Footsteps echo through the trees
Now just distant memories
Footsteps Echo, footsteps echo, footsteps echo, footsteps echo, footsteps echo
Ignorance is bliss, they say
And here the bliss intends to stay
All we ever wanted were our cosy lies and homely lives
Our messed up dream of paradise
Chorus
Another district weeps, while the world sleeps
Talk remains cheap, while the world sleeps sleeps
Verse
Discarded plastic flutters over empty streets
Born and ever drawing forward by a fierce and piercing breeze
These roads were once roamed, these roads were once roamed
The slabs that make the pavement groan and crack
Once a symbiosis with repairmen but repair is never coming back
These roads were once known, these roads were once known

Now an experienced hand at timed songwriting challenges, Ben took on the February Album Writing Challenge on his own (well, with a little help) in 2019. This is the result. Softwire
supported by 20 fans who also own “While The World Sleeps”
This is a great adaptation of Arthuriana and a brilliant narrative album. I love how the queerness of the characters is handled as an integral part of the narrative and plot development without it being the end all be all of the characters themselves. my boy Gawain deserved better though maritarvaniti
