Malory
02:54
|
|

|
by a lake so large it's called 'the sea'
a lady fair & wise standing silently
she hands me a blade,
the finest ever made
tell the tale well, it will never fade
four walls i know so well
spend every day in this prison cell
they're all i see in front of me
still a man can dream
call me Malory
here i can see such mystery
unfolding dreams in clarity
such wonders i will write,
of kings & queens & knights
here in my cell call me Malory

Ascension (bonus track)
03:44
|
|
||
|
i've been trying to reach you for all of my life, (at least so far)
now, as we start to descend,
is not the time to pretend we were ever just friends
our differences we suspend,
as we at last comprehend
what it means to ascend
now, as we start to descend,
it's not the time to pretend we were ever just friends
now, as it comes to an end,
little heartaches will mend,
as we start over again

Strangers No More
03:01
|
|
||
|
We were strangers, but we’re strangers no more
Can’t we go back to how things were before?

i don't remember right now,
just who said what,
why, when or how.
I don't remember right now,
maybe i did something wrong,
or it may have been you all along,
I must admit that i'm not sure,
and neither are you anymore,

The Wood Between Worlds
03:24
|
|
||
|
the wood between worlds,
no one knows where we are
just stick to the path and don’t ever stray too far
I may never have thrown a stone at your bedroom window
and you never called down from your balcony,
if you ever spoke a word,
well it wasn’t one I heard,
let alone a whole soliloquy
the world between worlds,
no one knows we’re here
just stick to the path and we’ve nothing left to fear
I may never have thrown a stone at your bedroom window
and you never called down from your balcony,
but if anyone insists that a truer love exists,
they’ll have to go a long long way to see

Perspective
04:48
|
|
||
|
picture yourself where you want to be,
how did you get here, can you tell me?
you really need to see these things through -
what will happen, if you don't or you do?
change your view, change of view
when you talk about change it's only air
that's why talk is so cheap, there's no substance there
will you look back with no regret,
or will you always try to forget?

Our History
04:05
|
|
||
|
how quickly the mind starts to unwind it's amazing the things you find you looked over the edge and didn't like what you could see so i don't find it strange when you shift the blame on me there's no coming back from those places those things you think i did and said only happened in your head our history (for what it's worth) what passed between you and me those precious moments to you meant nothing to me i'm not scared to say i love you and i would if it was true.

Jackdaws, Ravens, Rooks & Crows
As every little schoolboy knows
Hide their treasures way up high
Far from Magpies greedy eye
Jackdaws, Raven, Crows & Rooks
Never learned such things from books
Instinct taught them all they know
Jackdaws, Ravens, Rooks & Crows

if you like shoegazing and slightly dreamy goth, you might have a listen, what Ian did with a guitar still wipes me out to this day

O.S.T. to the Strangest Party Ever

Our mate Koenig does some pretty ambient soundscape stuff too, but Bandcamp is the perfect home for his catchy retro electronic stuff.

April Love / Downfall (2 Track Tape-Only Release)
by Spellbound
First time as a band in a studio, a product if it's age, a full baggy beat with a sonic guitar layered throughout. If you like Lush and the Cocteaus you might want to have a listen.
