Listen to the track:
đ¶ Fields of Stone and Code
The National Trust commissioned a geophysics survey near to the old Wembury Resevoir site which hinted at the presence of Hut Circles up on the ridge. I note from historical records that a Bronze Age gold ingot was found very near to the same location. Imagine losing your gold , or perhaps it was buried for safe-keeping. If only the fields could talk....
(Verse 1)
Before the roads, before the wire,
They lit the dark with open fire.
No names, no signs, no sound of cars,
Just sky and stone, and ancient stars.
The ground remembers where they stayed
Now we decode what time betrayed.
No eyes could see what lies below,
Until the signal starts to glow…
(Chorus)
Fields of stone and code,
Secrets underfoot explode.
Lines we never knew were there
Now they shine from satellite air.
Fields of stone and code,
Ghosts we only find in mode.
They lived, they loved, they left no road
Just fields of stone… and code.
We fly the drones, we scan the land,
We trace their lives with data’s hand.
No walls remain, no tools survive,
But still their stories feel alive.
The circuits hum, the past ignites
Their shadowed homes now lit with light.
We walk above what time erased,
Then watch the future interlace…
Fields of stone and code,
Secrets underfoot explode.
Lines we never knew were there
Now they shine from satellite air.
Fields of stone and code,
Ghosts we only find in mode.
They lived, they loved, they left no road
Just fields of stone… and code.
From fire to fibre,
From drumbeat to data,
We carry their echo
Through every layer.
Fields of stone and code,
Hidden maps that now unfold.
They’re gone, but still we share the load
These fields of stone… and code.
