It’s called Verses Echo, With Tear Flow.   Lyrics   From the tunnel we appear That once led, to perdition In the centre circle we oppose An invisible, forfeit nation  Sing a poem to me To remember, the lost love From between the desert and the sea Verses echo, with tear flow Echo, with tear flow  In the places that we played We will now stand, in corners In the black disc where you parade Now a field of, threat and torture  Sing a poem to me To remember, the lost love From between the desert and the sea Verses echo, with tear flow Echo, with tear flow.   James has compiled this playlist of songs which feature in the podcast and songs which inspired the creation of the album https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1QZhQDIS4idmRJVnERXx6D?si=B8RsrXhsQwSddIs5e0YOdw  You can buy and stream "Even in Exile" here https://orcd.co/eveninexile
