lyrics

Now the green blade rizeth from the buried grain,
Wheat that in dark earth many days hath lain,
Love lives again that in the dead has been
Love is come again like wheat that springeth green

In the grave they laid her, love whom men hath slain
Thinking that never she would wake again
Laid in the earth like grain that sleeps unseen
Love is come again like wheat that springeth green

When our hearts are wintry, weary or in pain
It’s thy love that calls us back to live again
Fields of our hearts, that in the dead have been
Love is come again like wheat that springeth green

about

Hermitess Calgary, Alberta

Hermitess is the project of an aging and slightly reclusive witch, dreaming simultaneously in music and images. Sonically, layered orchestral textures, harmonic voices, and pedal driven magic, all conjuring a fleeting fever dream.
