about

A song inspired by the life, work and tragic death of late 20th century poet Gu Cheng.

lyrics

Rocky Bay
Swim away
Sunlight glints on swinging axe
Hanging tree
Son of three
Should man be judged by final act

Black eyes dark night
Look to the light

Displaced soul
Tale untold
Misty poets' speech repressed
Take a wife
Take her life
Take a concubine distressed

Kingdom of girls
Waiting to die

Father yields
Work the fields
Raise the pigs and learn the land
Exiled heart
Flame impart
A legacy obscured in blood

Black eyes dark night
Forever good night

about

Ernie Buck Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Lo-Fi Post Punk Garage Rock. Laughing, crooning and snarling in the face of nihilism.
Minimalist defiance, with a slice of lime. Cod-philosophical wannabe Pop with frayed edges. The sound of the absurd.
