Seek and find Golden leaf I have found On these streets See you around And don't mind me Seek and find Dollar dime Broken cup For my sup Once proud I'm on my knees I am home I am home Seated down together Seated down together Seated down together Lights among the heather Lights among the heather Lights among the heather I am here I am home Seek and find Home and peace Lay my grave On these streets Lay me down And make a wreath Mountain light And heather greens
4.	Blank Gaze 04:36	lyrics
Heel bow Shawl to crown Woolen wings Stretched proud 'til by knaves We were found Steal now Steal now They've called The slave hounds Gun shots Fire drowned Climb forth The rock is sound Ohh Lay down Lay down If you wanna come at me come at me come at me come at me come at me come at me You best be strong Hound, hound Mire marsh Drowned ground Hound, hound We'll run We'll run Bodies stir, in red dawn Teeth bared Lines drawn Wolf comes To take the fawn Oh, oh Say come If you wanna come at me You come at me And come at me And come at me And come at me And come at me You had best come strong Say come If you wanna come at me You come at me And come at me And come at me And come at me And come at me You had best come strong I know What vile Seeds you’ll sow In salt fields Where nothing grows Oh, Oh Say come… If you wanna come at me… Fist raised; bodies thrown Gritted teeth Flesh torn Bloody pools and Broken bones A blank gaze

about

Changing Tack is a live, alt-folk EP about semi-mythological domestic difficulties that sounds a bit like the Witcher 3 soundtrack but with powerful vocals, trad instruments, world percussion and modern production.

about

Bladderack Wexford, Ireland

Bladderack, a name chosen for its guttural sound, are multi-instrumentalists Matthew O'Brien and James O'Sullivan, vocalist Doireann Waters and percussionist Chris Cullen. With haunting, sharp-smooth vocals, Afro-Celtic percussion and a melodic soundscape like a haunted spaghetti Western, Bladderack sound like when you fall asleep after playing the Witcher with drink taken. ... more
