Saskatchewan 03:21
The days are dragging on, it's time to hit the road again I'm going to Saskatchewan where the tall grasses blow And the highway cleanses black blood Dogs are howling, there's a storm on the horizon The winds are raging like the Assiniboine screaming And the highway cleanses black blood An old dirt road, hidden in the corn rows There are some things that I need to forget now And the highway cleanses black blood These praries, they hold secrets The winds are raging like the Chipewyans screaming And the highway cleanses black blood Empty silos, broken down steeples A dusty town hardly worth remembering And the highway cleanses black blood There's a howling in the distance The winds are raging like my conscience screaming And the highway cleanses black blood.

The Tempest 04:09
Let me break like lightning and rain And may everyone fear the thunder of my passage In the swansong of a madman I want the bloody sky to scream my vengeance May the ground tremble in my wake And may the tides rise to wash these days away The earth will vomit in my fury as you mouth Your loved ones names choking on ashes The tempest it will rage Let my name be devastation And may it fall from the lips like blood from the wrist I want to see this treacherous race Face down in the crimson mire The tempest it will rage

Let the whisk(e)y flow, uisge beatha and a dram I've got a song in my blood and the highlands in my heart Losing control and laughing all the while Today we're going down before the sun Fire water, singing songs of the I.R.A. And hey, hey baby, it's ok Let the whisk(e)y flow, uisge beatha and a dram I've got a song in my heart and Long Kesh in my heart Losing control and laughing all the while Today we're going down before the sun Fire water, singing songs on the I.N.L.A. And hey, hey baby, it's ok Let the whisk(e)y flow, uisge beatha and a dram I've got a song in my heart and a free Ireland in my heart Losing control and laughing all the while Today we're going down before the sun Fire water, singing songs on the Sinn Fein And hey, hey baby, it's ok

Yellowknife 02:43
Let me ride across the prairies When the sun is riding high I want to get lost in those calm grasslands I want to drown in the empty mile Let me ride that northern highway When the moon is riding high I want to get lost in my tired thoughts As I roll on through the night Take me back to Yellowknife Where the colours dance across the sky Take me back to Yellowknife That's where I lost my piece of mind Let me walk that lonesome canyon In the cool shade of the pines I want to feel those wild northern winds Send those shivers up my spine
5.
Searching for signs of the sun Through a twelve by four slot in a concrete wall The air so thick with violence You could almost choke on it I've been down I open my eyes in the morning The steel bars remind me just how low it can get I sit on my bunk and read a letter Sent from rural route number one You're too cold to cry and it's a fight to get by I've been down but not out I can't stop thinking of you, it's all that gets me through I've been down but not out This time is unforgiving For the first time my memories mean nothing This time is unforgiving For the first time my memories mean everything I've been down I can still smell the perfume you sprayed on those letters I close my eyes let your smile take me home Times like this can kill the best of us It's a long road back
6.
The winds raged across the dunes As the ocean crashed at our feet We gazed into grey our thoughts lost in the pounding waves If only we could live in these moments forever Meadow flowers in the mist, the gentle salt of your lips Alone together watching seals play in the sea I'd kill to see you smile like that everyday If only we could live these moments forever
7.
Old day and old ways I think I like you better as a memory Rather than a lie Hashish smoke and a moonlit smile It's funny that after all these years when I think of you That's what comes to mind Trench Street has never seemed so far away And to be honest I haven't thought about those days in years Trench Street was just a lie It was a strange time Just holding on when we knew to let go So many things have changed since then Never again will I feel so cold

about

In 2005 Summer of '92 began functioning as a full band. In the winter of 2005/6, after jamming songs both old and new, the band made the decision to record a full band demo to check their progress. Settling themselves into a converted studio-shed in Willowdale ON, the band with the aide of friend Aldis recorded a handful of songs. Around this time a decision was made to take advantage of the relaxed studio environment and record another EP.

Beginning in the late spring and ending in the summer, the band stripped down early full band songs, rerecorded some others and recorded a few brand new ones collecting enough jams to release 'Saskatchewan' the following year.
