about

This song has been with me for ever and ever, any time I’d be going about my business I might have been singing this song to myself. The strange thing is, after recording it, that impulse isn’t there. I don’t mind that, because it’s sort of more real now and perhaps there’s space for other songs.

lyrics

I hear the sound of screaming children
Ripping through my ruined mind
While visions of some painful torture
Torment me from deep inside

Life is like an open wound
Cut deep into my empty soul
That bleeds the blood of all the ages
Thick upon a thirsty soil

As flicker of unceasing flame
Each passion, pleasure and each pain
In quick succession wax and wane
And franticly, I fly with each
Unknowing of for what I reach

And all the while, deeper down inside
Within a deeper silence hide
Sweet voices whisper commentary
Upon all that is and will be
Upon all that can and could be
Upon the twists of destiny
Upon the rhythms of eternity
Upon the kings of enmity
Upon the sadness that engulfs me
Upon the flames of infamy
Upon the wings of fantasy
Upon the knowing that eludes me
Upon the knowing that eludes me
Upon the knowing that eludes me
Upon the knowing that eludes me
Upon the knowing that eludes me
Upon the knowing that eludes me
Upon the knowing that eludes me
Upon the knowing that eludes me

about

Anphortas Sheffield, UK

Anphortas is the music project of Sheffield based musician, painter, fencing coach and guitar maker Adam Blight. Songs sort of drop out of the air, what to do with all these songs? As I got involved in music making, I sought to make my songs more real and tangible and to get recorded versions that sounded how I could hear them in my mind. Now they seem to sound how I imagined they would. ... more
