lyrics

[Dean's vocal]
Old gold
Cold in the sand
To the hand
Lead in the head
Three lanterns of veiled light shone bright
Altered Closed sight
Wouldn’t grant permission
Transmit my submission
Premonitions dreamed earned no remission
Fires raged
Flared But gave no heat
Smoking
Writhing
Rhythms blue
That wrapped the world
Whirled it around
Revolved it around
Involved only me and you
Stuck to a timeline that closed us down
Glued us to ground
Mystical historical histories we adhered to
Like lyrical stars
Silks mellow as yellow
Like a sunny days torn daisy chain tangled across a purpled universe
Inverse
Diverse
Reverse
Divorced of everything but me and you
Threatened thunder
Lightening
Sparkling
Crackling
Frightening
Filled with electric melodies
Eclectic symphonies
Selected memories
Trapped in diaries
Bound in books
Wrapped in words we’d sworn to strike out
Score through
Ink linked single greetings
Lost times that rejection dejection
Our eventual defection
Healed over for you and me
Rising acres of sky upturned as I drove with inverse eyes
Making fields of the cosmos
A vacuum void of land
Solid in the secret air
Drenched by the scattered scrawling moon
Swinging swiftly up or down
Around and around the secret orbit of invisible but tangible you
Spread icily thin
Vague as dusted shadows imprinted on me by you
Which actually I never knew
Until then In the dark dusk of another dark dusk not you
And all the stars woven across silken orange night
Don’t
Somehow
Make that right
Until now
In the dark dusk of another morning
Another morning
Ever
Ever
Not
you


Beneath a roof of rainbows
Adrift storm whipped seas
Clouds were ashen Wind ripped
Gripped broken memory
Colours Hadron collided
Anti matter jig-sawed apart
Reality had ended
Forced heavy atmospheres to depart
He saw knives as red roses
Stab retina pierce heart
Bleed everyone
Everything
Parched
He saw moons as orange daylight
Grim rays pare flesh from bone
Peel scars beyond recovery
Haunted ghosts who would not roam
He saw suns as yellow light
Dark scalded beams that wrecked dreams
Kept experience at bay
He saw leaves as green flints
Tear loose
Fly the tree
Sail a sylvan spinning gale that spun
Sped free
He saw light as blue rust
Broken rooms where chandeliers fell from ceilings
Scattered dust
He saw print as indigo ink
Mark pages
Type stories he toiled in as feeble failed art
He saw veins as violet violence
Cross cracked across skin
Torn clawed and sliced
Prismatic diamond talons
Driving tearing in

[Huw's vocal]
I walk alone
To Borough Hill
Through steep valleys
The drool of beasts
Thick with earth
Grinding cold
Life slows

An ancient wall
To shore a kill
Witches bottle
Release the spell
Spirit dissolve

All my kings and queens
Poison my dreams
And poison my forests
And I can't hear
Hear the truth anymore

Then on a good day
Heaven on Earth
The clear song of grasses
The magnetic force
The shifting of tides
Nothing left but the outline

How I reach for
The warmth of the sun
At the height of summer
I feel
The tilting of the fluid in my eyes
Slipping over the way

Blood drain away
Drain away
Drain away

Blood drain away
Drain away
Drain away

Blood drain away
Drain away
Drain away

Blood drain away
Drain away
Drain away

Blood drain away
Drain away
Drain away

Blood drain away
Drain away
Drain away

Blood
River of tears
