree.
You're the river flowing strong
Beneath the icy path that stands
Beside my cold roots,
But I can't break through.
Nothing good sown, no good reaped.
I have eaten winter, and it lives within me.
Lord, bring spring to this winter heart,
Sprout fruit on my limbs, grant me a fresh start.
Oh, I'm a slave to so many things,
I am covered in ice, a lifeless tree.
Consuming Fire, catch my heart,
Kill the death in me.
Burn away all the sin and the lethargy.
Let my heart blaze like the summer sun.
Let it sing praise to the Three-in-One.
May You melt all our winter hearts.
May they burn wild as the brightest stars.
May Your fire spread as we sing
And warm this city to eternal spring.
Lord, bring spring to this winter heart,
Sprout fruit on my limbs, grant me a fresh start.
Oh, I'm a slave to so many things,
I'm just like ice.

This album is just beautiful and stirring. We've known Evan (Holy Fiction's lead singer/guitarist) for years and are huge fans of his previous band, Ethan Durelle. Check this album out! Scales of Motion
John is an old, old friend of ours and, for our money, one of the most incredible songwriters out there. "Earthbound Blues" is his best yet, but you really can't go wrong with any album of his. Scales of Motion
