They sank the sun
The wayward ones
They pulled it down
By rope homespun
An ocean of light
The sky given to night
The sun tethered by chain
Its lost its reign
A million stars
Pinprick scars
A sea risen
Is its prison
Beneath the waves
There's a giant cave
The sun rests in its nest
And the wayward ones fest
They dance with the fish
They've gotten their wish
The sun sits below
Never again to show

Beautiful and mysterious folk-adjacent songs from this UK outfit that wreathe delicate acoustic guitar in mist-like synths. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 10, 2021
