lyrics

No more we will speak
we will speak no more
As if the sea is frozen
And the land lined by no tundra
As if spider's web is broken
and raven's mask has fallen
the beetle, our food stolen
1997 - worlds beginning and ending
In 1997 our hearts in frost
Frost in our hearts in 1997
As if the thaw has flooded
Sirenik by Siberian snows
As if tales of ravens and foxes
lie forgotten in boxes
Or mouthed only by others
No longer our mothers
In 1997…
Sleep, Vyie
Sleep, Vyie, and the pea pod contains me before collapsing beneath me till I'm meeting the unmasking raven questioning how a woman fell through where his pod grew Raven flies for days and then feeds me with berries before scattering seeds and moulding clay into all species crafting your father for comforting me moulding your father for comforting me Raven is making you father out of clay just for comforting me…
Sleep, Vyie, sleep - sleep and Shleep in 1997 Shleep
We live by the raven and die by his laws, hunting only whatever he allows till spider knits new tundra summer after summer though the sea is cruel from the beginning - man crafted from clay and woman grows for five days till her feet pierce the pod and she speaks to the world but never more in Sirenik...

In 1997
as new lovers are meeting by the sea, new lovers are meeting by the sea, though never more in Sirenk…
SLEEP, Vyie, SLEEP!

about

Yorkshire vs Essex London, UK

Yorkshire Vs Essex are a London-based trio singing of the lives of historical figures... with nice slices of embellishment. Influenced by the likes of Robert Wyatt, Current 93, Scott Walker, Miles Davis, Shabazz Palaces, Nick Cave, Autechre, Matana Roberts, Bjork and Iannis Xenakis - but sounding little like them, bass and vocals merge with flute, trombone, accordion, digital horn and electronics. ... more
