Lyrics
Holding off that imminent role
Of a dead man in a hole
Holding off that final day
When He takes my breath away
God damn this temporary state
Each day the hollows they wait
God damn this restless mind of mine
Got me doing time
Now this road once was stone
There once was flesh upon the bone
Behold the hallowed home
Once sacred now it's penitent and cold
God damn this temporary state
Each day the hollows they wait
God damn this restless mind of mine
Got me doing time

From 2005's debut solo effort In Aurora to 2015's Easy (as part of the power-trio Noah's Arcade), 2017's thematic concept album, Dead Reckoning, about illness, death, and grief, and his newest, 2020's Summer's Gone...Gabriel's songs are powerful dissections of characters in desperate times or taking even more desperate measures.
