Tunneling all your life back to where you started, sometimes you have to stop digging . .
lyrics
Em
I’ve been digging this tunnel nearly all my life,
sometimes with a pick then a grapefruit knife
I’ve been scratching and scraping the earth till it hurts,
breathing in soil with my eyes full of dirt
Am
I’m a long way underground, I’m a guerrilla germ cell,
B7
I’m coming up for air from the boneyards of Hell.
Em
I’ve got, tube maps and blue prints and sewer designs,
I’ve studied ant passages, magnetic lay lines
I’ve been excavating bones, I’ve been digging a ditch,
I’m the mole hill in your backyard a scratch you can’t itch!
I’m a long way underground, I’m a guerrilla germ cell,
(Em) I’m coming up for air from the boneyards of Hell.
I’m deep down in the earth, but put your ear to the ground
(B7) I’m coming up with fire, sword, famine and sound
Em (loud instrumental, reverse guitar, Bass descending scale)
I’m a long way underground, I’m a guerrilla germ cell,
I’m coming up for air from the boneyards of Hell.
I’m deep down in the earth, but put your ear to the ground
I’m coming up with fire, sword, famine and sound
Em
I’ve been mining now for the last 20 years,
nothing to stop us but guns fists and tears
I’ve been excavating bones, I’ve been digging a ditch,
I’m the sink hole in your backyard a scratch you can’t itch!
Em open G
I’m alive and digging in this mine of bones
drunk and dancing in this yard of headstones!

“Strangers” is packed with wonderfully menacing electro-goth—late-night horror movie music for vampire dance parties. Bandcamp New & Notable May 8, 2023
Perfectly gloomy Norwegian goth/post-punk, anchored by a punchy rhythm section and driven by chiming guitar lines and morose vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 16, 2021
An epic dark rock record that will make fans of Sisters of Mercy swoon—massive chords and choruses, plus gothic grandeur. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 16, 2020
A work of considerable power and subtlety. Certainly a grower but I was hooked on first listen and it seems to improve on subsequent plays. Well done to everyone involved and good luck for the future, hopefully a long and successful future. simon1956smith
