about

Center of the Night is the first fully-produced original studio track since 2007's Hilarious Death Blues album by Antic Clay (which will be available shortly on BandCamp). It is part of a body of new songs from a forthcoming album to be titled "Broom of Fire."

Our goal is to press Brother Wolf Sister Moon and Center of the Night as a 12" vinyl single, and raise funds to create Broom of Fire in its entirety. We are entirely new to crowdfunding, so please stay tuned as we put all the necessary pieces in place.

Most of all, we hope this song stirs something vital in you, that you love it, and share it abundantly. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

lyrics

Center of the Night

In the center of the night

Vacant and naked in the wind
God will I make it to my twin

In the center of the night

A hideous noise and a grin
An idiot poised on a pin

In the center of the night

Testimony stuck in my craw
For the blackest luck of the draw

And then I saw my baby in the light
And then I saw my baby in the light
In the center of the night

A murder of vultures wheeled over the game
Endarkened the play, flew on unnamed
And the song was accursed, a magic flaw
The tongue in reverse, the war so raw
And then I saw my baby in the light
And then I saw my baby in the light
In the center of the night

And then I saw my baby in the light
In the center of the night
