Keening

I know how to die, Yet I am here still, battle worn, My purpose not fulfilled. A song is calling and still, I am here

No More
Greet
No more, no more, no more The bell will chime for us no more We will heed the toll no more Give me blankets of trees And carpets of leaves I have begged and plead let us meet with our need But I’ll bow to greed no more You say you cannot trust us But ha’nt given us a chance The privilege of safety should be more than circumstance We only get one go around this world to which we’re bound And we are seeing it tormented, scattered and burned

The Leather Knight
Greet
When I wake at the witching hour A dreamless vision The veil is thinning Ever speaking, ever seeking And I find myself asking now what have I done Their whispers grow louder, and roar into cries To stop their wheel turning We must now be seeds Bloom even in darkness Sprawling, wild, unique The plough is ours, and so is the reaping For our willing sacrifice A promise keeping And I find myself asking now what can be done Take aim at the masters, bring their reckoning I’ll share with thee, secrets that they keep Steal through the twilight, to their fortress walls Let loose the warhorse, and take the Leather Knight

May
Greet
Their eye as fair as the bluebell That does so heartily greet the new Spring A song as sweet as a blackbird And gentle as the breeze A solace ‘tween the hedgerows My limbs are wrapped and bound unto thee While the worlds winds are howling A sun will always dawn Come in, come in, make well with me Let’s dance while the sun is shining Come in, come in, we’ll drink again Let us dance while the sun it is shining When the night does fall The joyous demons begin to cry With worries I need not reminding We share with the light of the constant fair moon When I’m done let me lie with thee Plant a tree as my headstone and bear it no name So my spirit lies truly with the stone and the rock With the moss covered branch and leaf A home now for the songbird Fell wood to fuel the fire Fruit for upon the table A shade which to retire

The Seer
Greet
I’ll walk with thee through pasture and moor To the forests far from our door Through dappled sunlight to the call of the trees To see what the seer sees To see what the seer sees I ask for my future, they know of my past They fill us with hope though it may not last Please heal my bones and soothe my mind Give me all the answers I’ve come to find Give me all the answers I’ve come to find Your path may be long and laden with foe Battles may come but you’ll never be lone Make love and make song wherever is home And a wisdom will come as sure as dawn crows And a wisdom will come as sure as dawn crows Now I see what the seer sees Now I see what the seer sees All ye seek shall be found in thee Now I see what the seer sees

Eulogy
Greet
We’d wait at the roadside then roll into town The mill was for drinking, no work to be found, If the mill wasn’t taking we’d head underground Imbibe in the wastelands and the rubble around A year and more passed with barely a word Our reason was just, just from what I’d heard When you left did you find peace or take turmoil with you? Did you get to feel freedom before your last breath? Our youth wasn’t folly, Our joy it was real The nights we’d spend wasting were never in vain, I know if I could I would do it again, Thank you for showing me love!

‘I Know How To Die’ seeks to find solace, beauty and magic between chaos and tragedy. Harmonium driven drones and melodies combine with pastoral singing to create its distinctive brand of poetic, dark folk. Meditative drums weave with moments of flute, bells, strings and guitars to take you from moors, woodlands, taverns and ancient battlefields.

This is music that is emotionally honest, a way to process and engage with trauma and find healing. There is a wanting for peace but knowing it won’t come without action, harkening to revolutionaries throughout time, from the revolters of the Middle Ages, to the PAL action activists of today as well as the reckoning of self.

‘I Know How To Die’ will be available on limited edition Yellow Marble or Black Vinyl , and Orange Marble Cassette . Pre order info below
