DARK WAS THE NIGHT
I let the monster out, blinded by his darkness
Angels in his voice, hands filled with promises
I thought it was a deceit but I greeted him in my house
Trusting the one who never trusts anyone
I listened to his words, they filled my heart with poison
The demons in his head are the idols he adores
I looked into his eyes, saw a gloomy kind of void
The black tongues of the liars, a never ending pride
Dark was the night, cold was the ground
Dark was the night and cold was... yes, cold was the ground
“When I looked for good then evil came to me
When I waited for light then came darkness”
I walk towards the sun as I go back to no man's land
Following a dead man's trail
Dark was the night, cold was the ground
Dark was the night and cold was... yes, cold was the ground

GREAT SLEEVE
O Great sleeve, o wide great garment
I sink into the great sleeve, I sink into the great garment
Fire – esoteric enclosure
May burn until the end of the world
Ash – esoteric enclosure
May burn until the end of the world
The brown stone is my hedge, the black stone is my trap
The grey stone is my enclosure against the spirits
Fire – esoteric enclosure
May burn until the end of the world
Ash – esoteric enclosure
May burn until the end of the world
In stay, the fire will drive you
Away stay, the stone will close you
In stay, the ritual will chase you
Away stay, the shaman will cast you out
Thirty shamans ride with no horse
Twenty five shamans ride without stumbling
Fire – esoteric enclosure
May burn until the end of the world
Ash – esoteric enclosure
May burn until the end of the world
In stay, the fire will drive you
Away stay, the stone will close you
In stay, the ritual will chase you
Away stay, the shaman will cast you out

WAYFARING STRANGER
I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
While travelling through this world of woe
Yet there's no sickness, toil nor danger
In that fair land to which I go
I'm going there to see my father
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm just going over Jordan
I'm just going over home
I know dark clouds will gather round me
I know my way is rough and steep
Yet beautiful fields lie just before me
Where God's redeemed, their vigils keep
I'm going there to see my mother
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm just going over Jordan
I'm just going over home
I sink into a deep mire
Where the waters overflow me
I am weary of my crying
While I wait for my Lord
I'm going there to see my Saviour
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm just going over Jordan
I'm just going over home
I'm just going over home

ALICE
The shape of my greed
Is young and confident
I lay my hand on her
O my dear, o my dear
The smell of her skin
So pure and so wild
The curse of her lips
O my dear, o my dear
God bless the night for its oblivion
“Bow down Thy heavens and come down”
Her wandering feet
Like restless restless waves
Do you see what I see?
O my dear, o my dear
All the beauty in her eyes
Can't wash away my blues
O my dear, o my dear
God bless the night for its oblivion
“Bow down Thy heavens and come down”
To me

LOVE IS THE FLOOD
Love is the Flood, baby
There's nowhere to hide
My life is a relic
Floating by
Love is the Flood, baby
I feel alive
My sins are diamonds
In the dirty ground
Love is the Flood, baby
Broke every riverbank
Every fence in which
I stored my life
Love is the Flood, baby
It brought me back to life
High water everywhere
I woke up in the middle of the night
Love is the Flood, baby
You don't know how much
Pain I've been through
That maybe I left behind

Franky Maze Paris, France
Franky Maze builds a rich, multi-dimensional sound: simultaneously evoking the vastness of natural places and the realm of the small and intimate. Bright indie-electronica touches breathe fresh air into smoky gravel tones. As his winding dark lyrics travel through spectral states, Maze’s sound evokes Bon Iver crackling on a bonfire and Nick Cave stumbling into the wilderness. ... more
