lyrics

I found a tree
Golden
Bigger than the world
Roots of iron
Branches molten
I tried to tell everyone
But no-one would believe me

But there it stands in my sky
Can’t just be blood receding from my eye
It never moves, blots out the sun
The Moon she plays there where the silver runs

Clouds and waterfalls
Stars glitter, eagle calls
Kitty Moth fly so high
Away from all the false God’s lies

They carry chainsaws, bombs and desire
Warlike machinery, tools of fools and liars
They’ve come to cut her golden branches down
Smash the living timber to shards upon the ground

Angels are calling!
Falling!
Fire in heaven!
Falling!
Dead are returning!
Falling!
Ashes will smother!
Falling!

Nothing left of what we had this morning
The world of air and water gone - no warning
Oceans turned to steam, the day to midnight
Above it all the optimates feel alright!

We set the world alight
Bring us the money
Cinders and honey!
Blood and currency!

Bring it all, then we will see
What crumbs might fall to you
The many crushed by the greed of the few

We watched the sunlight falling on your dappled leaves
We came from Procyon, Cygni and Leylande
We saw your planet dying, greed and misery
Your Lords abandoned you to forces they unleashed
In the end you were betrayed
Your souls enslaved

Universe turns
Twelve thousand years
The star returns
To blood and tears
The ancient stones
Xirabreşkê
The broken bones
The lost unseen

When you look up to the stars
What do you see?
The belt and sword of Orion
The mystery
Do you see a billion years?
Or nothing at all?
Is it the mirror of your fears
Star speckled blackened wall

All
Things
Come

All
Things
Come

Like all musicians I wished I had the same number of limbs as an octopus. My wish was granted, but not in the way I had hoped for. My cephalopod partner is an enthusiastic volunteer from the worldwide animal charity Save Humans From Themselves. We share a special kind of love. ... more
