lyrics

What then is this that flesh and soul
Once warring now seek peace?
What then is this that bloodied wolves
Find pasture with the sheep?

Maybe it's alchemy, redeemed
Or maybe it's better than we dreamed
Maybe the stone's not what we seek
Maybe this Christ is who we need

We searched the depths of the oldest tomes
And came away distressed
"In sterquiliniis invenitur"
We didn't know it yet

Maybe it's alchemy, redeemed
Or maybe it's better than we dreamed
Maybe the stone's not what we seek
Maybe this Christ is who we need

The mud brought sight to tired eyes
We reached the darkest grove
The steps were ours, the grace was Christ's
He called us back to home

Maybe it's alchemy, redeemed
Or maybe it's better than we dreamed
Maybe the stone's not what we seek
Maybe this Christ is who we need

Oh, I can feel it in my bones
Oh, he's right here in all these tomes
The one we're searching for
The Logos, known by name

I searched through maps and dusty tomes
You took my head and held me close
Now I know what I'd never known
By grace so undeserved

I was a lost boy on my own
You were the father that led me home
This freedom's all I want to know
By grace, so undeserved

Moonflower
by Graveyard Club

Valens' final chorus is as good as music gets, and I'm jealous that I didn't write it. Caleb Caldwell

Emotional Creature
by Beach Bunny

'Scream' makes my heart ache and reminds me why I wanted to start making music in the first place. The chorus hurts in a beautiful way. Caleb Caldwell
