about

This song is loosely about the rail corridor that runs through Clementi Forest.

lyrics

Come locomotive chime your way
Gently into the ground
Tangle me, arrest my feet
Arise, emerge your crown

Waterhens survey your fens
Extending underneath
Growing as a channel bends
Slipping through their teeth

Iron heights reclaim their sprites
On the forest floor
Drifting through the morning dew
The semblance of a boar

Parallel, the banks they swell
Steeply in the rain
Whistling and wandering
Koels start to sing

Born for such
A golden hour
(Carnelian and bright)

Swallowed up
In mud and flowers
(Promethean guide)

Are grates that hold
Your winsome pride
(Carnelian and bright)

For man to trample
On your hide
(Promethean guide)

Born for such
A golden hour
(Carnelian and bright)

Swallowed up
In mud and flowers
(Promethean guide)

Are grates that hold
Your winsome pride
(Carnelian and bright)

For man to trample
On your hide
(Promethean guide)

Born for such
A golden hour
(Carnelian and bright)

Swallowed up
In mud and flowers
(Promethean guide)

Are grates that hold
