"Black Woods, White Beach"






You get our live e.p. here:  http://afterlifeparade.bandcamp.com/


We've decided that periodically we're going to release the lyrics of each song on Rebirth right here as a teaser for what is to come starting with "Black Woods, White Beach" and then working back from track one on through.  We may even give you a little tidbit about the inspiration for each song.


Let it begin...



"Black Woods, White Beach"

Pain, past, quick sand
Eyes meet your hand
Never want to go back
Never want to go
Never want to

Black woods, white beach
Ship, mast, come sail east

Never want to go back
Never want to go
Never want to
Oh, Oh, Oh
Never have to go back
Never have to go 
Never have to

Oh, Oh, Oh


**Although lyrically cryptic, this song is an abstract story about healing.  I took a lot of the imagery from a favorite short story, "The Most Dangerous Game," and sort of put a different spin on it to communicate what it is like to get "stranded" in the past, to be rescued, and then to be given an invitation to a better or new future (the east).  I feel blessed more times than I can count, to have found myself in a dark place, to be set free by the truth, and then to sail away never to go back to that black wood.--Quinn
