lyrics

All our hopes are as weak as a candle.
Warming the soul but do not burn bright.
What they all fear is more than they can handle.
To join the fallen stars tonight.

When the wind whispers an order
desperate men send their prayers to the sky.
The birds may carry them over the border.
First falls the silence then mothers will cry.

His tale is heard yet was not told.
His fruit is fallen yet it is still green.
His youth is spend yet he's not old.
He saw the worlds remnants yet he was not seen.

Then death stretches out her sweet hands.
Demanding a life's surrender.
She's smiling at him and he stands
considering to attend her.

He sought and found death in his womb.
He looked for life and love and found it was to burst.
He walked the earth and knew it's his tomb.
And now he takes his last breath
though he just took his first.

Then death stretches out her sweet hands.
Demanding a life's surrender.
She's smiling at him and he stands
considering to attend her.

Twilight

When you like your prog to be more beautiful and/or accessible than prog-proggy, than this is for you! Melodic as hell and yes, Peter Falconer is quite a singer! That wouldn't go half the way without the solid songs of Pat Sanders. A great combination of skills ;-) Carsten Pieper

THE DAY IS DONE
by Karmamoi

supported by 6 fans who also own “Candle I - The day is past yet there shone no sun”

The music is calm, balanced and very harmonious. The songs let you slide and take you on a unique journey. Every single note reflects something. I find it difficult to put into words what I hear and feel about the music. It's immersing yourself in another world, immersing yourself in a world of quiet and gentle sounds that make this album so unique and terrific. On the CD I have two songs that touch me a lot: 'PORTRAIT OF A MAN' and 'GETAWAY'. This album is highly recommended. Andrea Weiss

I love this album (and found it because John Young of Lifesigns mentioned Robin in an interview)! Against the Rain is my favorite, but also love Hinterland, Bloodline ... so much! Hope you play on Cruise to the Edge 2022! SarahLP
