Drown your sorrow, bury your dead Weeping willow, make your bed In the stones and silent sand Drown your sorrow and be damned Drink your blood, breathe your air Fill your cup, have your share Of love and life, and death and war Drown your sorrow and blame the law Blame the law! Drown your sorrow, claim your land Let them follow, your bleeding hand All my life I’ve been told To drown my sorrow in your gold I’ll drown my sorrow in your gold Drown your sorrows in your gold

With her crimson crown of ashes made Her viking eyes and her veils of Jade She turns her gaze from the sun to the shade Where lurks the Djinn to whom all sins are paid Then he shall beckon with a finger of flame His serpentine eyes shall devour the dame With puritan lust and devoid of all shame The Djinn conquers her will and her body is claimed And as his slave, she begins to sing… “Beware the Djinn, for he lives within Beneath the folds of human skin Beware, beware the Djinn Beware the Djinn, for he is your kin Beneath the trials of human sin Beware, beware the Djinn”

I was myth You held me sacred You held me close to your heart I was illusion You made me perfect You made me into your faith I was myth You made a martyr You built another shrine to sin Another illusion To calm your labour And when your saviour comes, he’ll lie Believe me Bereave me Lay me down in your scripture Blame me In your court And let myth abound in thought You were myth I held you sacred I held you close to my heart You were illusion I made you perfect I made you into my faith I’ll believe you I’ll grieve for you I’ll lay you down in my scripture I’ll blame you I’ll frame you And I’ll judge you for my war Lie, lie, lie! All you know Lie, lie, lie! All you are Blood and cream Breath and bone Love all dreams Mother moan Blood and cream

O silver faery Hold your head up high Your ribbons in the sky Touch the ground O mother Mary Let your lamp follow For hidden in the snow Shall be found My fair and silver maiden With gems for lips and eyes of May Our fair father shall awaken The blooming buds of day O silver faery Shall you be my light? Ease my fright And take my crown My fair and silver maiden With gems for lips and eyes of May Our fair father shall awaken The blooming buds of day

Guru 04:57
I call you guru I call you feeder You are my shivering gold I call you voodoo I call you my witchcraft, I do You are my reason to bow Your dominion is demise and greed And your killers made of marble breed Another lie, you start to bleed I see through you, I see through you I call you voodoo I call you my witchcraft, I do You are my reason to bow I call you guru I call you feeder You are my shivering gold 

When your brethren born of ashes flee 
And your spirits are all alive are free
 Your sin becomes akin to me 
I see through you, I see through you I will not follow you I will not martyr you 
I will not live for you 
I will not die for you Your dominion is demise and greed And your killers made of marble breed Another lie, you start to bleed I see through you, I see through you

The Widow 04:29
The wind is a widow The sun is in fever And oh my wit is low The sky is a saviour The soul is a slave now And oh my wit is low My wit is low, oh yeah The right of the reaper The rain is in armour And only her voice will do The darkness a dreamer Born of a woman And only her voice will do Her voice will do, oh yeah Hear me, hear me, hear me My water, my widow The Lord and the lava The fall of the father With all your eyes aglow Follow the river Follow your martyr And tell him what you know Tell him what you know, oh yeah Hear me, hear me, hear me My water, my widow Hear me, hear me What do you know, my widow?

I feel blue I feel green Of many shades The colour fades I feel yellow I feel suede When I’m made The colours fade And many lies are true Of me and you And many days are night For you and I To be in love To be in love Would you believe in living? Surely… What I am is what you will never, ever be

about

"Beware the Djinn, for he lives within, beneath the folds of human skin..."

"Sin", the New Album Release from Daniel Jones - East London Blues traverses the heritage of the blues, the raw underground counter-culture ethos of the 1960s, and the dark spiritual undertones of Gothic literature.

Within 8 songs weaves the spiritual narrative of an enslaved Manservant, who escapes the servitude of an Evil Mistress in her Grand Mansion of Whitest Marble, in the midst of a sprawling and desolate wilderness. Each of these recordings relay his fear and his faith, his wishes and his woes.

Driven to despair by her torment, the young Manservant throws himself at the mercy of the wilderness, and is soon lost in the nearby Dead Forest, inhabited only by a family of Silver Faeries in the treetops. There he is tormented by the Djinn, a benevolent source of evil, who preys upon his victim with torturous visions...
