Biting Through
(Fokas, Trench, Loftiss)

Music by Nikos Fokas, Alan Trench, and R. Loftiss. Melody conjured by tarot. Words inspired by the I Ching and Ahmed III's Sadâbâd Palace gardens.

“Without being overly opulent, their ritualistic, always slightly folky colored psychedelia brings together the most diverse elements, elements that should actually seem heterogeneous and bulky, but always harmonize in a wondrous way.” – African Paper

lyrics

On the path
On the travertine path
By candle light
By tortoise light
With the hills all on fire
With the mountain burning so bright
Through fields of poppies
Straight through the night
I'll find you little trembling light
I'll find you little trembling I

If forever is an ever-land
Even if a never, then
I'll find you
I'll find you
I'm biting through
Lalalala lalala lalala

On my way
On my lumbering way
By bird song
By glittering caged birds
While the mountains are all on fire
While the world so slowly burns
Through mirrored paths
Through twisting turns
I'll find you just by these words
I'll find you with shimmering words

If forever is an ever-land
Even if a never, then
I'll find you
I'll find you
I'm biting through
I'll find you
Lalalala lalala la
