From the tunnel we appear
That once led, to perdition
In the centre circle we oppose
An invisible, forfeit nation
Sing a poem to me
To remember, the lost love
From between the desert and the sea
Verses echo, with tear flow
Echo, with tear flow
In the places that we played
We will now stand, in corners
In the black disc where you parade
Now a field of, threat and torture
Sing a poem to me
To remember, the lost love
From between the desert and the sea
Verses echo, with tear flow
Echo, with tear flow. James has compiled this playlist of songs which feature in the podcast and songs which inspired the creation of the album
