lyrics
The black crow sings
The poet writes
The words that break the hearts
Of all the girls in the ancient towns
Who's lives have fallen apart
The black cloak fell to the ground
To stop the water's flow
And all would die in Bedlam town
Now the land of ghosts
The treadmill sweats
With blood of those
Who's feet had sought
To seek the freedom
Beneath the dirt the corpses rot
Their future now has gone
But come the time the hero lands
The game has just begun
And when all have nothing more to say
The battle has been won
Until the poet's pen breaks
The battle's just begun
The lovers spill their inky words
Give birth to their sons
The soldiers drag their bodies forth
Their hearts are full of joy
The poet's dream has just begun
And started to destroy

To Touch the Sky
by The Emerald Dawnsupported by 25 fans who also own “The Poet”
Wonderful, beautiful, densely layered music. I'm glad I gave this album several headphone listens before commenting. It did not immediately strike a chord with me, but the more I listened the more I began to understand and appreciate how fantastically rich and deep the sound is. For fans of atmospheric and melodic prog, this is an excellent addition. Bass and drum work are exquisite!
