about

Taken from the Dark Tower series by Stephen King, this is part 1 in a 2 part tale. This part focuses on loss and desertion, such as the case with Roland and the fall of Gilead. This leads to a nomad life towards a quest of destiny to reach The Dark Tower. An ensemble of acoustic instruments, including mandolin, as well as deep layered synths and melancholy vocals set the atmosphere for this part of the tale. Individual track art by Jaems Murphy

lyrics

I. Leaving

she is gone
landscape of
lush earthly home
mother of soft rolling
hillsides and milk
spilling to dust
under my soles
I smell my own blood
as it drains from my face
hands like talons
once fingers of grace
fists of a man
gloved
hands of disgrace
I am bounding at once
toward and away
the tower
hides behind
the fell
better this present
than yesterday's hell
no matter the path an end will be
time is the hand that holds
and hangs me
on the ledge
ninety stories
was she
was I wicked to deserve such pain
such an end so unexplained
the tower
hides behind
the fell
better this present
than yesterday's hell
