Brown’s Body - 2022 James Jatkevicius ASCAP


He was borne out in the armory glow
You rallied ‘round on that fine day, mourning
He said things to you that you shaped like clay
Like I’ll kill everyone if I live another day


Ringing tones and hammer shocks
The nail looks up and says stop
A knife waves to come close
And a wall of flesh plays host


Good god he’s not the one
Can’t you see he’s not your son
We dress the dead but they don’t rise
And assemble proof from captured side

2
See the closed fist as it dives from above
And the cocked wrist as it telegraphs warning
Shapes to come are sharp to hold or hold back
The bodies proud with pain and grief adorning


Ringing tones and hammer shocks
The nail looks up and says stop
A knife waves to come close
A wall of flesh plays host


Good god he’s not the one
Can’t you see he’s not your son
We dress the dead but they don’t rise
And assemble proof from the captured side

3

Stain on the road shows a trail that’s wide and deep
Blind apostles knuckle drag from sleep and hiding
He’s past dead but more will come undone
This stable yields many daughters and sons born riding


Ringing tones and hammer shocks
The nail looks up and says please stop
A knife waves to come close
A wall of flesh plays host


Good god he’s not the one
Can’t you see he’s not your son
We dress the dead but they don’t rise
And assemble proof from the captured side
