lyrics
There was another world beyond the bough, Left it to falter not safe from the plough.
The time it came and didn't need the fight, when they were on our tails we fled the night.
In the sunshine we rode the horses. In the sunshine we rode the horses.
We sat down and closed our open eyes, just to see that giants carved the lines.
and found the truth then to repair, back to the hills no shelter from despair.
The giants found us there, the giants found us there
Keep our heads tucked low beneath the lines, left for dead those wrongs we can't put right.
Out of sight now everything must change, but keep in mind there's only us to blame.
In the sunshine we rode the horses. In the sunshine we rode the horses.
When the giants came they took their sto--o-o-ones back from our homes
Another time had begun to run inside of our own.
We'd taken those things that they one held so dear, ploughed through the circles wrenched stones out of there.
Burn through the rocks they're easy to steal, Carve up the lands kick the spokes from the wheel.
Bury the forest the kings need their crowns, what we can't touch remains deep underground.
Fortunes will falter again and again, over and over forever the same.
Over and over forever the same.
(Over and over and over and over).

"Bewitching and otherworldly... Morrison's voice is eerily confiding, strangely present, insistent even at its quietest"
Folk Radio UK.
Believing in the beauty of sad songs, weaving folk, soul and beat sounds of the '60s into a tapestry of the human heart. Homespun sounds that reside in a nostalgic universe.

'Andromeda' by Alex Rex is a thing of dark beauty, an examination of a wounded heart that is both forensic and poetic. Angeline Morrison and The Ambassadors of Sorrow
I literally cannot get over the ingenious brilliance of this artist. Intricate instrumentation and the voice of a 19th century medium in tight midnight-black taffeta... Angeline Morrison and The Ambassadors of Sorrow
Beautiful folk music in the widest sense of the word - full of space and light, with a voice so pure it stops you in your tracks. Angeline Morrison and The Ambassadors of Sorrow

This is very close to what I heard/felt everytime we visited the grandparents in Runcorn.
Ominous dread. Bleak dystopia. Concrete and terraced houses. Plus the air smells! MonkeyMajiks
