about

Inspired by the vast mythological landscapes that stretched across West Wales, ‘The Preselis’ incarnates an ancient pilgrimage, written in devotion to this breadth of land mapped by stone circles, prehistoric megaliths,
dolmens and cairns. The song explores notions of morphic-resonance and collective consciousness inherent in ancient, neolithic civilisations. Drawing upon the impulse that archaic energy, as layers of geological sediment, can be held by a landscape, this song offers a passage of resonance with such forces, through the slow surrender
of a transcendental state of consciousness.

lyrics

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

Animus
Animus
Animus

Lay the body down
Lay the body down
Lay the body down
Lay the body
