Silver City 04:39
Goodbye sleepy garden, farewell northern seas. For we'll have to slumber while the city crumbles to its knees. Goodbye Silver City, farewell affluence and gold. The tyrant's discontent it will never replace the memories they stole. Goodbye a decade of love and loss, farewell equality. I promise that you'll wake one day to salvage your former glory. They'll turn off, turn off their drills They'll turn off, turn off their drills.

February 06:11
February glows through the thunder and snow On a distant horizon loves tangled branches grow A violent mist blankets fields below The February sun will never ever show Your breath will escape your lips Into the night and into the mist February waits onboard a haunted freight Clicking down rusted tracks over this burnt out state All of these fraying wires over head infuse all these fields of hate February will always come too late Your breath will escape your lips Into the night and into the mist FebruaryComesTooLateFebruaryComesTooLate...

Love's flame is the most fleeting of all We have all the time in the world, still everyday we have less Every fold of you will unravel And those creases become like maps Between your fear and your symmetry Her heart ties ribbons around my tangled branches That if I ever lost her this red orchard will guide me home Between your fear and your symmetry Between your fear and your symmetry Between your fear...

Departures 05:46
Sometimes its hard to trust in this world Sometimes its easier if you just close your eyes Sometimes we don't care enough And sometimes I hate myself for that Depart to a place we understand Depart somewhere between Oslo and Islam Everything that comes together! Will be torn apart! In a wind of change! Our branches will sway! And they'll shake! They'll shake! And Break! Sometimes its easier if you just close your eyes

Sunsets & Silhouettes (free) 06:11
The sun will set behind silhouettes And the clouds will grow red For red is the colour of our love Red is the colour of blood You love and I, when the tyrants have won We'll evaporate into the sun Some memories are only lies And some memories won't die The anxious and scared, procession hearse We'll hold our breaths till our little hearts burst So either way we'll dwindle and blaze Take hope in our sorrowful days So either way we'll dwindle and blaze Take hope in our sorrowful days So either way we'll dwindle and blaze

The horizon is lost amongst the fog of our greatest torment Are gone, these telephone lines that connect our lives Their contorted shapes rip through the sky We'll dwindle & blaze Dwindle... Trees shape landscapes on misty fields But the tyrants will rip them down for their granite and steel Then where will we be but gaps against the pillow And this artificial light screaming through this hollow We'll dwindle & blaze Dwindle... We'll dwindle & blaze Dwindle & blaze
7.
Shellshocked watching the world burn Will we get through the night without killing anyone? When will this end, when our schools are white washed? And our prisons all look like Mosques?! The vultures, well they own the streets tonight Armed with false truths they forfeit their lives Your homes are a war zone In the cowl of the are the flaming drones Please go, please go Please go to what's left of your homes! PLEASE GO! PLEASE GO! PLEASE GO! TO WHAT'S LEFT OF YOUR HOMES! Mother, your child is a tinderbox Of blazing cars under your sovereign stars THERE'S NO POINT IN TRYING TO SAVE THIS.

REVIEWS:

"This is one release you seriously don’t want to miss out on and definitely one release YOU DO want to have a go before anyone else does. 10 Out Of 10 lads… Actually let’s make that 12 out of 10"

- The Siren Sound

"It soon becomes clear to the listener that The Dirt & The Trees is not a collection of songs merely thrown together. Rather, it is an entire work of art full of songs carefully crafted over a period of months until each and every piece of the puzzle has been meticulously put in its proper place. As such, The Dirt & The Trees is a stunning album; an album of cohesion and of deep meaning."

- Eoin Smith, Hercules Moments
