By the ruined kingdom
In the starlit wood
Night jar song
All the worlds were listening
In the starlit wood
Reverence
All I know
This cloak of grief ain’t light
No lullaby
To hide behind
Ain’t no easy lie
To conjure peace of mind
Look for starlight
Through the long night
Back to the Earth
We all go back
Back to the Earth
We all go back
Who’s to say what’s for wishing
In the starlit wood
Down the well
Govenek
Tie a ribbon
In the starlit wood
Disintegrating
All I know
This cloak of grief ain’t light
No lullaby
To hide behind
Ain’t no easy lie
To conjure peace of mind
Look for starlight
Through the long night
Back to the Earth
We all go back
Back to the Earth
We all go back
Sometime

ANOTHER LIFETIME
04:04
|

|
Goin’ back
Untie the binds
Same old places
Different times
Hustling
Rollin dice
It’s a drag
Your cold turn of mind
Goin’ back
Stomping grounds
Different faces
Same old town
Wonder when
The luck ran out
Guess it don’t
Matter much now
Same old heavens
Same old hells
Look at your past
And wish it well
Boy I told you
This’ll haunt ya
But it’s the right time
To say farewell
I was so much older then
Than I am now
I was so much bolder then
At least Inside out
Maybe I was
More sure of my own mind
It’s another lifetime
That I don’t recognise
Look ahead
Serpentine
Cut the chase
Turn your heart blind
It’s a drag sure
But it was alright
Guess I can’t quite
Cut the kite
If I could’ve warned you
Back then
To catch your breath
And check your head
Cold shoulders
Heavy water
It’s in the past
Lay it to rest
‘Cos I was so much older then
Than I am now
I was so much bolder then
At least Inside out
Maybe I was
More sure of my own mind
Now it’s another lifetime
That I don’t recognise
Starlings flying
Beyond these walls
The ravens skyline
Cold as stone
These broken lifetimes
Hard to recall
But the horizon knows all
Although
I don’t remember much of anything anymore
I can’t remember much of anything anymore
Our stories grow old to soon

TOLCARNE SKY
03:12

Tolcarne kings out in oilers
No they don’t fear the cold
Down ‘Badcocks block’ to the corner
The rooftops sing to the sword
Wake up child
Turn your eye to the morning
Go find a little daylight
‘Cos this rounds all in
There’s been a murder up by the reservoir
But the jaded are out to cajole
Couple kids in their dance with the wild waves
Down Skilly where storms shake the walls
Wake up child
Cold hearts need thawing
You go dance in the daylight
Wherever it’s falling
These streets were paved with memories
With our joy and our sorrow for centuries
And these towns we call home
Keep our secrets ‘neath the rubble
Haunt our hearts with echoes
Ghosts and dreams that defined us
Heard the Wiccan lament in Lamorna
While the ravens circled the stones
Felt the weight of the tide & surrendered
My wreck to the wrath of the shore
Wake up child
And if you’re falling
Try to find a little daylight
Wherever it’s dawning
Wake up child
Your hearts calling
We all need a little daylight
‘Cos this rounds all in
These streets are paved with memories
With our joy and our sorrow for centuries
And these towns we call home
Keep our secrets ‘neath the rubble
Haunt our hearts with echoes
Ghosts and dreams that define us

STRANGE BEAUTIFUL
04:02

Sunrising I been up all night
Strange beautiful feeling
So tired I can’t trace the half light
Burning through this cave of mine
You were laughing
I was wondering why
Strange clinical fear that
Has plagued me
The whole of my time with this face
You stared up said look at the new sky rising
Now lay your troubles down
There’s no right time to loose the lock on our cages man
In my heart I knew you were right
I’m my own worst horror
Sometimes we all need a lip bite and a look outside
Where the rockfall
The debris
Is all some shade of May
And the awkward
Conversation
Is surely ashamed to be
Nervous break down
Coming for sure
A mighty fine hubris
These flickers
Are a wrecking ball
For monotony
Sunrising I been up all night
Strange beautiful feeling
Someone split my mind like a horizon child
Half awake and still half blind
You were laughing at my wandering eye
Such a literal weirdo
And I burned that image inside of
Your smile in the light
Where the rockfall
& the debris
Is all some shade of May
And the awkward
Conversation
Is surely ashamed to be
Nervous break down
Yeah it’s coming for sure
A mighty fine hubris
These flickers
Are a wrecking ball
For monotony
But forget that now
‘Cause for once I feel things just might be alright
And for now that’s all I care to keep in mind
Cause for once there’s
No heavy weather
Just a new sky
And for now this moments all I give a damn about

I'm a Kila
Keep me
Bitter sweet
Your ass against the wall
You're a slow forgiver
Ice queen
Sweet dream
Counting lucky stars
Some folks say that I'm
Crazy
'Cause I keep half an eye
Fixed on wonder
Your light's as strange as my
Mind can be
Who cares what's wrong or right
When we've got each other
Around
No one around
Nine life survivor
Off the leash
Hungry eyed
Beware of the dogs
You're a slow forgiver
Butterflies
Bee stings
How I love your claws
I might spin you out
With you I'm lost and found
Some folks say that I'm
Crazy
'Cause I keep half an eye
Fixed on wonder
Your light's as strange as my
Mind can be
Who cares what's wrong or right
When we've got each other
Around
I don't care who's wrong or right
Just as long as you're still there
Saying it's alright
My bitter sweet dream
Don't care who's wrong or right
My bitter sweet dream
Still there saying it's alright
My bitter sweet dream

