    A modern folk album inspired by graveyards, sea shanties and spaghetti western ride outs. A shadowy voice tells bittersweet stories of love and death to a soundtrack, composed with both traditional instruments and subtle electronics, somewhere between Appalachian folk-rock and a Morricone musical.

The human race needs to love the Natural World more.

lyrics

INNOCENT SPIRITS HARVEST MY TEARS FOR MY HEART IS A HUSK. EARTH SHE WILL DIE HERE SO TURN US TO DUST. INNOCENT SPIRITS OF OUR FLOCKS AND SHOALS. WOULD THAT THEY COULD FEED ON OUR DEAD MEN’S SOULS. OH STUNTED CONSCIENCE YOU BEG IN VAIN. SHAME IT KNOWS YOU BUT YOU KNOW NOT SHAME. GREED IT IS SILENT BUT I FEEL IT CREEP. SAVE ME THIS SORROW AND SEND ME TO SLEEP. I’M SO TIRED PLEASE JUST LEAVE ME. I DON’T WANT THE THINGS YOU WANT. SO CARRY ON AND PLEASE JUST LEAVE ME. LET ME REST INSIDE MY DREAMS. DIG DEEPER. WE FIGHT FOR THE SOUL OF THE EARTH. LOOK HIGHER. WE FLY AND TAKE TO THE AIR. JUDGE NOT YOUR SINS AS YOU STAND AT THE GATE. HEAVEN IS HERE YOUR GRIEF IS TOO LATE. IF NATURE WE PERJURE TIS OUR SELF DECEIVED. LOVE IT CAN SAVE US. I DO BELIEVE.
