The stars are the hearths of our forefathers
They shimmer in the past
Won’t you anchor us
The stars are the hearths of our forefathers
They shimmer in the past
Won’t you anchor us
So sail, sail
So sail, sail
So sail, sail

Filaments

Here I am a thinking I was faster than I ever was
Here I sit a wondering how I could be, ever this wrong
Tumbling and tumbling, how can a fall feel this long
Here I sit a wondering how I could be, ever this wrong
Show me the filaments, light my path from here
Show me the filaments, I’m blinded by fear
Show me the filaments, light my path from here
Show me the filaments, I’m blinded by fear
So Light me a way
You said you’d use the light inside, to banish the dark
You said I built on borrowed land, but the
stars draw our paths
Show me the filaments, light my path from here
Show me the filaments, I’m blinded by fear
Show me the filaments, light my path from here
Show me the filaments, I’m blinded by fear
So Light me a way
Tumbling, tumbling, how can a fall feel this
(Light me a way)
Tumbling, tumbling, how can a fall feel this
(Light me a way)
Tumbling, tumbling, how can a fall feel this
(Light me a way)
Tumbling, tumbling, how can a fall feel this long

Curse
04:09
|

I hare away
You always play your part
Trip through the veil
A curse across your path
I am the moon
The shimmer in your eyes
Taken too soon
This way madness lies
This way madness lies
This way madness lies
This way madness lies
Take your mark
Take your mark
Take your mark
Take your mark
(I'll follow you, I'll follow you)
(I’ll reap all you sow)
(A curse upon your house and all who lay there)
(You carved upon her door you best obey her)

Buried
03:06
|

Oh, you said you couldn’t lose another me
Just another young’un under yew trees
Mmm I’m buried underground
Mmm I’m buried underground
And as your roots run around me
Tearing through the memories that cover me
Mmm I’m buried underground
Mmm I’m buried underground
Oh, you said you couldn’t lose another me
Just another young’un under yew trees
Mmm I’m buried underground
Mmm I’m buried underground

Hawthorn

Crown yourself with hawthorn flowers
Beaten red with autumn showers
Broken feet that dance beneath
Mistletoe and oaken bowers
And words stretch out in to silence
And words stretch out in to silence
Song lines broken over years
Voices drowning in their tears
Long forgotten not betrayed
Trust no truth you cannot hear
And words stretch out to silence
And words stretch out in to silence
And words stretch out in to silence
And words stretch out in to silence
And words stretch out in to silence
And words stretch out in to silence

Avine

He took her hands, he stole her lands
Branded her for living
Cast aside and vilified
No sign of forgiving
So give her back her magpie wings they taught her how to steal and sing
Instead he clipped and had her whipped
She was left to wander sinning
He crushed her pride and stole her sight
She was left to travel blind
And stumble past the dead and done
Fortune mocking at her side
So give her back her raven eyes
The only way she knows to cry
As silent tears roll to her chest
Where she longs for those who died
He cut her tongue, took all she’d sung
Words she spoke when she was young
The words they whispered down the dale
Words she swore to never fail
So give her back her starling song
Over winters she’s passed on
To sing to fledglings flying nests
Secrets kept and carried on
With air and earth and water crowned
To ashes buried underground
She holds no place in this disgrace
Liminal yet duty bound
The heron brings the swan will take
Harbour secrets never found
So give her back her herons beak
So she can reach what lies beneath
Forever never feather crowned
She’ll be waiting quietly

Prophecies
03:16
|

I'll wait all night
For the sun to rise
Lighting up my eyes
Lighting up the sky
Shining on altered stones
Treading on blood and bone
We’ll wait all night
For the sun to rise
Lighting up our eyes
Lighting up our skies
We’ll wait all night
For the sun to rise
Shine on the altar stone
Warm our weary bones
I’ll wait all night

Home
02:48
|

I’m humbled
Forced upon my knees
So I stumbled
You swore you’d catch me
They’re empty
The promises you have made
Found wanting
Just another honour betrayed, betrayed
You can take our lands
But I will still remain
You can take our lands
But I will still remain
You can take our lands
But I will still remain
You can take our lands
But I will still remain
What was once home
(My soul replaced by lead)
What was once home
(My soul replaced by lead)
What was once home
(My soul replaced by lead)
What was once home
(My soul replaced by lead)
What was once home
(My soul replaced by lead)
What was once home
(My soul replaced by lead)
What was once home
(My soul replaced by lead)
What was once home
(My soul replaced by lead)
My soul replaced by lead
My soul replaced by lead

Magpie
01:39
|

I plucked a feather
from a magpie’s tail
And I vowed never
To see love fail
He bowed, clever
His colours spread
I plucked once more
And His tail turned red
He said one’s for sorrow
But what of two?
And why should I give
All to you?’
So then I swore
Before he fled
To pluck once more
And his tail turned red
Five is for feathers
They say six for fur
But seven for secrets...
Seven is for secrets never to be heard

Vixen
06:26
|

Far beyond the reach of boxing hares
You leapt across a breach, it’s never been fair
Far beyond the form that never did hold
The moon is crescent prescient, all unfolds
You fear me and I fear you
Yet I still run and you pursue
With copper skies in amber eyes
Your back against the weather
With copper skies in amber eyes
Across the morning heather
You’ve come home
And turned towards the fell
You’ve come home
And turned towards the fell
Oh now the vixen’s fled
Her thorns her bed
Oh now the vixen’s fled
Fled and gone to ground
Fled and gone to ground
Fled and gone to ground
Oh now the vixen’s fled
Her thorns her bed
Oh now the vixen’s fled
Fled and gone to ground
Fled and gone to ground
Fled and gone to ground
Fled and gone to ground
Fled and gone to ground
Fled and gone to ground
Fled and gone to ground

Taken
03:35

Where was the hope where was the hope, you’d given up
You pulled down the world, pulled down the world on top of us
Who decides, who decides
Who decides, who decides
Taken far too young
Taken far too young
Where was the trust where was the trust
You promised us
You pulled down the world, you pulled down the world on top of your us
Who decides, who decides
Who decides, who decides
Taken far too young
Taken far too young
Taken far too young
Taken far too young
