lyrics

You built us a house
On a mountain and it won’t
Budge, overlooking a
River, clear and cool
You ask for nothing
Yet I still won’t pack to move

The King of the Earth
Stacked the logs, for the
Serfs. A righteous flame
Fueled by shame
He burned his own flesh
For a new Kingdom’s sake

It was me at hiding in those bushes
In the Garden of Eden
It was me at the base of Sinai
Kissing that Golden Calf
It should have been me going up
That mountain with Abraham,
But instead it was you
It should have been me going up
That mountain at Calvary
But you’re the one with the wounds

We stand at the edge
Of a promise like Pisgah’s
Gate, but our
Death does not
Await, sleep we
Won’t, life is our estate

The Pharaoh Sisters Winston Salem, North Carolina

Seated in the foothills of Appalachia, we are related to no one, are beneficiaries of no tradition, and no one asked us to carry on anything. Aloof and uninvited, we press on.
