Ordination of Aaron were a short-lived band from Kalamazoo, MI. They were around from 1993 to 1995. They toured the east coast, midwest & south during the hot summer of 94 but mostly kept close to their native Michigan and surrounding states inc Canada. In their lifetime, Ordination of Aaron has released a s/t 7" on Bloodlink Records, a split 7" with Indian Summer & a acoustic 7" on Inchworm Records and a s/t LP on Council Records. They have also appeared on the We've Lost Beauty compilation (File 13), All The President's Men compilation (Old Glory), and Amnesia compilation (Ebullition). All of this has been compiled on a discography CD released by Arcade Kahca entitled "Complete Works". Unfortunately all are now out of print...

I was born in 1865 in the southeastern united states of america.

On this my plantation, on this my plantation.

So simple until that day

lying in the hot sun,

lying in the hot sun.

Tried to wake him,

but he would not awaken. (drop the bucket and run)

Asked my father, but did not question

saw it fall, saw it fall (drop the bucket and run)

I thought it made him free,

I thought it made him (run away, get away) free.

Wish i would have said this before (when I was still alive)

I thought that I was so free...

thought that you might have learned from my mistakes,

but you've only regenerated

all the things i've

come to know and hate.

I saw it fall the last drop to the bucket

onto the blade of grass

and I thought it might have made him free.
