about

(The lyrics are based on The Bascom Affair. Mostly about Cochise discovering the bodies of his brother and nephews, leading to the twenty-five year Apache Wars. It took an absolute age to finish.)

lyrics

and the sun hits the sky, the rope is pulled tight
back to front eyes roll in like the tide
and the memory could fade away but sonora remains

they'll carve up his love, let loose the sound
he'll know soon enough when the wind holds their howls
and the memory could fade away but sonora remains

broke-neck brothers lying in my hands my skies turn black again

and they're falling apart, lead birthed from the sides
burns out the hearts and melts with the crime
and the memory could fade away but sonora remains

down to the last 'til the next in the line
it ends like it starts, an eye for an eye
and the memory could fade away but sonora remains

broke-neck brothers lying in my hands my skies turn black
heart-beat hours end first light but my, my skies burn black again
