about

This track was written as a lament to the loss of the Irish natural landscape from the extreme development of the economy during the economic boom in the 1990's and 2000's.

lyrics

Hanging from the ground
It draws the city to its’ chin
A breed of power lines the grey
As each new crane holds time to wait

Sprouting in sporadic tufts
With an open arm that orbits earth
Oak trees sulk with jealous stoops
Redundant of their ancient rule

How, how high, they grow
How, how high, they grow

As they command the reigning skies
The mighty cranes impose their will
We scurry through our daily troughs
Too fast to see our citys’ drop

How, how high, they grow
How, how high, they grow
How, how high, they grow
How, how high, they grow

The pillars of our city look below
The pillars of our city look below

How, how high, they grow
How, how high, they grow
How, how high, they grow
How, how high, they grow
