Running on the Rocks

Running on the Rocks - Shriekback

Searching the wide oceans with hooks and spears
We shake the tall trees till the leaves drop round our ears
Swimming the cold water where the sun will never shine
Making preparations for the whip-crack time
Hauling the Kraken up with blocks and chains -
We're sailing into the eyes of hurricanes
You know that no-one here gets out alive
Only one thing makes it when the Devil drives:

WE'RE GONNA STEEL UP THE FLESH TO THE FIRE
YOU GONNA FIND OUT WHAT THE RULES ARE THEN
WELL SISTER, SISTER, WON'T YOU PRAY FOR ME -
WE'RE GOING RUNNING ON THE ROCKS AGAIN...

Flaming amazement - madder than the gale
Wreathed in shadows; crackling in the sails
This is our mission now as then -
We can do no other here we stand: Amen
The winds are crying - remember me
Through the holy silence of the desert and the sea
The next Armada waiting for the tide
Wind and rain are nothing to the storm inside

WE'RE GONNA STEEL UP THE FLESH TO THE FIRE
YOU GONNA FIND OUT WHAT THE RULES ARE THEN
WELL SISTER, SISTER, WON'T YOU PRAY FOR ME -
WE'RE GOING RUNNING ON THE ROCKS AGAIN...

DA DAYADHVAM DAMYATTA DA DAYADHVAM DAMYATTA
OM A RA PA CHANA DHIH OM A RA PA CHANA DHIH
OM ANA HASHI VIER OM ANA HASHI VIER OM ANA HASHI VIER
(We're holding on, we're holding on...)

WE'RE GONNA STEEL UP THE FLESH TO THE FIRE
YOU GONNA FIND OUT WHAT THE RULES ARE THEN
WELL SISTER, SISTER, WON'T YOU PRAY FOR ME -
WE'RE GOING RUNNING ON THE ROCKS AGAIN...

RUNNING ON THE ROCKS
RUNNING ON THE ROCKS

Ley Lines #1

The concept of "ley lines" is generally thought of in relation to Alfred Watkins, but the stimulus and background for the concept is attributed to the English astronomer Norman Lockyer . [3] [4] [5] On 30 June 1921, Watkins visited Blackwardine in Herefordshire , and went riding a horse near some hills in the vicinity of Bredwardine , when he noted that many of the footpaths there seemed to connect one hilltop to another in a straight line. [6] He was studying a map when he noticed places in alignment. "The whole thing came to me in a flash", he later told his son. [7] It has been suggested that Watkin's experience stemmed from faint memories of an account in September 1870 by William Henry Black given to the British Archaeological Association in Hereford titled Boundaries and Landmarks , in which he speculated that "Monuments exist marking grand geometrical lines which cover the whole of Western Europe". [8] Watkins believed that, in ancie...
