    This is an extremely limited edition USB key edition of Tears of Men. Each hand wood-burned, wearable 2gb drive is made from reclaimed pine and rope lanyard, and each drive is unique. On it, you'll find the original HD studio masters in their native 24/96 sample rate, the highest possible quality VBR MP3 transcodes of the master CD, lyrics, the original artwork and charts, and a short note from me with some thoughts about the album and how to best take advantage of the high definition FLAC files on the drive.

  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    This is an extremely limited edition 2 LP set of Tears of Men in 180 gram audiophile Vinyl, replete with custom artwork. There are 250 in Black and 250 in Blue Colorlight (please specify which you'd prefer in your order). The black sounds slightly better, however, I may at some point repress in Black if there is demand, whereas the 250 in blue are the only ones that will ever exist. Of course, you'll also get a free digital copy of the album along with your purchase, but frankly, the Vinyl sounds infinitely better than the digital could ever dream to.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Tears of Men via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

Dear highway Nine
It's been a long time
How are you?

Made one mistake
But I'm back to retake
What is mine

So sunshine make a little space
I'm back to my old face
I'm doing fine

My mind is clear
And now that I'm here
We shall begin anew
You can repay your dues in kind

I'm not the only one
Lost under the sun
Still looking for truth
Still looking confused

It's only a name
You can call it a game
But I know how to lose
Much better than you

Step back a pace
The penultimate race
Is starting soon

By 63rd and Lex
Our re-anointed hex
Under a crescent moon
We'll pen a nobler tune
We'll cry again...
Cassandra would be proud of us as men

But it just doesn't feel right
The dawn and the light
Don't wash out the pain
It isn't the same

The palms of our hands
Keep bleeding in sand
The dusk risen heart
The sun has gone dark

So keep checking your step
Feint hard to the night
One choice left at hand
To Stand or to Die...

So tired and undone
We cannot know what we've begun
Until tomorrow

There is no promised land
No hidden course or soft command
No strength to borrow

What if all we've created is more sorrow?
