Eli Waltz - The Enemy
I once knew
The enemy
The enemy
Were all around
★ Verse 1 ★
I told them
I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid
I said out loud
The enemy
Were all around
★ Verse 2 ★
Why not call
A spade, a spade?
A spade, a spade
They made no sound
I'm not afraid
I said out loud
The enemy
Were all around
★ Verse 3 ★
I dug deep
I built my home
I built my home
Trenched in the ground
A spade, a spade
They made no sound
I'm not afraid
I said out loud
The enemy
Were all around
★ Verse 4 ★
I found friends
Thеy set me right
They sеt me right
Against this town
I built my home
Trenched in the ground
A spade, a spade
They made no sound
I'm not afraid
I said out loud
The enemy
Were all around
★ Instrumental Break ★
★ Outro ★
I once knew
The enemy
The enemy
Were all around
I found friends
Against this town
I built my home
Trenched in the ground
A spade, a spade
They made no sound
I'm not afraid
I said out loud
The enemy
Were all around

Eli Waltz
Biography
He is heralded for his whimsical, philosophical lyricism, unconventional chord progressions and gut-punching harmonica solos. He weaves in traditional Chinese music–inspired by months and years living in Beijing and Yunnan as a working musician–and classical music to create his signature folk rock sound.
His sound has many influences, earning him comparisons to musicians ranging from Ray Lamontagne to Pink Floyd to Shakey Graves to Gregory Alan Isakov. He aims to build upon and honor the legacies of his all-time favorites: Townes Van Zandt, John Lee Hooker, John Fahey, Beethoven and Guan Pinghu.
Waltz has shared the stage with nationally-recognized artists including Willie Carlise and Andrew Combs, and his music has received praise from Sir Paul McCartney among other musical heroes.
He is part of a new wave of up-and-coming American Blues and Folk artists residing in Washington, D.C., home of historic folk label Takoma Records, Skip James and many artists from whom he draws inspiration in his songwriting and performances.
