lyrics

The Death and Life of the Old Soldier

On the other side of the fog, Se’jus finished her work, the sweat of her brow beaming in the winter sun as she put down her hammer. “Well old soldier,” Se’jus started, “just look at yourself, your former glory is restored.” Se’jus smiled and marveled at her recreation, but her smile no longer rose to her sky blue eyes. Her smile, just like her spirit, sat in acceptance of the prevailing possibility of no return; for her and her husband. Tears brimmed on her eyes, as she lifted her weary hand to bring life into the old lighthouse. She gripped a lever with weathered fingers and pulled the soldier from deaths grip into light. As if the Pharos of Alexandria had been resurrected, the glow started to grow and as the lens spun the soldiers sight pierced the threshold of fog. Se’jus sighed and with her head down and a silent smile, she walked one last time down the spiraling stairs to the cottage, went inside and slept.

I love the smooth synths, and silk-like vocals over the mix. The psychedelic overtones are always on point. Love this band. Walking Relic

This is post punk at its finest. The roaring guitars and smooth synths over extrememly intricate percussion paired with John's vocal make a fantastic experience! Walking Relic
