lyrics
The Old King (from "The Window") – David Elias
Hear them cheering for your dying day
See them wipe your feet with dust and clay
Never mind the near ones where they lay
Memories of clear ones there they stay
There they stay
See them clear away your open grave
Watch them lower you down into place
Night will pass eternal into space
While the sun burns coins laid on your face
On your face
Consciousness returns to summer's eyes
Windmills spin their patterns thorugh the skies
Heavy air returns to times gone by
No one meets your gaze or even tries
Even tries
Crows in pairs are sentries to your doom
Watchers of the seeds you plant too soon
Blackining the sky they leave no reoom
For the sun to shine down on your tomb
Hear them cheering for your dying day
See them wipe your feet with dust and clay
Never mind the near ones where they lay
Memories of clear ones there they stay
There they stay
See them clear away your open grave
Watch them lower you down into place
Night will pass eternal into space
While the sun burns coins laid on your face
On your face
Consciousness returns to summer's eyes
Windmills spin their patterns thorugh the skies
Heavy air returns to times gone by
No one meets your gaze or even tries
Even tries
Crows in pairs are sentries to your doom
Watchers of the seeds you plant too soon
Blackining the sky they leave no reoom
For the sun to shine down on your tomb

David Elias recommends:
-
Intricate, exacting, sonically meticulous, extemporary in all its planning, takes you into a room then into a field then into the void.

Because of a Flower
by Ana RoxanneBought the vinyl. Spectacular use of sound with some insane vocal tracks overhead.
go to album -
Start at the end and play it backwards. Or forwards. Sideways either way. Squarely unsquare and rapidly descending. Captured.
