Pilgrim, the world stretches yonder
Full of romance and wonder
Full of heartbreak and splendour.
Go, and may no foes surround you
Feral Titans not hound you
May no peril confound you.
And, though your pawprints lead far away from here
As lost in the wild realms you roam
Still, may you hear the call of the fireside
Still, may your journey bring you home.
Pilgrim, you forge every onward
Cut your path through the wild woods
Pass unseen and unheard.
Go, and may fair Fortune guide you
Lady Luck walk beside you
From Gods’ bright-burning eyes hide you.
And, though the winter storm blows you far off course
Adrift on the ever-changing Song
Still may the summer breeze see you find your tune
The cadence that falls where you belong.
And, though your pawprints lead far away from here
As lost in the wild realms you roam
Still, may your long road show you your own true heart
Until at last you turn to home.
All aboard the viking space train! A prog-rock-mass-murder-mystery in space and probably the best album from my former band, The Mechanisms. My top track: Thor Kofi Young
“Write The Soil Lighter” is full of beguilingly mysterious folk-adjacent music, shrouded in shadow and atmospherics. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 30, 2023
