lyrics

A deer made entirely of light, bounding on the spot
Rising and dropping without a sound.
An emerging state of mind -
A realisation.

Paths are re-emerging
Appearing like veins of light
Beneath the skin of the earth,

Passing through fields,
Across sealed roads,
Under walls and buildings,
Down a high street
With every shop closed.

Untrodden for lifetimes -
Dreaming trails indented in the earth
By countless ancestors.

If they return, reimposing the violent machinery of their lives
These paths will be buried from awareness once more;
Their reappearance to the spirit will wait
For future generations to awaken to them
When the occupiers finally die out
And the great silence returns

Once and for all.
