ANTHONY RUPTAK

Lyrics

In strands of juniper
among the cholla and the brittle prickly-pear
beneath a cotton sky
held in halos 'round the sun

are we suspended in
a state of chronic fear of death and disbelief
the weight of helplessness
the solemn process of apocalyptic grief

i wanna dissaapear
into the red clay earth with you
into the winding arroyo
into Orion's bending bow

swing wide o gates of fire
to claim the breath of every lovely living thing
and should we all expire
let only echoes of our love be lingering

we donned our Silverheels
to dance in insignificance and gratitude
over the spinning wheel
the evidence to galvanize that simple truth

i wanna disappear
into the red clay earth with you
into the winding arroyo
into Orion's bending bow

one more generation's song
laid to rest or soldiered on
washed into the blue beyond
floral carbon blooms
floral carbon blooms
floral carbon blooms

i wanna disappear
into the red clay earth with you
into the winding arroyo
into Orion's bending bow
into your heart
New Mexico
