Track Insight / Lyrics

Black loam clings to a heavy boot Digging deep for a dormant root Soli Solum in the winter cold Stories told in the heavy mold First light breaks on a rusted blade Price of peace is a debt now paid Dig the hole where the secrets grow Watch the green in the valley glow Silver birch with a peeling skin Where the ghosts of the war begin Latin names for the poison weed Sowing salt for a bitter seed First light breaks on a rusted blade Price of peace is a debt now paid Dig the hole where the secrets grow Watch the green in the valley glow Iron gates in the morning dew Copper wires cutting vision through Patience waits for the seed to wake Bending low for the spirit's sake Heavy clay and a steady hand Carving lines in a broken land One gold bloom in a field of grey Bringing hope to a dying day Water runs through a limestone crack Walking slow on a needle track Sedge and moss on a granite stone Coldest wind that a man has known First light breaks on a rusted blade Price of peace is a debt now paid Dig the hole where the secrets grow Watch the green in the valley glow Oak and ash in a steady row Waiting for the first wind to blow Sown in dark but the sun is near Washing out every trace of fear First light breaks on a rusted blade Price of peace is a debt now paid Dig the hole where the secrets grow Watch the green in the valley glow Root it deep in the valley floor. Open wide the garden door.
