The Coffin Road…a stop motion film.

Описание: A wee story about the ancient Coffin Road on the Isle of Harris Scotland where coffins were carried from the east coast to the west coast as the ground was unsuitable for digging graves…check out the lyrics written by Tommy Kerr for the new song The Coffin Road to be released soon on a forthcoming album by our duo The Unrelated(Kerr/Kerr).
If you enjoy this wee film please like and share and support amateur filmmakers. Cheers⚰️

THE COFFIN ROAD

They used to carry their dead from the eastern bay
Over to the west on funeral day
Backs were breaking with the heavy load
But they carried their burden on 
The coffin road

They couldn’t bury them there where the soil is thin
And it blows away on the island wind
No one talking and the only sound
Was the mourners footsteps on 
The stony ground

Gather your sorrow, gather your fears
As you walk with ghosts and cry a million tears
There’s a lesson to be learned
The coffin road is a road of no return

The path is long and the way is rough
The things you do for those you love
Your coat is black, and your mood is too
You know someday they'll carry you

Gather your sorrow, gather your fears
As you walk with ghosts and cry a million tears
There’s a lesson to be learned
The coffin road is a road of no return

And we’re walking the coffin road
We’re all walking on the coffin road
And we’re walking the coffin road
Dead men walking on the coffin road
