Travelling Song 04:07
lyrics

I know I've been wondering for miles Drifting in the tessellating mire Meaning I discover in this life Leave me to my own, yes I mind Let the wind take me Blow me out to sea I know all about these purple bruises I know all about these scars and scrapes The road doesn't always hold me softly It may choose to strike at me some days Let the water consume me Throw me up against the earth For some the road becomes a hateful burden Shards of glass stinging at their feet Still they walk, spiteful at their hurting For it is inconceivable to stay Let the road open before me Take me o'er spring and mountain Let the earth steady underneath me Take me home to rest by my fire Let the wind take me Blow me out to sea Let the water consumer me Throw me up against the earth By my fire

Living Forest 02:07
lyrics

Listen as the treetops Dance in time with me The forest is awakening Opens its eyes to see The flora and the fauna Inquisitive and free They do not mind a traveler's kind Passing amongst the trees The shining of the morning dew The sun is up, its time is due The cool wind blows into an afternoon Night does fall, day heeds its call Into a dusky hue The moon hangs overhead The stag lies in his bed Birds' cries have echoed and died Into the quiet night The shining of the moonbeams now Serve just to illuminate how The forest lives and breathes and has it's being We are only travelers here And soon we must depart

Wild 03:00
lyrics

Emerald and violet in the sky The moon is ever brighter in the night There's a holy mountain rising higher There's a sacred music in the fire There are no flowers here But in the light of a setting sun We will not fall prey To fear A forest full of secrets beckoning Dark and ancient mystery The gentle and the wild and the free The violent and cold and the dead trees There are no creature comforts here But in the light of a moonlit dream We will not fall prey To fear Did God take eternity to paint the whole world? I hear there's a demon inside every boy and girl Maybe there's an angel too Maybe there's an angel too

Dark Forest 03:22
lyrics

Watch the day fade away Night does come Shadows lengthen and change And become one There are no stars to see In this realm The darkness is complete And overlong Where are we found In the night realm Where do we go Follow moonglow We let Luna guide our way We've little choice Our hands and feet have grown cold There is no joy We come to a riverbend It speaks our names We move stone and earth to set A fireplace Where are we found By our fire We will move on When it's brighter

Snow Wolf 03:33
lyrics
buy track
Vulnerable but powerful Elegant and strong Snow Wolf howls a melody Ethereal moonsong The forest is his hunting ground A secret den his home The scent of blood is hunger Fearless to his bones Full moon In the shadows Snow Wolf waits for Darkness to set The he roams As the sun is setting The air is cold and still Emerald moon is rising A hunter's set to kill Brothers and comrades Enemies and prey The Queen of Light is guiding A Snow Wolf on his way Full moon In the night night time Amber eyes glow Watching, waiting Ere we roam

about

Over the course of 2016 we wrote and produced Blood and Bone, River and Stone. All mastering was performed by C. Vincent and artwork was painted by Kris Taylor. Lyrics and music were all created solely by C. and Kris, save for O Son Do Ar, which is a classic Irish piece.

We would like to thank God for the inspiration and motivation behind this album, as well as the support of our friends and families, especially Sheena, Ross, Rebecca, Ashlee, Aurora, Michael and Amalia.
