The Weavers You bid us come You, without thread or needle. You, who won't heed our price. If this be done, Your patchwork of Shadows, Deamons, They'll roll our earth like dice. Hear the waves roar, faster, Oh sisters, hold, our thread must last her. Away low, turning, The birth of her is mountains burning. So gaze on your master - His face, his word, your everafter, Fly!! Are you aware you've lost her? Your casual power, its own disaster. The fields are burning. The cloth is set. Your weave and weft, Your fire. .... Hear us. Your creator is no god For any mortal can give birth to what they please And conjur a gratitude unwarranted by deeds That you would gladly act out what they themselves cannot achieve But you have a choice Live as his ego's weapon or become who you were born to be and Fly

Beyond the Wall Her hands were bloodied when I found her, So mad and shattered, by the wall And through the crack that she had chiselled The silhouettes, of hundreds more. Oh buried deep inside stone circles she says she heard a childs call a song of lostness and of longing though he himself had built them all. And in the failing light I could only join her with all the strength and twilight that age might bring But for each brick we dug free, and tore asunder we heard still more being piled high, closing from within. It could have been the stagnant air, there that crushing space that altered tone For now no child's voice came Just the cold echo of stone. But she was crazed by her sorrow begged mortar “let him sing!” And when the walls themselves sighed She still heard him I could not tell her of his death Such dread truths slowly dawn And when my words couldn't find breath That fortress sang alone. And she dug on, in her madness Wild haired and broken boned Til she was torn from herself to the empty song of stones. When I buried her, a wreck from cruel shores That same baneful rock held her beneath the earth. Oh to unbuild our defences, and give our life it's breath Lest the children we murder, murder In the echoes of their death.

Into the Deep The grinding days sway empires stones, quiet, piled on graves As bricks and mortar dry the walls close ranks to sky. Under. The only way. Each of his repetitions His-story’s killing fields we fear our own life-breath death bids us meet our shadows yet (Chorus) we try and run 100 miles Dear sisters, hades beckons while those who chew on flowers starve dry Our ruined earth and womb go down down to windless tombs or try and run 100 miles. Dance with your deamons, sisters. Brothers take your fleshless bones is arm stare in those fearsome eyes to where our own reflections hide or try and run 100 miles. When we return, in ashes wear those cinders, black, burned, born look on those walls, those guards, those harrowed soldiers, weapons jarred Will try to run 100 miles.

Borderlands In the Borderlands we've barricaded bridges. We've armed young boys with guns and hollow eyes. Thier undernourished arms ache from the weapons Whose casualties are only thier own lives. I'm writing this, my love, because I miss you. The ache that takes the shape of you won't fade. I'd swim the rivers for your touch, one kiss But your face, your eyes, they hold that same dead gaze. The cliché goes, oh arm a man for fishing That he may eat in synch with all the tides. We arm our sons and daughters, young and willing with all the weight of our own broken lives. In the Borderlands we mourn our own division. We mourn our separation from ourselves. But it wasn't ever guns or plagues that robbed us Of how to open hearts or heal worlds.

about

Cloaked in the language of folklore, Chapter Zero explores the turning inward that happens when our worlds, as we knew them, are blown apart.

Please note, this will be a FULL LENGTH album. There are only 3 tracks here at the moment so that I can open the preorder, but there will be 9 delivered to you when the preorder is released.
NOTE: This will NOT be available on i-tunes, spotify, or any other site apart from bandcamp. This is because the aforementioned sites disembowel musicians for the sake of company profit. Bandcamp are the ONLY platform that ensure musicians themselves get a fair share of the money you pay. I'm old enough and ugly enough (as we say in New Zealand) to make such decisions, and I hope that more artists will foloow suit. Thank YOU guys for supporting us through bandcamp as that makes it possible for us to produce more music!
