Zep Tepi is a song about an ancient time, the "first time" when the "cosmic gods" walked the Earth with men. It is also a bit of a tribute to Led Zeppelin.
With Rodrigo Flores on violin.
Recorded live at Good Stuff, Marshall.
Lyrics:
Let us cast light on the First Time,

That you possessed clear understanding
of your standing
and your place in the skies.
History writ in cuneiform

in light of a thousand suns.
Giant feet dance on a mega-floor
while keeping score
on walls of a thousand tons.
Let us cast light on the First Time,
it’s the last time of your life.
The giants rode down through the dark wind
and the black-finned
swam out of the ocean night.
Blocks spoken high in the temple walls
where they play ball
megaliths, trilathons
Vibrating voice of the first gods
built the last gods
a spell-spoken magic wand.
