lyrics
I came to the place where the lone pilgrim lay
And pensively stood by his tomb
When in a low whisper I heard something say
"How sweetly I sleep here alone"
"The tempest may howl and the loud thunder roar
And gathering storms may arise
But calm is my feeling at rest is my soul
The tears are all wiped from my eyes
The cause of my master compelled me from home
No kindred or relative nigh
I met the contingent and sank to my tomb
My soul flew to mansions on high
Go tell my companion and children most dear
To weep not for me now I'm gone
The same hand that lead me through scenes most severe
Has kindly assisted me home
And pensively stood by his tomb
When in a low whisper I heard something say
"How sweetly I sleep here alone"
"The tempest may howl and the loud thunder roar
And gathering storms may arise
But calm is my feeling at rest is my soul
The tears are all wiped from my eyes
The cause of my master compelled me from home
No kindred or relative nigh
I met the contingent and sank to my tomb
My soul flew to mansions on high
Go tell my companion and children most dear
To weep not for me now I'm gone
The same hand that lead me through scenes most severe
Has kindly assisted me home

Age of Apathy
by Aoife O'Donovansupported by 26 fans who also own “Lone Pilgrim”
The instrumentation and songwriting in this album is really top-tier. Aofie is one of my favorite folk/alt-country artists and she performs wonderfully, bringing her unique tone of voice to this project. This album was my first step into Aofie's artistry, and is firmly one of my favorite albums.
