lyrics

To the fold

The death-fires danced at night;
The water, like a witch's oils,
Burnt green, and blue and white. - rime of the ancient mariner

We have learned to never leave
A suspicion or remnant
A trace of our labour
Vulnerable waifs exposed
The sand betrays our step
Depressions lead to consequence
Sea absolves with erasure!
Heed every apology

Every effort quashed
Bruised and encumbered
Every blessing admonished

Bone frown beak calls
Out to the feather mist
Shroud hidden, teeth chattering
The want of acknowledgment

The shore is black volcanic,
Pack ice parts with clumsy pardon
Only for frigid banks
Of ashen cloud in tidal slough

We make our steady way
Cemetery cold
Hung with the weight of evidence
Taking its tithe
Perhaps the end of all of this
Perhaps the end of us

The land imparts joyful repose
In its elfin expanse
Ice shelf above arboretum
Light dances in prism colour
They have come to greet us
The wise and crow lined eyes hide woe

Beneath fleeting smiles, offerings
Gentle tidings, brief reflections harbour hope

We have seen a darkness
A cancer that walks toward us
Whose sore can only be slaked
In the cutting throes of death

Painful admissions confirm
And in the sand we draw our vision
All will don the blade and shadow
And all will wear the grin

Returning home is bitter sweet
Do not despair!
Lofty halls of ice refract
Geometry
The bloom of torches aura
Shadows play
A thousand strong stand silent, waiting

The Women of the Wake cry,
Besieged with visions.
The beguiling second sighted
The gifted and cursed
Whose pigmented hands now brandish
A doll, metal effigy, I know so well

Weathered nails now clutch my cheeks
And elucidate to me the flurry
The liquid sense of epithets
Wholly vivid consequence

You are the green spine, the dew and the moss
Amongst one another is your truss

I have seen this ferrous mask
Within the ribbon shards of shadows bore
In amongst prehensile willow limbs they watched attentive!

Yes this face is young, I am reminded-
Although the ruddy scent of rust is absent

Gods who wriggle beneath kaolin skin, beneath barbs of Tyton writhe!

I see a child in its care
Whose visage sparks familial notes
I have seen!
Our spirit mothers raise their hackles
I have seen!
And preach the elemental sermon
I have seen!
We take up arms, ascend tree spur
To wage our good and noble war
