about

Ushering in the second half of the album, "Strand" evokes imagery of walking through a path of snow as the sound of life begins to echo all around. Calling back to his folk roots, Brother Kestrel tells a story of courage to move forward and reminiscence of briefly wishing to stay behind.

lyrics

[A walk through the snow of the morning]

[Verse 1]
Once again into the fray I go
Into the last good fight I’ll ever know
Once again I’ll hear you in the cold
Bury me beneath these hallowed oaks

[Break]
Oooo
Oooo

[Verse 2]
Gather up your things, I’ll gather mine
Abandon what’s before for what’s behind
Follow me along this riverside
Forever doomed to search and never find

[Bridge]
In the night, I’ll find the strength to stand
Don’t stumble through the darkness, take my hand
And in the night, I’ll find the strength to stand
Don’t stumble through the darkness, take my hand

[Life all around begins to sing]

[Break]
Oooo
Oooo

[Verse 3]
Tell me one more time that you will stay
Beside me as we dream and as we lay
If I could give it all for one more day
I wouldn't have it any other way

[Outro]
Oooo
Oooo
Oooo
Oooo
