(Fox)

O the height the depth
The width and breath 
O the height and depth
The height
The height
O the height and depth
O the height and depth

Samson the sun
Stand the hawk
Ground; of one who has heard
Small fires; flaming fox
Kindleth fire
In the torches, fire 
Sendeth him out 
Into the standing corn: 
Even unto the vineyard - unto olive 
He smiteth them -
Hip and thigh, right hand and eye
A great great smiting, 

The height
The height
O the height and depth
O the height and depth

He goeth down,
And dwelleth in
The cleft of the rock
On his arms are as flax, they burn with fire
And his bands are wasted
From off his hands;
The merciful parable
The winepress, yes

No shadow of turning,
Just a rumor is enough
He findeth a fresh jaw-bone
Of an ass, putteth forth his hand
And taketh it,
And smiteth - a thousand men
He taketh a fresh jawbone

O the height and depth
The width and breath
O the height and depth
The height
The height
O the height and depth
O the height and depth

is that good, though? 
'
different' for sure. 

here's a link for a good 40-min video documentary/interview with the singer/songwriter, describing his upbringing, influences and vision for his music, if you're interested: 

David Eugene Edwards Documentary - The Preacher (Full Version)

i went to see him play in a small club last year, and read an advert for the show billing him as "alternative country" 

i thought: 
"
well it's certainly an alternative to country:laugh:
