about

To all the beings enduring this unraveling…

lyrics

Wading out beyond the shore
Across the sea I leave them
Ignite the sky from dusk 'till light
Rising up to meet them
Waiting for to ride the wind
Catch a breath, begin again

Braiding strands with swollen hands
Weaving threads of silver sand
Against the body of the waves
It narrows then it feeds
Waves take what's in my hands
I offer you the sea

We run over passes, rocky scapes, woods and lakes
And a lone alibi, terrified that I no longer could try

The sun was out of the east
The light had released
And the howling had ceased
And the night was as grim as my dreams
I opened my eyes
And witnessed the scene

Heading out on a winter's day
Hid in plain sight and slipped away
We ran out of chances
The storm had arrived, and we were inside the eye
Death shapeshifter, undertaker

Wax and wane
Willow and cane
Water and drain
Like mountain and plain
Dusk and dawn
Buck and fawn
Weaving threads
Like spiders and webs

Worth listening and grabbing this piece of dark acoustic folk. I also like amara's art. Hopefully there will be a physical release in the future. Enchanting. Thank you guys! RottingChris

Occasionally you come across an album that really resonates with you and this is definitely one for me. Every song on here is full of such ethereal melancholy and beauty. Fast becoming a favourite of mine. Fin Doktor
