about

This track was written and recorded whilst in the third week of the coronavirus lockdown.
Musically it was produced as a means of escapism from the extraordinary situation that we have all found our selves in.
lyrically it has been a collaboration between Sam Read & Laurence Taylor
These are challenging and scary times we are living in, we believe we should be helping the most vulnerable people in society right now, as such all profits from this track will go to Bury Hospice.

lyrics

Words carried from the past
upon my shoulders like atlas stones
Thoughts and dreams, in a way a reality
Tired bones, they bend and give
at the edge of the unknown

Hard toil
Without cessation
Winters
Stripped of life
Haunting
The greying land
Trapped in
The dying host.

But if there is no hope of claiming back,
We can at least have our revenge.
We have a chance still to be cruel
And reap the seeds they made us sow.

Justice
Over
Tyrant
Classes

Gallows
Guillotine
Pillory
Stoning

no light escapes, what you were is now frozen in time
As you descend, you become part of the redshift
All this time you carried the weight of time
Now you're left fragmented, displaced
