lyrics

Canary in the mine, Canary in the mine.
If he doesn't sing, then run.
Right on back the way that we came.
Echoing and rattling the walls are caving in.
You're leaving him behind. You left the canary behind.
Did you not remember his cage?
When you made your hasty escape?
Echoing and rattling the walls are caving in.
The walls are caving in.

I saw Haress support Godspeed in Coventry over the weekend and haven't been able to stop myself thinking about their set. It doesn't surprise me that they turn out to be from Bishop's Castle because this is what the welsh border sounds like. Uncanny, unsettling, beautiful. Wonderful discovery, SteveC
