lyrics

ROAD TO PERILOUS

On a winter morning thick with frost
At a time and place now long since lost
Tiny kicking feet are bound and blessed
And set upon the road to Perilous

I took a look through the long lens
Took a long look through the long lens
The long lens
I saw a Valkyrie rider searching for one good soldier
I saw a man of Longsight grow swan's wings and take flight
Perilous
All on the road to Perilous
All on the road to Perilous
Perilous
I saw a land of plenty but all the people’s plates were empty
A multitude marching without rest set to storm the gates of Perilous
Perilous
All on the road to Perilous
All on the road to Perilous
Perilous
I saw a hundred good families all scattered and divided
I saw a shield-bearing maiden turn into a sleek black raven
Perilous
All on the road to Perilous
All on the road to Perilous
Perilous
I saw a man of honour marching with a golden banner
I saw a bright-faced woman gathering all the noble fallen
Perilous
I saw an army of children led by a nameless pilgrim
All on the road to Perilous
Sworn to storm the gates of Perilous
Perilous
All on the road to Perilous
All on the road to Perilous
All on the road to Perilous
All on the road to Perilous
Perilous
Perilous
Perilous

I took a look through the long lens
Took a long look through the long lens

Blue Orchids Manchester, UK

Continuing the mystical thread and acid explorations which were a hallmark of The Fall's initial line-up, Martin Bramah has quietly crafted a trove of psychedelic visions unparalleled among musicians of his generation.

Despite never quite cracking mainstream public consciousness, Blue Orchids endure as a living treasures of head music for post-punks, with a series of deeply-magical recordings.
