One Way Trip
04:02

Call them back -
we weren't done
we had more to say.
And they don't know
the way out.
Tell me this is not
a one way trip.
Hold me back
I didn't know
they could hear us speak.
How could I have let
those words slip out?

Hit the Bottom
04:43
|

|
Hit the bottom,
hit the ceiling -
either way it feels the same
We called out to you
from far above
and as loud as we could -
but only once
Oh - you don't need to give up -
you never began
Oh - you don't need to give in -
there was never a plan

What They Said
05:02

You tried to help me to see
and I was all ears
You painted my face to match
the caves around us
But when I wrote my name on the wall
you just rubbed it out
I keep wondering just who was this all
ever really about
If you call me whatever you want
Should I care?
I've dug down as deep as I dare
I can't stay down there
I've tried to like your language
tried to like the way
your words taste in my mouth
But we keep digging down
the air is getting thin
this whole thing's going south
I feel like I've been breathing stone
feel like I'm never alone
I can't get what you said out of my head
Maybe you said nothing more
than the words that I was waiting for
maybe you meant more than you said
You can call me whatever you want
I don't care
I've climbed as high as I dare
and I can 't stay there

Iridescent
05:23

|
A fluttery, burning feeling -
I'm laughing, so joyous
to find you -
or someone.
My iridescence catches you -
the turn, the subtle look.
the smile, the involuntary step.
Come over here.
Leave off a beat.
Fill up the space.
Smile, stroke, press and lean.
My vision blurs,
I'm never wrong
Euphoria is easy.

Around in Circles
03:26

Well I'm glad this little talk
has been good for you,
you said to me
as we walked down the spiral staircase.
And the echoes in this room
have been so good for us.
They've kept us free
from any unwanted interference.
So at last now you can say
what I always knew you said -
what I wanted you to hear
as we walked down the spiral staircase.

Let Us In
05:21
|

|
Let us in to your cave
We've been walking all night
We can leave after we've rested for a while
But we'd rather stay if that's all right
Let us sit by your fire
We won't take up much space
Just pretend we're not there
Just don't look us in the face
You never really knew
That we were one of you
Until you let us in
Let us hunt for your meat
We'll eat what you leave behind
Take your pick of the kill
Just let us keep what we find
Let us join in your chant
We won't sing too loud
We won't use words you haven't heard before
We'll only say what you've allowed
Let us paint on your walls
Illustrate all you've achieved
We'll stay out of your way
We'll paint a picture they'll believe
You never really knew
That we were one of you
Until you let us in

The Narrows
04:41
|
|||
|
It’s getting narrower up ahead
We might have to crawl
We might have to crawl
on our bellies
Now I’m facing down
at the dirt
not forward
I’m not supposed to be here
The light is flickering
Don’t look up
Or bump your head
Is this the only way?

Take Another Look
05:36

I'm gonna find you.
I'm gonna find you.
Down there somewhere -
I know you're down there
This is the chase to break the tie my dear -
puzzle out the clues, sneak past the traps,
choke back our fears.
Just who is chasing who
has grown unclear.
You and I are masters of this game -
we've traded places, traded roles,
traded names.
Are you getting a little bit tired?
Yeah, I feel the same.
But I'm gonna find you.
I know you're down here -
somewhere so near.
I know you're down here.
This chase is all they'll let us call our own -
our private labyrinth of stone,
but I can't shake the feeling
we're not alone.
Who cares who wins -
who cares what we achieve?
If it stays like this
we should both just leave.
Even if we find each other
who would we believe?
If they ever find us ...
if they ever find us -
we're still down here
Then we're still down here

Silent Crowd
06:04
|
|||
|
We’re slinking about in the dark
not admitting that we’re blind
but telling each other that
we know the way.
“It’s a narrow path, my friend”
We’re tumbling off cliffs in the dark
We can hear them as they fall.
Don’t drag us down with you -
grab hold of the wall.
“You better watch your step, my friend”
We’re crawling along in the dark
Over cold rocks, through still pools -
drawn further down, further in.
“Your breath is ragged, my friend”
We’re together at last
Meeting in the dark
Part of the silent crowd
Gather round

Tunneling
02:56
|

Someday, we’ll be whole again.
Someday we’ll be safe,
held -
surrounded by velvet darkness,
limbs immobile
It’s at once quiet and loud
Particles entangled
twins rejoined

Another Kind of Midnight
by A Cloud of Ravens
supported by 4 fans who also own “Cavern”
New album from Brookland band ACOR, which has left me immediately captured and ready to dive into this deep pool. This record is a perfect blend of the homage to the past and the modern construction of the future. Well deep power and resonant vocals carry these stalking shadow woven songs. It's concrete wilderness and Peter Murphy poetry. Ringing guitars and driving basslines carry a heroic journey through a desolate land.