BELERION
03:19
|

|
We sit staring out
Past the faded lines of blood
Ghosts of the asphalt
Engraved under bitumen
We sit there and I
Know there’s more to become than crushed
Dreamers forever
Hell raised for malevolent love
The noose sells no future out of line
Alive in death still I ain’t buying
Keep my mind on the graceful while
Your heart holds the best of us
So fuck it all
Times a wasting
Memory
Like Grains of sand
So fine
You can’t be careless
Forget the rush
Of great pretension
Love what you can
Lose what you’ve lost
Wear more than the hand
Of circumstance
So own your devils darling
No I won’t waste one more breath
Can you taste it
There’s hope still
And I will believe it’s coming
Every heart beat counts for something more than
Chasing tails and
Tearing old wounds apart
Over spilt milk and broken mud
Every heart beat counts for something more
After the rage subsides
And the starlight recalls
The shelter of your smile
Lighthouse in the storm
After the rage subsides
And the starlight recalls
The shelter of your smile
Lighthouse in the storm
After the rage subsides
And the starlight recalls
The shelter of your smile
Little lighthouse in the storm
While old Belerion
Sings a tempests tune
And the long nights caterwaul
For a sonder smile to return
A couple starry gazey kids
Told we’re to sensitive
Well we make the best of it
Don’t we love
Don’t we love
Don’t we love

SENTINELS
03:27
|
|||
|
Been falling
A long time
Behind this cracked
Glass smile
But outside
It’s starlight for the dying
Keep turning the
Loose screws
On the old bent door
See what’s left behind
Tempest tempered iron
And sure enough
The troubles of a wild mind
Are curious
Always going to roll the dice
Sentinels to the fractures
Navigate these canyons
Of human hearts
Cruel as we are kind
Bad dreams & miracles
The great lunatic fabric of this world
Cold morning
Heads roll under broken lights
Our star spangled eyes
Survivors by design
We all know better
Still claw for a knife edge
Bad dreams either side
It makes us feel alive
And sure enough
The troubles of a wild mind
Are curious
Always gointa roll the dice
Sentinels to the fractures
Navigate these canyons
Of human hearts
Cruel as we are kind
Burn your ritual
Welcome the call
And illuminate the cracks as we fall
Bad dreams & miracles
The great lunatic fabric of this world

CANDY FLOSS & CORPSES

Take the last turn past the tip
Near the Cold War kids get on
Built a mighty pyre to cast the crypt
Glassy eyes don’t lie old timer
Hold tomorrow be there in a minute
I’m playing carrion to instinct
A last dance every tempest
Lost it found it
Sometimes I feel like I
Never signed up for this
Climb the eyrie higher so I can see
Beyond candy floss and corpses
You don’t repay simple kindness
With bad grace
Sometimes I feel just like I
Never signed up for this
Never signed up for this
Hey now death
Rest a while
So much time to kill
We were friends
Were we not?
Know that I think of you still
(x3)

Nevermind the rabbit hole
Fluexotine, respiridone
Suicide & second homes
Where did all the wonder go?
Haunted by the burials
Wild eyed with chemicals
Royal bloodline strangle hold
Our tongues cut we dance on the ropes
I live a long way from London
Down the cracked veins of county lines
Same sickle & blade a long way from London
Same trouble to find in forgotten minds
Kiss the rain & curse the gods
And kill a town with superstores
Can’t hear stones that time forgot
The rose glassed an ash choked heart
I live a long way from London
Down the cracked veins of county lines
Same sickle & blade a long way from London
Same trouble to find in forgotten minds
I live a long way from London
Down the cracked veins of county lines
Same sickle & blade a long way from London
Same trouble to find in forgotten minds
Each glass is nowhere near half full
Stoke your fires with care
We’re like bulls to the rag round here
Yeah I live a long way from London
Down the cracked veins of county lines
Same sickle & blade a long way from London
Same trouble to find in forgotten minds
This Hallowed land
Beneath us
Knows no keeper
Her rapture unbound
By hollow
Captors of dreams
Who keep us bleeding out
Bent but unbroken
This Hallowed land
Beneath us
Knows no keeper
Her rapture unbound
By hollow
Captors of dreams
Who keep us bleeding out
Minds bent, but not yet broken

I could've sworn I held
Your heart
Another world
So close
To close for comfort
Indefatigable
Iridescent
Your heart
Another world

AL'S SONG
03:50
|

It’s been a while
Since I knew shelter
From a ravaged mind
Clothed in shame
Since I knew warmth
In the depths of winter
Down the rabbit hole
Been waylaid
My friend you were
Firelight & wonder
To a childs mind
Torn & frayed
And you said to me
Fear owns all cages
Dance ‘til your seasons end
Time’s ghost to chase
So slow down
At seasons end
Done wandering
This long strange dream
Love & memory
Will see us through
The long way back home
This time old friend
Wild heart
Free mind
Leave the burdens that you’ve known
All hearts in good time
Find their own way
Wild heart
Free mind
Leave the burdens carried so long
All hearts in good time
Find their own way
Back home again
