An epic blues rock ballad about trying to quiet the busy world and hear God through the noise. About a crisis of faith, and hoping that your prayers aren't lost. About trying to discern what is righteous, what is false, and how to make sense of it all.
lyrics
Quiet words spoke to the air feel empty,
And the loneliness of despair, front and center.
Reciting phrases in the dark, how I hope they're not lost.
Desperation seeking truth through chaos.
Screaming voices vie for you, ones that ought not.
Reciting phrases in the dark, how I hope they're not lost.
And the wind blows so cold, when I walk this road alone.
How the time keeps slipping by, I don't know.
How pervasive are the lies? I don't know.
Reciting phrases in the dark, how I hope they're not lost.
And the wind blows so cold, when I walk this road alone.
And the wine, how it flows, Lord be with me
So I don't walk this road alone.
So I don't walk this road alone.
