about

Triumph and Sin is the first song I wrote and recorded for Faces From The Static. The majority of the work was done in a single afternoon recording session in December of 2011. Then, it remained largely unchanged until right before the album was finished, when I reworked the final chorus.

lyrics

Do you remember

The triumph and the sin?

Our days ran by

Like smoke upon the wind.



And laid upon my bedspread

Are books with blackened pages.

And five miles back

The fire burns within.



Well, she's not in the doorway.

No, she's not in the chair.

And she's not at the table.

Anymore.



My tongue still remembers

The juniper and gin;

Our recipe

The origin of sin.



And laid upon my table

Are charcoal leaves from ages

That I spent wandering

Out and back again.



Well, she's not in the doorway.

No, she's not in the chair.

And she's not at the table.

Anymore.



Well, she's not in the garden.

No, she's not on the stair.

No, she's not on the left side.

Anymore.
