lyrics

From ten thousand feet
in the air
we spiral down
we can see the temple
as we spiral
down and down until we settle
on the ground
dusty brown
against the sun
so bright we frown
we steal a car and drive
away from town
In the winding hills and secret groves
we leave our thoughts
and walk up and over
to the temple
hidden well

In the temple
stood a statue
so fair
amongst the columns
amongst the grass
that sprung from there
I could not imagine
I ever had a care
in the setting sights
of the book that we all read

o, open up
open up your book of cares
you can see the starlight there

o, open up
open up your book of cares
you can see the starlight there

o, open up
open up your book of cares
you can see the starlight there

up in
the fading light
something changes
from something to nothing

Cataclysm breaks
Columns tumble
Earth it shakes
We tremble

Panic humbled
We grip the earth
for terrors sake

where sunsets roam
and nothing but
the sound of stone

and all the danger
of an entrance
to the other world

he takes us
with the oldest hoax
wraps us ready
to be turned to smoke

- - - -

Press our faces to the ground
and wait until the dawn
hoof beats twist and turn
upon on our scorn

lost in the ruin
Quite another hill
we wake and find ourselves upon

- - - -

No words in our heads
There’s no story left
We wake on the ground
we feel dead
turn to the town
feet of lead
that carry us
we are the grime
we are the dust

about

Jody Barton Copenhagen, Denmark

Jody Barton was born and raised in the UK near London and now lives in Copenhagen. His rowdy and eclectic music calls to mind the post-punk and anarcho folk of Crass, Ian Dury & The Blockheads and just a little bit of Tim Curry. His latest project ‘Morris Maroon & Other Ballads’ is an open-ended work in progress both as a solo live set and recorded album.

Fade to greyhound.
