Songs for Adar #11: Current 93 and Clodagh Simonds - Idumea

I wholeheartedly believe that Adar would love this song. Just imagine him singing it, alone on a windy clifftop. It's a whole vibe. Also, the lyrics make me think of his journey to the Halls of Mandos.

And am I born to die? To lay this body down! And must my trembling spirit fly Into a world unknown A land of deepest shade Unpierced by human thought The dreary regions of the dead Where all things are forgot Soon as from earth I go What will become of me? Eternal happiness or woe Must then my portion be! Waked by the trumpet sound I from my grave shall rise And see the Judge with glory crowned And see the flaming skies

nothing in the whole world hits like a shape note/sacred harp choir singing idumea. look this up and be overwhelmed with the beauty of human existence
