Hugo of Bath by Shaman Elect

New track from Shaman Elect's debut album, "Mind the Ether"

"Hugo of Bath" Lyrics:

Hugo went out to the town and held out a proposal
(they knew he had to go, they knew he had to go)
He said just give me a horse, an axe, and a saddle
(where do you think he’ll go, where do you think he’ll go)
Out there where the beasts can roam, where a man is not a man but a creature alone, is where he’ll go (where he’ll go), to find a piece of mind in his remaining time
He didn't know his plan could fail, that ignorance is bliss until you miss the nail (no he didn’t know), that any little thing could go wrong

Out there in his dreamy world, he tried to find a place where his mind could dwell
but all he could find, (all he could find), were blankets and blankets of snow
In the cold, his thoughts grew dark, and blinded by his doubts he lost sight of his mark and collapsed, (and collapsed), down into the rabbit hole
Woken up his sight was weak, but finally it hit him, and he could finally speak what he did know, (what he did know), it wasn’t what they taught him in Sunday school
We cannot succumb to despair, the antidote exists, and it is we who bear the breakthrough, (the breakthrough) that we all need to go on
