No Ghost 04:00
lyrics
buy track
There are no travelers here Who wish to keep on traveling All of them washed in the fear That all that is, is unraveling And I don't want to see you And I don't know your ghost Anymore Your shadow is sewn to the floor Forced to fathom this dirt Tired of watching it die The groans of time passing by Swift as a hare And slow as a bear I'm getting lost Getting lost I'm leaving So let's be lost Let's be lost In the greenery

Summoning Dance 03:21
lyrics

My brother and I We waited for you At the top of the mountain With nothing to lose We spoke not a word Made not a sign Crossed through the forest To where the wolves dine And there you appeared With the blood on your hands The bird on your shoulder Your eyes in a trance Mm, and we cried... My brother and I We await the moon For the time and the place Where all thing are through Hold fast and follow The old winding path Back up the mountain To meet us at last And you will arrive The bones in your hand The words on your lips For the summoning dance... And we cried...

Snow on the mountain Snow in the air Snow on the mountain Snow in the air Hammered strings of dulcimer Little wisp of smoke Blue piney ridge Is calling, calling... Calling out your name... Olden, olden Calling, calling Olden, olden Calling, calling... How did I know that I would find thee?... Did I know that I would find thee?... Snow on the mountain Snow in the air Snow on the mountain Snow everywhere...

Moonshine Still 03:50
lyrics

Went up to the mountain What did I see? Looked over the mountain I saw the ghost of the sweetgum tree I said to that ghost... When it rains it pours At the sweetgum tree Ran down that mountain Met my pa at the old mill Pa said to me... "Boy, ya best stay out of my moonshine still!"

Bound for the wild Set out from your home Away from every toil And sorrow you have known Where did go, old man? The owl as she flies Whispering to the sky A prayer for the mortal We're all bound to die In the haunted hollow Nine-pins in their hands Drink of the liquor Drink while you can As daylight turns to midnight As hours slip like sand Why did you stay so long, old man? Why keep away so long, old man? In a ghostly slumber In a moonlit trance Your vision started trembling The stars began to dance You gave up all your passions And left it all to chance What did you see out there, old man? What did you see, way out there, old man? Old man, beard long and white Sad to say you've been away For more than a night Your lover is dead And the wolves took your land And all your morning dreaming Never turned to evening plans Old man, sorrow in your eye Sad to say you kept away And wasted all your life Old man, sorrow in your gaze Not glad to say You kept away And wasted all your days The owl as she flies Closes her eyes A tear for the mortal We're all bound to die

Come, you, Rest by my fire Cold and alone Among brush and briar I, I know the snow I know the thunder I, I know the story I know the wonder And I know When it all goes away Where were you, When it all went away? Come, you Rest by my fire Tell me, tell me The tales Of loss and desire I, I know the thief I know his plunder I, I know wanderer But not what she wonders And I know What it's like To be afraid Do you know What it's like To be afraid? Come, you, Rest by my fire Fill me with hope And lost desire Come, you, Rest by my fire Come, you, Stay for awhile

about

"No Ghost" is a bittersweet sound capsule of our favorite early songs, many of which we've been performing live for over 10 years. 

Inspired by mountains, forests, fantasies, magic and tall tales, these songs speak from a place of youthful wonder.

They have become like old friends to us as we've grown older alongside them, and it feels so good to finally have them out in the cosmos in more permanent form. We hope they'll bring some comfort, enjoyment and reflection to you, too. 

Thanks to everyone who has ever come to a show, offered a word of support or otherwise kept our creative fires burning. 

And thanks for listening ♡ more to come...

-Hibernacula
