about

Lyke Wake Dirge- This is one of the oldest songs we know. It is an traditional English folk song, in the Yorkshire dialect.There is no complete explanation of the song's strange imagery. It stands on the historical bridge between Anglo-Saxon paganism and early English Christianity. We find this appropriate, as the song itself is meant to accompany souls while they cross the bridge between earth and the spirit realm.
