lyrics

It’s cold behind
It’s cold ahead
The world is now white winter
All that was is now long dead
There’s no time for reflection
The creams they have begun
For those that lurk in daylight
Stand tall when summers done

It’s not beyond the realms of possibility
That all you’ve been accustomed to is temporary
What lies beyond the corner of your street is never known
You’re not a god, not divine; you are just flesh and bone

The dripping water taunts you
Long deep into the night
The velvet darkness holds you
But it’ll not let you sleep tight
There are no safe havens left
Just a long march for a bed
You’ve got to keep on moving
All your yesterdays have fled

It’s not beyond the realms of possibility
That all you’ve been accustomed to is temporary
What lies beyond the corner of your street is never known
You’re not a god, not divine; you are just flesh and bone

The futility is breaking me
I’m losing all my family
But I can’t give up
I won’t lay down today
Tomorrow the sun may bring some warmth
As we journey onward to the north
I have to hope
That all our prayers are heard

Hold us
Hold us in your arms
Hold us
Hold us in your arms
We pray
We pray

You’ll never know
You’ll never understand
The world turn just so many times
Before it changes hands
They’ve taken what was yours
This land that was your home
Your gods will travel with you
Until there’s nowhere left to roam

You’ve been pushed into the margins
You’ve been replaced by something else
Your bones will be forgotten
Until their sitting on a shelf
Your ancient ways
Have had their days
Forwards the way the future plays
You had your time and lost the race
Living and dying in the ice age

Mike Kershaw Wakefield, UK

My music is for the most part atmospheric progressive rock but I leave myself free to drift in any musical direction I choose within the structure of an album.
The songs explore a range of emotions but have a melancholy core whilst still remaining powerful and lyrically interesting. ... more
