Carrying the Fire

from STOP THE LIGHTS by The Walls

/

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Comes in a beautiful 8-panel gatefold digipak.

    For the artwork a five-meter high installation was designed and constructed by Conor & David, one of Ireland’s best graphic design partnerships. It’s a tribute to influential characters past & present, family, band members and people that the band wanted to remember. Spot the likes of Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan, WB Yeats and many more amongst the faces.

    "An ambitious record with countless layers and textures, so lovingly created (the art work is beautiful), that truly reaffirms the belief that great long plays are still being written and produced…sublime." Louder than War May 10th 2012

    Includes unlimited streaming of STOP THE LIGHTS via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

They were wandering the roads with nowhere to hide
carrying the fire, carrying the fire
skin and bones and barely alive,
carrying the fire

Crushed down driven to hell
carrying the fire, carrying the fire
By the brute force of Oliver Cromwell
carrying the fire, carrying the fire
There were lost half a million lives
Those that lived made sure the tale survived

On hundreds of ships crossing the seven seas
To Botany Bay, New York and Mississippi,
through the cracks in godless concrete streets
life bloomed like some rebel weed

Escape from the city to the country

On a freight ship he came from the east
carrying the fire, carrying the fire
In a hotel she cooks and cleans
carrying the fire, carrying the fire
He said I don’t know a soul in this strange place
She said come on upstairs, come on inside
We’re gonna keep warm
We’re gonna survive

Carrying the fire.
