I know you’re running
But what from?
The great bird may be coming
Or he’ll fly on
I know you’re running
But what from?
If that bird is coming
Then he was coming all along
All along

A Dialogue

Hey higher power
Did you make the call?
It seems like years now
To you, no time at all
When you play with gods’ hands
Things tend to break
I saw a city
And the mess you made
So in this ancient light
We convene the ancient rite
To bring you forth
And hear you speak
Hey mortal soldier
Hey man of clay
You think you can conceive of
The games we play?
I saw a city
Felled by human hands
These clouded nobles
Don’t always lead the dance
So in my ancient light
The Nine shall sing for us tonight
And you will know
I’m lord of all
I am the storm

Happiness
False grail trails
I read about that in ‘94
I was a kid then
Like you’re a kid now
With a heart and a wolf and money behind the door
Oh, happiness
It’s a bad sign
Sold by character limit crooks with books online
I saw happiness
Just dust on the grail trail
We got over that in ‘94
We were kids then
There must be kids now
With hearts like wolves and money behind the door
Oh, happiness
It’s a strange town
Full of bodies and thoughts, but there’s never anyone around
Make me wiser
Let me in
If you want to make me wiser you must let me in
Oh, to make me wiser, let me in

Between Stones
03:13
|
|
||
A vision between stones
Sweet portal all aglow
You know one day we’ll come together
Bring the band whate’er the weather
Hit a chord and watch them go
A sound upon the moor
Soft voices carried forth
You know one day we’ll sing together
Of frozen earth and flowered heather
The bells will ring and we will go
Songs rise up between the stones

Martin Pale's Ghost
04:02
|
|
||
Boy, boy this heaven’s on fire
Here comes the song of my tumbledown choir
Singing, ‘Good sailors drink the blood and eat the host’
And the lights in the sky are Martin Pale’s ghost
Kick the weasel and throw him in the brig
I saw the coming of the bird; I saw the killing of the pig
And that unholy king with his wings unfurled
Could stop a man’s heart, could speak truth to the world
Boy, boy this heaven’s on fire
Here comes the song of my tumbledown choir
Singing, ‘Good sailors drink the blood and eat the host’
And the lights in the sky are Martin Pale’s ghost
Boy, boy this heaven’s on fire
Here comes the song of my drunken old choir
Singing, ‘Good sailors drink the blood and eat the host’
And the lights in the sky are Martin Pale’s ghost
Young Johnny I've been keeping on a leash
But he knows what's going on – he’s been talking to the priest
And the hold’s humming to that graveyard sound
You should never raise up what you cannot put down
Boy, boy this heaven’s on fire
Here comes the song of my tumbledown choir
Singing, ‘Good sailors drink the blood and eat the host’
And the lights in the sky are Martin Pale’s ghost
Boy, boy this land’s on fire
Here comes the sound of my drunken old choir
Singing, ‘Good sailors drink the blood and eat the host’
And the lights in the sky are Martin Pale’s ghost

Vague Summer
03:16
|
|

Too much shimmer on that sea
Will push me over the edge
And there are some who never made it back
There are some who never made it back
Whatever I said was a dream
A dream in a vague summer
But we still captured the drums and we drove to the track
You captured my heart when we drove down that track
Water reflects these thoughts
And they are empty and still
I reduce my self
But I still need to connect myself
To jam kids out there and lost
Lost in a vague summer
When we were younger than we looked, older than our years
Tube amps driving and a bucket of beers
Look back, baby
I know time it goes slow
But you never know, maybe
We can loop it into
The new summer we’ve needed lately

Burying the Moon King
03:34
|
|
||
Oh, the King is in the water, can you pull?
I see Saturn low, feel rocks scraping my hull
And my King is blue, a heavy-lidded son
Make a way through water, his body will come
We set his heart within these ancestral walls
The walls he built cast dreams upon us all
Survey this stage from high, to music with no end
Tell the man he could not love he will see him again
Oh, the King is in the water, can you pull?
I see Saturn low, feel rocks scraping my hull
And if a cross stands in that water can you tell?
I buried the Moon King in the June of the chapel bell
I buried my Moon King in the June of the chapel bell

Grimcross
09:33

|

Wise Rose far from home
Out on the road alone
Wise Rose standing stone
Relocating your bones
To a town that welcomes careful speech
The river is wide and the bridge is weak
I heard you’re staying at Grimcross
There’s work to do but it comes at a cost
Good Rose staying out of sight
Ploughing through day and night
Entering their code
Building energy unknown
There’s a dog outside in the square
Whenever you’re at your desk he’s waiting there
Crouched beneath the stone they took
When they built the station, when they opened it up
There’s a circle of solid light
It came to you in a dream last night
Rising out of the ground
Past the stones, past the square, past the barrow mound
Rose woke at Grimcross
The light was gone, it was three o’clock
And there was something moving out there
Almost blue in the black, the dog from the square
She followed him to the mound
Where the circle smouldered on the ground
She saw what she had composed
The numbers balance and unfold
How did I find myself here?
A message at work, an opportunity appeared
A research station, working on theory
Numbers and patterns and nobody near me
And what was the name of the girl?
Some kind of jewel or pearl
She said I could live inside
The town’s alright, the money’s fine
The data comes to you
Problems to solve, she laughed, and a room with a view
Just keep the work to yourself
There’s folk down there who don’t know what’s good for them
The kids told me the stones they move
Sometimes so little, so slow, it’s hard to prove
But it’s true there’s a noise I can’t place
A low roar like a god struggling awake
Working on, refining calculations
Sending them back before leaving the station
To see the subtle shift in the stones
Adjusting their position with a whirring tone
And it was one grey summer’s day
That the message on the screen it came
‘Alignment Complete – Abandon Station’
Rose ran out to where the dog was waiting
And the circle began to grow
Light slipping between the stones
And the world it began to shake
And the world it began to shake
A light that engulfed it all
A light that shot through to her core
And every living thing in the town
Was watching, raised hands upon the barrow mound
Over and over, the last communication
It all began at Grimcross Station

Electric Wessex
03:28

Up here at night
You can have the whole hill
Streetlights haze the distance
And there’s soil beneath my feet
Here
A peregrine man
Tries on a wilder county
And forgets about his home
