Brother 03:36
lyrics

Brother My brow is quivering, filled with light of angels But sometimes in the night, I feel a sense of danger The past comes in haunted dreams A figure from my childhood The menace of a thousand nights Spent in shivering silence You were meant to be my light Brother you weren’t meant to fight You were supposed to protect me then Brother, karma’s got its revenge As I slept, you kicked my bones I shivered there, a little child You were meant to be my friend Oh brother, you were meant to defend The soul it prays to be made whole But life it cuts just like a knife

Patriot Song 03:38

Patriot Song The Thames does flow inside my soul I’ll fill it up with rusted gold A patriot cry, a wizened wire, I won’t be slipped back into lies A wounded tree, an empty field, a meandering river and a seal A spike they pinned inside a weir, a turtle it swam out from under here Love is old this creature’s cold What we must do is break the mold A faded cry, a distant sigh, I wrote a poem back in time I feel the streets, they talk to me Loaded up, I don’t feel my feet The stems they grow, the river flows Destiny changes all we know Our memories fade, they dance away, into a celluloid decay How far we came, I dived to our shame A brilliant mind, a wasted decline And love may be open, your flag may be broken Exposed all your feelings, my heart off the ceiling And the soul may order And the mind’s disorder The hollowest feeling This city is gleaming

Hollow 03:12
lyrics

I won't love the roots twisted under your feet A bed of crusty thorns swept beneath the sea Fallen cruel love, time will breed the dove Owls eat toxic dust, I won't need a drug Fallen, taken, sparks flow in time and the load I went through I'm hollow like the sun, burning everyone The trees they drop their leaves, in my darkened dreams Propagate your love, my teeth are aching now Calling out your thoughts Subtle and unbought Fallen, broken, time goes so slow I'm in reverse mode of my flow

Holy holy night 03:35
lyrics
buy track
When the silence is sombre, I wake up in my sleep And the glass is empty, my ceiling has a leak You may say you may do, you may feel my song Cos I wake at 4 am to feed your soul I may fall Fire burns through my heart, through my body and soul Causing me to erupt my fiery goals And I burn It's a lonely lonely night when the moon is out of sight The stars are dripping like it's a holy holy night Talk to me girl cos I've fallen for your style Love it burns so deep it makes us turn And I wake from my slumber People on the streets And a youthful wonder Love is all we need
