There is no death. The stars go down to rise upon some other shore And bright in heaven’s jeweled crown They shine forevermore There is no death. There is no death. The forest leaves convert to life the lighted air The rocks disorganize to feed The hungry moss they bear There is no death, the dust we tread Shall change beneath the summer showers To golden wheat, to mellowed fruit Or rainbow tinted flowers There is no death. There is no death. The choicest gifts that heaven kindly lent to earth Are ever first to seek again the country of their birth Where all the things that grow for joy Entrusted to our care Whose loss has left us desolate Are safely garnered there They have but dropped their robes of clay To put their shining raiment on They have not wandered far away They are not dead or gone For all the boundless universe Is life, there are no dead There are no dead There is no death.

about

The songs on Air Ride Equipped continue to explore Sydnor’s unique blend of repurposed traditional melodies, forgotten historic texts, and fearless new compositions— all delivered with a generous helping of synthesizers, upright bass, bass clarinet and drums. They describe a progression from egoistic isolation ("We Go Alone") to spiritual unity ("Air Ride Equipped") that mirrors the ancient alchemical process.
