This song is so beautiful and soulful, it gets me through long lonely days working from home... I just need the lyrics so I can better sing-along

A band from my home town, Bask construct soulful alternative metal out of the sounds of the South and I come away from it feeling warm and welcome.

Three White Feet
05:53
|
|||
|
three white feet came
and carried with them cold
for all the nights I will hold
laid to rest with ash and pollen
left to drift in years of autumn
As I laid the stones upon him
dreaming of a fate befallen
these beating wings
collecting what is owed
and soon my debtor he will know
these hands they ache
to tear your flesh from bone
and drag you westward bound in rope
this moment filled my mind
stretched over miles of stone and sand
I must take a life
hooves leave the mark of my demand
the comfort I will find
blood bathing miles of stone and sand
I must take a life
hooves leave the mark of my demand
the mourning will be brighter when you’ve left
this face that you see it will be the last
this moment filled my mind
walking dawn and day
three white feet that carried him
cut that path that I must take
his screams will fill the fields
and dance across the planes
three white feet that carried him
carry me away
the mourning will be brighter when you’ve left
this face that you see it will be the last
the mourning will be brighter when you’ve left

brought forth with violence
swords came and hung him from our gate
hidden in silence
head cloaked with sisters I did wait
my time I bided
through seas of ink and dust I wade
my new dominion
grew with the turn of every page
the thieving of my life
the fury I will find
my hand was bartered
for lands my body a gift to trade
misery held me
till at my breast these quiet babes
red stag and gray hare
great ax and towering liths of stone
his body made still
his scabbard taken for my own
the thieving of my life
the fury I will find
in yew and alder
in ash and holly we did roam
black earth and green leaf
this day my chapel still stands strong

Stone Eyed
04:17
|

|
green eyed what’s betided here we heard you crying out
weeping wailing
wrists worn red has someone held you down
and I can hear the changing sound
sister be still
while we’re here no one can hurt you now
we have searched till you were found
in the temple nearly drowned
grey eyed angered by your shape misplaced you were devout
serpents sprouting as your form lay tangled on the ground
and I can hear the changing sound
sister you may fret and fear but we are with you now
all the waves that held you down
in the temple nearly drowned
throw my beauty to the gorgon
scale my skin and twist my organs
oceans came to dark my door and salt my sister in the temple floor
now you send this child to take her
sword and shield meant to erase her
loathing left us cold and ageless
a fate to share with those who gaze us
stone eyed all that’s left of you the sight who sought you out
weeping wailing even ears of stone will hear us now
and I can hear the changing sound

Rid of You
04:39
|
|||
|
we trekked these lands
far flung cross misty isles and moors
your withered hands
pawed at my flesh till I am soar
I must be rid of you
if it’s the last thing I do
in yew and alder
in ash and holly we did roam
red stag and gray hare
bending the will of earth and stone
and I must be rid of you
if it’s the last thing I do
as soon as you teach me to
I must be rid of you
|

all the fields in this green county
lost lambs you herded home
all the men who thought them fiercest
chipped teeth and broken bones
all the suitors came to call me
heavy purse and hands of stone
all their lives in search of scepters
all of mine in search of home
I’ve been wasting my life behind these towers tall
I’ve been wasting my time within these masons’ walls
I’ve been suffering while they’ve been singing our songs
all the days I thought my darkest
tear stained in mourning clothes
gilded cage of silk and linen
thought I knew the deepest throes
daughters pay the debts of fathers
blood worth its weight in gold
grimes will never see me sovereign
steel bars and walls of stone
I’ve been wasting my life behind these towers tall
I’ve been wasting my time within these masons’ walls
I’ve been suffering while they’ve been singing our songs
those songs they sang
for who were they
those songs they sang
|

|
great halls and stone walls
a colder life is hard to recall
I was keen for forests green
and living on the deer of kings
a yeoman’s fields to tend and till
if only they could leave us free
men who seek the frail and weak
only find their deepest sleep
I have heard the bugle blow
I have seen the hangman’s rope
I have felt my spirit grow
I have seen so many things
a Norman girl could only dream
steel that gleams and a bowman’s string
carried me from sea to sea
the pious fools the wealthy the cruel
never will they find their peace
the yew still grows to cut our bows
so much to learn in letting go
I have heard the bugle blow
I have seen the gallows pole
I have felt my spirit grow

Maiden Mother Crone
04:39
|
|||
|
a pail carried from the well
turning with the ides
gifted to the boughs and branches lone
every joyful dawn
every drowning morn
blooming in the warm
buried in the storm
speaking soft and low
say it to me slow
there’s only so much time a mind can hold
woven from the old
drifting through the fold
maiden mother crone
you knit me
thread spun and running red
metered in the dark
swaying with wax and wane of time
every quiet dusk
every blade to rust
fading of the light
drifting into night
speaking soft and low
say it to me slow
there’s only so much time a mind can hold
woven from the old
stretched across the fold
maiden mother crone you knit us all
woven from the old
heavy as the stone
the water from the well is clear and cold
drifting through the fold
heavy as the stone
there’s only so much life a thread can hold

about
Asheville, NC quartet BASK unveil 'III,' their latest full-length album and first with Season of Mist. Produced by the band and Matt Bayles (PEARL JAM, MASTODON, MINUS THE BEAR, etc.), the quartet raise the stakes on their unique, Appalachia-tinged blend of heavy and progressive rock. The songs are full and vibrant, cascading with impeccable vocals and beautiful musical interplay. BASK are one of the most exciting bands to emerge from the South’s heavy rock scene in ages, and the stirring ‘III’ rings crisp and clear.

about
BASK Asheville, North Carolina
Letter to the listener:
Progressive; heavy; psychedelic; americana, have all been used to describe Bask.
Truth is, we want rhythm heard for miles, melodies remembered for weeks and an honesty and sincerity felt to your bones. Most of all we want you to listen without concern for what you are hearing. To listen only for the sake of hearing.
Esse Quam Videri,
Bask
