Download Lyrics

Austral used stones as weapons.
Habilis created stone tools.
Aba Gvoha means “High Father”
Chutch Mim means “Water Cleaver”
Zorek Avnim means “Rock Thrower”
Ama Tala means “Lamb Mother”
Ushaa Shialom means “Peacemaker”
Belteshazzar means “Daniel”
The Migdal Eder was a stone tower in the middle of a pasture at the edge of town in the Long Ago.
The ancient Greeks had two words for time. Kronos was the relentless march of chronological time. Kairos was a pregnant moment in time, an inflection point of consequence.
