lyrics

Lord, hear my prayer, hide not yourself
From my entreating voice:
Attend and hear me; in my plaint
I mourn and make a noise.

Because of all my enemies and
Man’s oppression great:
On me they cast iniquity,
And they in wrath me hate.

Sore pained within me is my heart:
Death's terrors on me fall.
On me comes trembling, fear and dread
Me Overwhelmed withal.

O that I, like a dove, had wings,
Said I, then would I flee
Far hence, that I might find a place
Where I in rest might be.

Lo, then far off I wander would,
And in the desert stay;
From windy storm and tempest I
Would haste to 'scape away.

O Lord, on them destruction bring,
And do their tongues divide;
For in the city violence
And strife I have espied.

They day and night upon the walls
Do go about it round:
There mischief is, and sorrow there
In midst of it is found.

Abundant wickedness there is
Within her inward part;
And from her streets deceitfulness
And guile do not depart.

He was no foe that me reproached,
Then that endure I could;
Nor hater that against me raged
From him me hide I would.

But you who were my equal, guide,
My dearest, closest friend
We joined sweet counsels, to God's house
In company we past.

More smooth than butter were his words,
While in his heart was war;
His speeches were more soft than oil,
And yet drawn swords they are.

Let death upon them seize, and down
Let them go quick to hell;
For wickedness does much abound
Among them where they dwell.

I'll call on God: he will me save.
I'll pray, and cry aloud
At evening, morning, and at noon;
And he shall hear the sound

He hath my soul delivered,
That it in peace might be
From battle that against me was;
For many were with me.

Now cast your burden on the Lord,
And he shall you sustain;
Yea, he shall cause the righteous one
Unmoved to remain.

But you, O Lord my God, those men
In justice overthrow,
And in destruction's dungeon dark
At last shall lay them low

about

Tarblossom Turin, Italy

Tarblossom is the musical project of Jonathan Kleis, an electro-roots rock that mixes the fire of an Old Testament prophet with the fury of a Flannery O'Connor story. The inspiration behind Tarblossom can be found in the earthy grit of old-time Americana, the swampy spank of Delta bottleneck, and the pulsing ambience of modern electronica as a contemporary setting for ancient texts. ... more
