lyrics

On the moon-bleached peaks of the highest mountains / From abandoned fishing boats upon the tranquil seas / Through the tendrilled jungles and through the drowning / Sands of deserts, and the ceintures of cities / A ghost woman marched, sailed, and swam, determined / To slake the thirst of our enduring rage / And to use her voice, for as we have learned, it / Risked becoming subsumed on an earth-bound stage / Her heart was swollen, not with love but with anger: / Escorted by Luna and the pull of the tide / She was keen in her quest to find guidance and answers / To injustice committed against her own kind / When at last she arrived at her strange destination / The closest point that exists between land and the moon / She bathed throat and lungs in the illumination / And gathered her voice – to howl, and to fuel / Her call: “No more,” she cried; “no more mutilation / Of our sisters’ bodies and our daughters’ minds / No more insecure men who, fearing castration / Wield their weakness as a weapon against our lives / No more doubting our rights, no more guns for our brothers / No more of the deaths that shouldn’t have been / Of those of us killed because of our lovers, / By their hands, or at the command of our governments / No violation of flesh, no more no means yes / No removal of choice from the paths that we take / Mother, I come to unburden our distress / And to ask you to bequeath us some of your strength!” / The moon hung, suspended, in the vast blot of ink / In the still, sombre night and the silence of space / And tolerated the force of all of the torment / That this spectre, on our behalf, had unleashed / And her cratered sphere became pocked through with holes / As if moths had fed on a circle of linen / Then scattered, and sparkled like specks of pure gold / Each piece of the orb released from its prison / Of celestial logic; and freed, they flew / Dispersing into the dark sea of comets / Where, emboldened, each one held fast and grew / More powerful than all of the dizzying planets.

about

Project Blackbird image

Project Blackbird England, UK

The "extraordinary" Project Blackbird, as BBC's Tom Robinson has called them, offer an atmospheric and genre-fluid listening experience that draws equally upon intellect and emotion. "Imagine a party at Ronnie Scott’s," one fan suggests, "where Sade, Björk, Jeff Beck, and David Byrne meet Portishead and then go for a late night curry to exchange ideas…sublime”. ... more
