The Curse Lyrics:
And the people went into their hide, they oh
From the start they didn't know exactly why, why
Winter came and made it so all look alike, look alike
Underneath the grass would grow, aiming at the sky

It was swift, it was just, another wave of a miracle
But no one, nothing at all would go for the kill
If they called on every soul in the land, on the moon
Only then would they know a blessing in disguise

The curse ruled from the underground down by the shore
And their hope grew with a hunger to live unlike before
The curse ruled from the underground down by the shore
And their hope grew with a hunger to live unlike before

Tell me now of the very souls that look alike, look alike
Do you know the stranglehold covering their eyes?
If I call on every soul in the land, on the moon
Tell me if I'll ever know a blessing in disguise

The curse ruled from the underground down by the shore
And their hope grew with a hunger to live unlike before
And the curse ruled from the underground down by the shore
And their hope grew with a hunger to live unlike before

All the comments are talking about the voice, but few are talking about this fantastic band and the talented violinist, pure perfection

I'm in 2024 and this is the most artistic piece of music I've ever listened to. Everything about this sound says time and effort makes beautiful.. There wasn't a note missed

Who are listening to this beautiful song in 2021😍?

[haxhole]

I see everyone praising the band, the sound engineers, Agnes. But no one is talking about the cleaning crew, i couldn't see a speck of dust on those floors. Timeless cleanliness 👏

Somebody in summer #2024?
Lisa Gerard's voice is like the stairway 2 heaven. She brings you till the gates in a misty background where i'am anxious to see my Mom again and await my judgement.

[tugruldemir]

Piano, viola, cello and the sweetest voice. What more could you want?

[janmeeee]

agnes' songs always make me feel like i'm walking though the woods during autumn/winter, feeling every bit of nature by myself <3

[johnalexander]

2024, this is still an amazing beauty

[lacey]

I just can't believe that 2 strings and a piano make such an astounding, haunting sound. This is the kind of music that makes you cherish the art.

[Likeapigeon]

The cello, the violin, the voice...they tried to make a song but messed up and made absolute art.

[Aka_eddieG]

I found this masterpiece in the middle of 2022 and I thank life, I think it's the most beautiful thing I've heard in a long time and it helped me encourage myself to get up from my depression, not everything is lost! It's absolutely amazing. Thank you Agnes 🙏🏻❤
