I am the dark light
And I am walking these halls again
And I am fraught with the hourglass
And I…
And I am standing beside
But how long can I keep living within limits
Hemmed in by the rigors of halting, without
Another day with steady clout
Animal reasons come get you
Pillars are falling to the ground
Not all of us moving together
Am I the one who dulls your shine
Skin that outstretches its welcome
Am I confined, some kind of child
To stand in your shadow forever
Places we take with steady clout
Famished for creature and comfort
Fever is coursing through my veins
Maybe we belong here together
Is this the way it has to be
Is there a choice in the matter
I'd rather die with steady clout
Than live, the only way to be living
The only way to be, with steady clout

Brilliant union of early music and rock. Strong Cardiacs vibes. I find a lot of chamber rock to be meandering and aimlessly angular. However this stuff is different, the compositions are extremely tight and diverse. The instrumentation is sparse and rickety, but has these brilliant flashes of grandiose orchestration, it's very balanced. I don't think I've heard a more successful integration of early music into modern forms before. Absolutely a modern masterpiece of progressive "weird" music. impressivelad
