lyrics

Birds

I’m on the streets ---
As apology.
Fodder for the birds ---
Night flock. Swoop. Disperse.

You and I will seek those places out the secret places of the Earth
If only I could hear Jesus tell me himself that he is still the light of this world

I hear the birds ---
Waiting to inherit the Earth.
From the power lines ---
Beady eyes assess my size.

And all at once I rejected sweet Death and regretted Her presence here
If only I can utter these six words to myself, “there is no need to fear”

I am not afraid --- O I am losing faith

I’m loosing faith ---
A little more every day.
So I wear their feathers ---
To show that I am not afraid.

A folk band in the broadest sense of the word; dogs of pop; self-taught musical ruffians who play to their own traditions. Reinventors of self and prone to playing their songs in a myriad of ways, join Silverlode on their mythological journey through history, future, fantasy and good times via their ever-evolving music.
