about

This track references The Battle of Winceby that took place on 11th October 1643. Many Royalists were killed at ‘Slash Hollow’ when they became trapped against a parish boundary gate that only opened against them. In their panic the press of men jammed it shut.

lyrics

Breakdown the constant city ring
I am Boundel – I am everything
Tear down the walls and let ‘em in
We took the last punch on the chin

Days are calling
Nights are drawing in
And we are falling down like soldiers in the dark parade
The lights are blinding
The colours draw us in
And we are floating down like leaves in the falling rain

On nimbus hill I walk
Amongst the Norse and the silent men
And through the gutter trench I crawl
Aghast at standards blazing red

Oh, I will holler.
Oh, I will sympathise
A million answers crawl into our lives

Upon the hills are slain
A gunshot sounds, the sky begins to grey
A hunter’s sky in silhouette
Against a tide of fallen men

Days are calling
Nights are drawing in
And we are falling down like soldiers in the dark parade
The lights are blinding
The colours draw us in
And we are floating down like leaves in the falling rain
