Dig Down Deep

Dig Down Deep

by Vandaveer

on Dig Down Deep (2011)

dig down deep, don't fold…
for the faintest wind might blow
you off your mark, off your game…
and soil your old man's good name…
hoist your head, don't weep
… or a terrible storm might sweep you out to sea…
that big black sea will lay you down to sleep…
when the soldiers circle ‘round and round…
and the trumpeter's horn blows a deafening sound…
you plant your feet, you stand your ground,
while the bricks you laid come crumbling down
from head to toe,
covered up in dust like jericho…
then you shed your skin down to your bones…
you know a house don't make a home
if you build it all alone…
that's just a hollow skeleton of sticks and stones…

left, right, left, we'll march…
to the pounding beat of our hearts…
and the battle will rattle the earth down to its core
till we forget just what we're fighting for…
the sun will rise in the east…
and the crimson stream at your feet
will calm and recede…
it will bathe and stain…
and by the grace of god we can start again…
