lyrics

From the North
darkness fell
These fires
start themselves

Cracked earth
Crying leaves
Your voice
carried by the breeze

Rough smoke
dusts my eyes
Your hand
guiding mine

Running wild
leave no trace
We go
through the haze

Sweeping forth, we're ablaze
These fires start themselves
Disintegrate the bad old days
These fires start themselves

From the North
darkness fell
These fires
start themselves

Cracked earth
Crying leaves
Your voice
carried by the breeze

Rough smoke
dusts my eyes
Your hand
guiding mine

Running wild
leave no trace
We go
through the haze

Sweeping forth, we're ablaze
These fires start themselves
Disintegrate the bad old days
These fires start themselves

Sweeping forth, we're ablaze
Disintegrate the bad old days

Another brilliant E.P, such great music. 'Everybody Knows' is a fantastic song but each track is awesome in it's own different way. kjhayes

It's refreshing to hear a sound reminiscent of my Favourite time in MUSIC... As a music producer myself...It feels so nice to listen to quality tracks that have their own individual quality !!! robgnicholsmusicfan

Sounds like the album could be in either a fashion show or a kinetic action movie from the 2010s and I mean that in a good way. Theres kind of a touch of VNV Nation in the sound as well as the stated nods. CS
