The Mountain Goats (John Darnielle and Rachel Ware)-Enoch 18 14. Lyrics below

The missing song from 'The Life Of The World To Come'.According to John it did'nt make the final cut for the Bible. Sung live in the auditorium of John's old school??? Also check 4ADrecords-youtube page. Ezekiel And The Permanent Efficacy Of Grace.

i saw some old friends as i came to the city gate
they asked me where i'd been of late
i hadn't been anywhere but what was i going to say
two hopeful people looking at me that way
you and your brother
you both escaped the curse
you can't comprehend what it's like

we stood in the sunlight and they asked me where i'd been
held the gate open - told me to come on in
i saw the damp green grass so nice on the other side
couldn't explain myself to them but i tried
you and your brother
you both escaped the curse
you can't comprehend what it's like

the ground was dry but giving, the sky was nearly black
saw some old friends when i looked back
remember my old home, haven't forgotten yet
what happens on the day when i forget
you and your brother
you both escaped the curse
so you can't comprehend what it's like

Where can I get a copy of this song?

[reteipdevries]

@qumran48 I got it by recording the audiotrack of a video with my Tascam gt-r1. I think there's only live versions on torrents on the web.

the chorus is from the PS2 game Odin Sphere

@edisawesome94 It is a mountain goat grooming a wombat. They are native in North America. I think it's a male. They weigh up to 300 lbs.

@edisawesome94 A wombat.
