EDIT: I have changed the lyrics slightly and also added a new/definitive vocal track to the downloads (vox_take6_final).

Wrote this Dark-Age Blues song today, so this is a first draft and I may add more—perhaps a chorus. I may also redo the vocals. Meanwhile I’ll add the live stems. The song is inspired by a 10th-Century Saxon poem called “The Wanderer”. I’ll paste lyrics below:
WANDERER

No abode
Bleak is the road
Burdened by a load
I’m bearing all alone
*
Middle Earth
For what it’s worth
Falls into decay
We lost our sacred way
*
Therefore Man
Cannott be wise
Till Sixty-thousand suns
Rise and set in his eyes
*
Fame and friends
Pass fleetingly
Exiled memories
Fly over ice-cold seas
*
Wanderer
Striding thru tears
Battle-weary years
Have claimed/devoured/consumed kinsfolk dear
*
