Two Wrongs 06:09
It's coming on strong And I’m on my own Two worlds and a colossus of roads The nights’ expanse As the freight train rolls The eternal hour, is the distance I know This fast freedom is home Rivers snake past East of highway 99 The desert sun, and vastness collide. Tehachapi Mountains; gold on every side Here I wake to the stars and to the railway lines This is my debt Where these two worlds collide This fast freedom is home Its coming on strong Its coming on strong Fields of corn Still the freight train rolls on Blood red moon Still the freight train rolls on Within me a part Of every vagabond forgone A shadow in history is an angel undone Graffiti carved into the box cab walls Here I have no past, I’m just travelling through This fast freedom is my home Its the life that I choose As I ride, as I ride, as I ride Its coming on strong Its coming on strong Its coming on strong Its coming on strong Free Free me

Seven Years 06:06
It was three O’clock in the morning When I found myself outside In the distance a new days’ beginning How can I quell this feeling And your love, I carry it with me Every letter is bound in twine How can I keep this feeling When I can’t hold onto time Seven years to grow Seven years to go back Seven years to grow Seven years to go back Now the stillness encases the shadows And the birds have all taken flight For all the years that pass us by The love that remains is still mine Seven years to grow Seven years to go back Seven years to grow Seven years to go back

Suicide was never a part of this mission Oh to reach the top of the mountain rise And deep in the fuel of a wild ambition Prosperity knows how to undo every mile I need to move, beyond the longing of my mind I need to move, beyond the chaos of mankind And I came here, with a virtue so simple And I came here, into the wild And I came here, with a virtue so simple And I came here, to leave it all Oh I feel the night, wrap itself around me And a darkness so intensely, A friend you never knew was there. leading me on against my back, Leading me on along this empty track. I need to move, beyond the city, the streets, beyond the refuge I need to move. And when ask you me, well what do you do I’ll tell you that I climb And I came here, with a virtue so simple And I came here, into the wild And I came here, with a virtue so simple And I came here, to leave it all Amylase Amylase

The Preselis 07:46
The blue stones, they grow over me Carved into mountains, the blood of need The darkness is parted inside dreams Immortal silhouettes, burnt beneath Lay the body down Lay the body down Talk freely, walk with me. With their hands, my body does rise A gift, a gift, a gift of sky Why should I obey Resurrection, reclamation, decay Lay the body down Lay the body down Talk freely, walk with me. Anima Anima Anima Animus Animus Animus Lay the body down Lay the body down Lay the body down Lay the body

about

Dharma emphasises an exploration into various facets of the meandering nature of the subconscious. Through philosophical, thematic narratives encompassing notions such as the innate search for freedom, the deep intricacies of love and the mysticism of the neolithic age, Dharma evokes an ethereal landscape to lose oneself to, venturing forth into what it is to feel; what it is to be.
