The “Octoberland” lyrics, supplied in a press launch:
Air turns into hole.
And orange flash
Pale within the moonlight
And flying quick
Witches burning
In vanilla smoke
Heritage wounded
And I’m advised
The virus flies each night time
God of dying
To village discover
Girls and youngsters
The vanilla smoke
All is orange flash
From the brown oaks
Rub your lesions with this ointment
Product of crushed cicadas
From two months in the past
The air is hole
The air is holeNightflight
Over Cleveland tonight
Steam rises
Into hole air
There’s nothing thereSpirits floating into the night time
Will they ever discover their manner
Will they ever discover their manner
Spirits floating into the night time
Will they ever discover their manner
“Octoberland” is out now on 4AD.
