Went to the mountain and what did I see? There were rocks piled high, they were covering me Went to the valley that's far down below I was out of my head, I had nowhere to go I've been over this world I've seen rivers run wild, I've seen diamonds and pearls But the one thing I'll tell you, it's all the same When you hear the voice and it calls your name Went to the river that runs inside Well the water was black and the tide was high Went to the shallows to wash off my blade All I could see was the trouble I made All the trouble I made I was born in the sun, but I'll die in the shade

The Undoer 06:55
Out here where the west was won Neath your god and your sky and your sun You know what's done is done So wash your hands in the river that runs And say goodbye The desert leaves us all the same Caked in dirt and praying for rain No one knows their maker’s name So I tell em mine so they know I came To say goodbye Like the coyote out there on the plain I am the one to send you back where you came Six silver bullets in one final game I am the one to send you back where you came You don't sleep You won't cry I won't even Tell you why You just die A summer sun is all around me And I am drowning in its light But now the clouds they seem to find me And I am fading out of sight

Sweet Mariah 05:09
Sweet Mariah, won't you burn your fire Burn it high and bright Burn it through the night Cause I'm a lonely rider, pockets full of gold I'm a lonely rider, on this open road Slow down Mariah, you don't have to move so fast Cause when you burn your fire, I want this burn to last Sweet Mariah, what a lovely face Sweet Mariah, had such a lovely waist, such a lovely waste Sweet Mariah grab my badge and gun Sweet Mariah, cause I'm about to have some fun Slow down Mariah, you don't have to run so fast Cause when I burn my fire, my fire it burns so fast

Look Around 03:25
I have a mother who did the best she could Before I came my father left her for good And I've been hiding just who I am But seeing you now changes all of my plans I lurked in shadows where corners meet I plotted everything except for my defeat Awake with fever at 3 am Forgive me now, for father I have sinned And then I heard, “Take a good look around Everything you loved has drowned Take a good look around” Sister Mercy she came round my bed She gave me morphine it when straight to my head She saw a dying man in need of some reprieve Grace it came to me, it’s a cold white sheet And then I heard, “Take a good look around Everything you've lost is found Take a good look around”

Ready Man 03:45
Do I look like a man who can live a life on his own Take my slow and steady hand, I'm gonna show you what I've learned alone Watch what you say, you don't know what you been missin It ain't everyday, you got the whole world listening I'll be your ready man, if that's what you were hoping I'll be a steady hand, while the world keeps rolling Steady hand the world keeps rolling Would you answer me a question, one that's been on my mind Could you offer me protection from the world that's waiting outside

RBI Brooklyn, New York

Somewhere between the sparse sound of spaghetti westerns, heavy blues rock, and neo-psych you’ll find RBI's riffy jams. Grinding their way across desert landscapes, over cloudy mountaintops and through dark rivers - RBI's expansive sound explores the shadowy corners of the human imagination. ... more
