Before the Sun
04:56

Hear them
Hymns of our own shadow self
Hear them
These words are far beyond the wisdom
Passed from hand
To hand of the lowly
Passed from hand
To hand for the sovereign
Courage
To silence the own judgement tongue
Courage
The arrowhead pierce through the lucid
Have them burned
Before the sun
Have them burned
Those spoken with no balance
Wash from the ashen face
Fevered will and madness
Sunder this tongue and know
Strength through wonders alight

Woodland
04:33
|

|
I weep yes i weep
By the death of winter
Cast down ‘neath a calm sky
A song both wicked and foul
What will come
Yeah what will come
When the dust have settled?
Rose of the mountain
Mother of soil
How deep is your wound?
let your drums shake the ground
and your harp with mercy speak
i have been shown
i have been shown
to the heart of your woodland
I have been shown
To the heart of your woodland
To the eye of your humble weather wild
To the heart of your woodland
No breath is endless

Serpent Path
04:43
|
|||
|
One would do wise not to trade
The feathers of the crow
For a glimpse of a sun
False to the eye of the mind
No path will ever
Lead us safe and straight
Trust there is wealth of wisdom
Whichever chosen
We will be taught
We will be taught to listen
Trials in the quaking and turning
Strength in the answer alight
There will be blood
There will be blood as we venture
Darkness through ages gilded
Fear of the flightless crow

Fever Hands
04:02
|
|||
|
Blade to bone
How awful the sound
This is the morning
Of madness to come
Wailing cries
Through visions howl
New heirs are rising
With gospels of light
A great height twitch
Before i enter new realms
Fever hands
The narrow walls brush
These are the patterns
Of riches to come
Sweat and spit
My raging sea
Fear is to carry
Imbalance in mind
This sleep belongs
To the kingdom of moths
Behold the heirs
With gospels of light
|

So Came the Trembling
04:30
|
|||
|
So came the trembling
The end as the beginning
Pictures of filth and shame
All in the prophets visions
Oh the hands of petty man
Weaver of the own fate
So came the trembling
Newborn faith in fearful minds
The righteous spoke of the own pure path
Rusty shovels and daggers in hand
To cast out all the liars
Cowards, thieves and the rest of the wicked
Well still no city safe
From the remnants of the olden days
The Struggle of winter winds
Will mend her ghost divided
Whole and forth into the endless

Praise the Eternal
03:53
|
|||
|
There is something amidst our own voices
Felt as we praise the eternal
There is something amidst our own voices
Felt as we praise the eternal
With song and with feast
Awe made this fertile soil tremble
To bay ‘neath the tears of our fathers
Awe made this fertile soil tremble
To bay ‘neath the tears of our fathers
As we burned the golden tree
Resiliant faith return to here
Deliver the blood of our mothers
Resiliant faith return to here
Deliver the blood of our mothers
From bondage and spell
We made one promise to seek out
To align the spirit and beauty
We made one promise to seek out
To align the spirit and beauty
With wisdom and call out

Voice of the Herald
05:51
|
|||
|
Rest to your mind
And rest to your spirit
You have seen the dark
Disguised as passion and pleasure
Your back is crooked
From past desires
You have seen the light
Travelling through sickness and grief
May your voice
Return to you
From hidden depths
Of the shadow murmur
Words of blessings
Worthy of choirs
The scriptures you found
Were held by the leery
Written for guidance
By true believers
Well they took your voice
As you spoke in ardor
Of soul as the eternal
Essence of man

The Veiled Temple
06:14
|
|||
|
Be it our fortune as be it our curse
Be it our fortune as be it our curse
In visions told by silver glance
Not to hand over and yield
Not to hand over and yield
But wander through illusions
What will we see
What will we see
As we unveil the temple?
We’ll come to call for you and your kin
We’ll come to call for you and your kin
As wild land cease her tender sway
All have led us to here
All have led us to here
To the untamed myriad spirits
What will we see
What will we see
As we enter the temple?

Apparition
05:50
|
|||
|
You allow yourself to enter
Here at my place of rest
Your presence is known
And has been for years
Residing in many given names
Low you speak and always
A soulful dance of tongues
Trails of wisdom hidden with care
In shivering blood pass the arch
Shivering blood pass the arch
You have been guiding my feet
In sleep and further below
I have been spinning out
Of this circle not knowing
Why I hear your breath
Spoken to from the light of the lantern
A familiar voice has been chosen
As your vessel through
Beyond and the coming
Language
Myth and rhythm
Sing from your realm in remembrance
Clarity to your one true name

The Myriad Spirits
08:28
|
|||
|
Greet this kindling rose with hymns
Unveil the myriad
Once dormant and elusive
Each guiding voice a spirit
Each guiding voice a spirit
Trust every little glance
From the window lantern still
As shifting apparitions
Not to force the entrance
We are the patient flicker
We are the patient flicker
Trust every little glance at sanctuary ground
You will know your name
As birth together binds
Every drop of blood and sweat
Helps to split the tongue
While begs the hand to pen
Weave every proud creation
Weave every proud creation
Into the vast and the sovereign
Secret ground beneath your feet
Soon through the myriad
Once dormant and elusive
Each guiding voice a spirit
Each guiding voice a spirit
Into the vast and sovereign we will lay your path
Here is the hour
Of the great release
Here is the hour
For me to become
Part of the golden
Myself alight and solemn

Isobel & November Sweden
Isobel & November from Gävle, Sweden, began as a solo project in the late 90s, where singer/writer Per-Erik Söderberg played
the songs on his hollow, heavily tuned down Gretsch.
With the help of joining members, the band soon began experimenting with sound and texture, which made Isobel the droning, pounding, Kraut and Psych-quartet it is today.
