Lyrics

Crimson sky on the gritstone edge
The beast lies low by a drystone hedge
No cameras here, just sheep and frost
In the Peak District, it counts what it costs
Midday fades and the phones go dead
The air grows thin and cold instead
It holds its breath instead
Oh, the quiet interlude
Up in the Peak District now
Under the heather
Something's waking in the ground somehow
Old wounds pulling under limestone land
The quiet interlude
Waiting with an open hand
It sleeps in slow by the broken wall
Wind in the bracken, no crowd at all
A tramline hum from a village far
Then one sharp turn like a drawn-back scar
Midday fades and the phones go dead
The air grows thin and cold instead
It holds its breath instead
Oh, the quiet interlude
Up in the Peak District now
Under the heather
Something's waking in the ground somehow
Old wounds pulling under limestone land
The quiet interlude
Waiting with an open hand
Don't ask what wakes it, keep back now
It knows these paths and it knows your smell
Every ridge line hides a way to break
It sets its jaw and it's coming for the game
Farmers look up, then keep moving on
By the reservoir, the mist hangs long
No roar, no rush, just a heart set back
One sleepy beast before the attack
Midday fades and the phones go dead
The air grows thin and cold instead
It holds its breath instead
Oh, the quiet interlude
Up in the Peak District now
Under the heather
Something's waking in the ground somehow
Old wounds pulling under limestone land
The quiet interlude
Waiting with an open hand
