lyrics

bring back the dying to life
shame on me if i don’t give myself to the world
i am everybody’s disciple
teaching my crippled mind while it's heavy as iron
ah you swines

so far in my dying
there has been
twice i was alive
as the river shivered, then the sea screamed (with us)
do you remember these?
please, let it have been
how it will one day be

so let’s bring back the dying to life
shame on me if i don't give myself to the world
and in the end there'll be smiles
recollecting the joys that we plugged into our lonely holes

so far in my dying
the murk has revealed
twice i was alive
beyond meditated streams
i need you to remember
what you never believed
that the beauty i saw in you
is real

(24/7 Magazine - 4.5/5)

"Exciting times lay ahead for Johnny Powell and co."
(BBC Introducing)
