The theme song to BBC’s The Living and the Dead.

The “Lyke-Wake Dirge” is a traditional English song that tells of the soul’s travel, and the hazards it faces, on its way from earth to purgatory. Though the song is from the Christian era, and features references to Christianity, much of the symbolism is thought to be of heathen origin.

Lyrics under cut.
