lyrics

URBAN PAGANS

12.21.12 was not the end of his world per se, but for Al it marked a transitional day>

When he felt the shudder or debt and doubt, the shiver free thought being shut out>

Unsure of his place in this burgeoning state, the climate change, the right-wing hate.

Millennial disconnect that year wore the coolest darkest most cynical pair of shades.

For when it's dark it's dark, when it's dark, it's dark, the blind will lead the mind will feed the blind.

03.08.19 every fear has come to pass, for Al, this disconnect is what it is now.

28 Ristretto's drank in the Fleet Street branch of the Caffe Nero chain, everyone here is wired conforming uglay and insane.

Al knows though, a better world as seen through lucid eyes will never fade.

A pagan beauty can connect will surpass the coolest, darkest, most cynical pair of shades.

For when it's dark it's dark, when it's dark, it's dark, when it's dark it's the darkened darkening night.

But when it's dark it's dark, when it's dark, it's dark, the blind will lead the mind will feed the blind.

And when it's dark it's dark, when it's dark, it's dark, when it's dark it's the darkened darkening night.

And when it's dark it's dark, when it's dark, it's dark, when it's dark we will turn and we'll embrace a different light.

Among the most uncompromising bands of the last few decades, Band Of Holy Joy drifted from experimental music to the folk music of an industrial age and cabaret until - after a brush with fame on Rough Trade - they embraced a poetical lyricism steeped in social consciousness and wordplay worthy of the Beat Generation, all set against majestic tunes and the clarion call of vocalist Johny Brown. ... more
