about

This is the first single release from my forthcoming album, 'The Killing Chill'. It is a song of the cycles of life, and of the hope that is always present, despite the darkness.

lyrics

Elemental

Plant before the rains
Plant before the rains

The earth
Cold against my skin
Cold but a place
Where hope can grow

As we plant our seeds
When spring comes round
Do we imagine the day
We will lie within?

We cannot know
If the seeds will grow
In ground where life can rise

Can we look into the seeds of time
And say which grain will grow
And which will not?

Plant before the rains
Plant before the rains.

Sow after the frost
Sow after the frost.

That we may begin
Again….
