Lyrics

Rocked by the rumours of the unknown
This corner town was scared to the bone
So many missing, some of them found
The stories that came out shook the ground
Covered by hair and wings on it's back
It left behind a death trail so black
We saw it's red eyes glow in the dark
The ancient curse, so true and so stark

We got to pray
For it lurks ...
We are it's prey
For it lurks ...
You lived today
But will die tomorrow
The curse shall stay
For it lurks ...

Everyone called it the wrath of God
A judgement delivered, a hellish nod
For the stench of death kept growing strong
And the superstitions were not wrong
We are being watched and marked we are all
We can sense doom and we will all fall
None will be left and none will be spared
Death shall walk tall, so you be prepared

We got to pray
For it lurks ...
We are it's prey
For it lurks ...
You lived today
But will die tomorrow
The curse shall stay
For it lurks ...

There was no hero
No God in sight
All that we had was
The absence of light
There was no saviour
No king, no knight
All that we had was
The presence of night
This night would not end
For it was born
It's hunt for us townsfolk
Was violent porn
It has no mercy
It will not warn
It was nothing else
But the Devil's thorn

We got to pray
For it lurks ...
We are it's prey
For it lurks ...
You lived today
But will die tomorrow
The curse shall stay
For it lurks ...

For it lurks!
For it lurks!
For it lurks!
For it lurks!

It lurks ...

Songs from the edge of somewhere. Bluesy, soulful rock with roots in folk and blues, shaped by years of traveling and chasing sound.

My debut album Strange Part of the Country earned ★★★★ from Q Magazine, a Blues Matters cover feature, and reached #3 on the U.S. Alternative Radio Chart, with airplay on BBC Radio 2, WWOZ New Orleans, and KROQ Los Angeles. Peter Green (Fleetwood Mac), Marc Ribot, and Danny Thompson have all been part of the journey.

I’m now finishing a new album with Marc Ribot, Tchad Blake, and Danny Thompson — music that digs deep, raw and real.
