lyrics

As dawn broke o’er the day,
I made my way to Navity Wood,
Two gentlemen, aghast the sight of me,
A spectre where I thought I stood.

No single wave dashed over the black rock,
No gulls with hungry blood cries;
My bones scattered, like seaware on the shore
Ere the fall of the tide, in the morning.

I knew them both by name,
And called out in a voice full-clear,
“Good sirs, I know who killed me,” My breath lost, sightless, to the air.

No single wave dashed over the black rock,
No gulls with hungry blood cries;
My bones scattered, like seaware on the shore
Ere the fall of the tide, in the morning.

“Good sirs, I know who killed me,”
A spectre whispered to the air.

After an extremely emotional, documentary-esque journey, this final track had me in tears. The coalescence of the artist's voices, one from years ago & one captured relatively recently, creates such a rich and emotionally complex listening experience. What an incredible album! Matthew Grouse
