lyrics

The call of the ore

Stretched the lengths of the plains

And drew all the men to the iron ore range

& From the windows I would watch

Them gain in white and loose in black



Here in the dark no need to be scared

‘cause I will be your guiding hand



And in the shafts

When they wouldn’t come back

Cold red faces dressed in black

Their dormant lips had sealed their fate

Without a warning they knew too late



Here in the dark no need to be scared

‘cause I will be your guiding hand



scorched throats sang funeral songs

and asked why they had been undone

until canary like the sun came down down down

into the mines



Now trees and leaves grow through the floors

And in the mines there rots the ore

And for those who never came back

Canary sings for those dressed in black



Here in the dark no need to be sacred

‘cause I will be your guiding hand

The songwriting is ever poignant, painting a picture with nostalgia. Shadow Dance, as the name implies, plays with the themes of loss and hope and how the two criss cross through our lives.
