lyrics
Great grandfather, was a preacher
tried to save the souls of man
pounding fists on the pulpit
cracked wood and tired hands
Great grandfather, was a preacher
he always did the best he could
following the sound of his heart
even if he was misunderstood
oh, thy will be done
Mr Silas, had a favor
to ask one day after church
locked the doors and in a whisper
told him about Mr Cook
on the run from his masters
need to hide him from prying eyes
great grandfather, a humble servant
always did the best he could
oh, thy will be done
they came at night with a knock on the door
they came at night with fire and pitchforks
they came at night ready to kill.
oh, thy will be done
Great grandfather, was a preacher
he always did the best he could
following the sound of his heart
even if he was misunderstood
tried to save the souls of man
pounding fists on the pulpit
cracked wood and tired hands
Great grandfather, was a preacher
he always did the best he could
following the sound of his heart
even if he was misunderstood
oh, thy will be done
Mr Silas, had a favor
to ask one day after church
locked the doors and in a whisper
told him about Mr Cook
on the run from his masters
need to hide him from prying eyes
great grandfather, a humble servant
always did the best he could
oh, thy will be done
they came at night with a knock on the door
they came at night with fire and pitchforks
they came at night ready to kill.
oh, thy will be done
Great grandfather, was a preacher
he always did the best he could
following the sound of his heart
even if he was misunderstood

Block Ice & Propane
by Erik FriedlanderErik was a huge inspiration to me, showing different experimental places to take the cello, that it can sound equally good strummed/plucked as well as bowed, giving the instrument a whole new voice.
