Heel on the Shovel

16 Horsepower was an American alternative country music group based in Denver, Colorado. Their music often invoked religious imagery dealing with conflict, redemption, punishment, and guilt through David Eugene Edwards's lyrics and the heavy use of traditional bluegrass, gospel, and Appalachian instrumentation cross-bred with rock. For the bulk of its career, the band consisted of Edwards, Jean-Yves Tola, and Pascal Humbert, the latter two formerly of the French band Passion Fodder. After releasing four studio albums and touring extensively, the group broke up in 2005, citing "mostly political and spiritual" differences. The members remain active in the groups Woven Hand and Lilium. more »

I'm diggin' you a shallow grave 
An to the sun your face I'll raise 
I'm diggin' you a shallow grave 
One hundred buzzards buzzin' 

I seen death hangin' from the tallest tree 
Eyes closed no lookin' back at me 
Ye they came an took him in the night 
The one who kissed em was greed 

O everyone will see 
An everyone will know 
Boy you reap what you sow 
I'm diggin' you a shallow grave 

An on your rotten bones I'll raise 
Yellow daisies 
For my true loves hair 
One hundred buzzards buzzin' 

I see death runnin' from his majesty 
O lord where is the fear in me 
In between your praying hands 
You hold the skeleton key
