The Snake The Cross The Crown - "In Time" Lyrics
I was getting lost in a pyre
Trying to find my way down South
I was burning like a witch in a fire
By a sun I used to know so well, when I was young.

Caught you cutting up on a corner
You were grinning like something else
A smile I hadn't seen in ages
In a town I used to know so well, when I was young

It's all we have to do in time
Pay them want they want, give them what they like
It's all we have to do

I was getting lost in a pyre
Trying to find my way down South
I was burning like a witch in a fire
By a sun I used to know so well, when I was young.

But the water came, and the river swelled
And we lost our hold, as the evening fell
Now we're all alone, on the other side
As the water wept, and the people cried

It's all we have to do in time
Pay them want they want, give them what they like
It's all we have to do

Hello Friends,


We know we've been quiet for quite some time, and the truth is that writing and recording music has become something increasingly difficult for us to do together. Life is constantly tugging us in different directions, but in the end, creating together as friends and as brothers is still worth striving for. Our current circumstances obliterate the importance of timely releases, of manic promotion, and, unfortunately, regular touring. But we carry on, the best we can, doing what we do when it is possible. I am hopeful that will never change.

On our last tour, our good friend Nicholas Kleczewski was able to capture on film what was, in many ways, the end of an era for us. We had all moved away from California, most of us were in different parts of the country, doing various things. We got together that summer to play some shows and record some songs, knowing that this was the end of something that had been profoundly important to every one of us.The film captures that simultaneous process of celebrating everything that has been, while mourning everything that will be lost. I think our music has always been about both of those experiences, so we hope that you enjoy what will ideally be an unusual surprise, a different expression of us and our music, as we carry on the best we can.

The film is called  "On A Carousel of Sound, We Go Round," a full-length feature film documenting the band the last time we were all together. It's  premiering at the Louisville International Festival of Film this Friday, Oct 2nd at 9:45 PM.   Members from the band and Nicholas will be at the screening. More info and tickets can be found here: louisvillefilmfestival.org We're packaging the DVD together with a 14 song CD of b-sides and newer recordings, and we're releasing the two-disc set on October 13th exclusively through our webstore. See the extended trailer. We hope you enjoy

"There is here no measuring with time, no year matters, and ten years are
nothing. Being an artist means, not reckoning and counting, but ripening like
the tree which does not force its sap and stands confident in the storms of
spring without the fear that after them may come no summer. It does come.
But it comes only to the patient, who are there as though eternity lay before them,
 so unconcernedly still and wide. I learn it daily, learn it with pain to which I am grateful: patience is everything!"

-Rainer Maria Rilke (translated by M.D. Herter Norton)

Hey Everyone,

The kind folks over at Daytrotter.com have been nice enough to feature us on their site. After our show in chicago on the Mewithoutyou tour we dropped by and recorded a few live versions of a couple of the songs we have been playing on tour. It was a fun process and we're proud to direct you over to their site. The cartoon version of Kevin's beard is worth it alone but you might as well check out the tunes while you're there. Enjoy!
