Here's another new song by me, which again I've recorded in rough home demo form for now. You can watch the little slideshow and hear the rough demo in the usual place, http://www.myspace.com/finsburytunes (it's the first MyspaceTV screen of the two). Hope you like it! 
Old man, these are your ember days, I know
When the hawks go swooping low
In the tattered twilight glow
And you’d be marching into war
For fear they’d scavenge at your door
Oh, how you burned your garden down
How you burned your garden down.
Pale girl, these are the days light wanes and dies
Black ravens star your eyes
And hear the scream where silence lies
You’ll face a falling sun
Until their feast is made and done
Oh, how they stole the sweetest, flowered ground
How they stole the sweetest, flowered ground.
Knifemen, these are my last of days, so, swarm:
The crows will now perform
Their swirling in the storm
But I’ll embrace the dark at end
And find my nemesis my friend
Oh, how I’ll lay, where the lotus bud is found
How I’ll lay, where the lotus bud is found.
