FADE
Stood above the rise - Staring down so far below
Clouds cascade across the plain to chase the light
Shapes within the drift - So hard to recognise
The ebb and flow that lies behind a changing mind
Space unfolds and space divides
Worlds spin by and worlds collide
Horizons hold the great beyond in shades of red and grey
So many points and in between
Silence shattering the dreams
Horizons hold the great beyond in shades of red and grey
Still fading out…
Caught beneath the tide - Alone in open water
Headrush burns in twists and turns of other times
Faces slowly shift - So hard to focus now
On what is right and what is left inside the changing mind
The cloudburst in the dead of night
The moonlit wash of morning light
Horizons hold the great beyond in shades of red and grey
Mystic movement of the dawn
Caught in clarity once more
Horizons hold the great beyond in shades of red and grey
Still fading out

SECOND CHANCE
A wiser man once told me
“You can’t change the past, in the end we just move on.”
I remember all he said - In silent hours beside his bed
Then he was gone
I caught a glimpse of yesterday today -
A photoflash of moments in conversation’s play
A fading signal from different time and space -
A long-forgotten page…
Breaking from the shadows of the heart
In a second chance…
I open up and reach back to the start
In a second chance…
An older friend once told me
She said, “Time will tell,
maybe it’s the only way we know?”
The memories fell like rain -
Flowing through the hopes and pain
We talked into the dawn
I caught a glimpse of yesterday today -
A thousand cries and whispers
beyond the windswept sky
A shroud of empty voices fell silently behind -
A long-forgotten time…
Holding on to light behind the dark
In a second chance…
I stand alone and tears tear me apart
In a second chance…

DELAYED REACTION
You say you want to know but still you hide away
From all the truths and answers that stand before you every day
You say you’ll let it go but never make it last
Is being here so different from all the pages of the past?
And all you do is wonder why it went so fast - As years tick by behind the glass…
And all you do is wonder why it never lasts - As all you miss is all you have
Time can heal or time can steal - Depending on where you stand
In precious schemes or shattered dreams that bow to its demands
Behind delayed reaction - Beyond dividing lines
Driven to distraction to stand the test of time
You say you’ll make it right but never let it pass
Is happiness so hard to handle? So hard to grasp?
You say you want to try to instigate the change
And all the whys and wherefores that held you back will fall away
But all you do is wonder how to lay the blame
On anyone or any other name
But all you do is wonder how to hide the shame
Of everything that you let slip away
You say you’re OK - But there’s fear behind the eyes
And in the dark reflection the hurt you hold is hard to hide
You say you only wish - But never even tried
Is all that’s in your head for real or just a trick of your mind?
Now all you do is look for any way to find
To let it quickly pass you by
Now all you do is look for any reason why
To run from everything inside

ENDGAME
Inside Information - Not quite what it seems
Facts too often clouded - Design distorts the dream
A twisted situation created to deceive
Drawn into the firing line - Unconcerned with other needs
Stalemate destination - Another silent truce
You won’t bend and I won’t break - Some things are never new
Silent desperation walks the shadow line
Disrespect becomes regret - Tasting pain from wasting time
Small talk in crowded rooms
Hidden thoughts hold hidden truths
Double talk on busy streets might pave the way for quick retreats…
“Ask me again - Show me again
Whatever you say it’s all the same”
Needless confrontation neither side can win
Hard to take or separate the sinners from the sin
So little expectation - Giving up the fight
Tired of time, tired of trying - Tired of being tired
Small talk in crowded rooms
Passing time to hide the proof
Open talk on neutral ground might pave the way for getting out…

WATCHING
Another lack of reason - Another point in time
Breaking news upon the screen - Breaking up inside
Another way of wanting another way of life
Falsely played across the day as honesty’s a crime
Walk along the city streets and faces turn away
Rejecting recognition every single day
A need for help or just for time
No more, no less from empty eyes
Watching as the world spins by without them yet again
Another way of hiding - Another life displaced
So many lines that falsify for the sake of saving face
Another new disaster - Another worthless waste
Questions asked - So deftly passed without a point to make
Walk along the city streets - The answers never change
Unsocial isolation dictates the pace of pain
No time for need - No time for help
From empty minds that care no less
Watching as the world spins by around them yet again

CIRCLES & SQUARES
I. Through the edge of darkness - Where webs of neon pierce the night
I hear you talking to me - And in my head, I turn back time
Driving on - Still driving on… All that was is all that’s done
The mirror marks out yesterday - Tomorrow’s still to come
If silence is a kindness, why does this pain still numb?
I guess there’s nothing else to say - Nothing more to do
We stumble through the blindness until we’re torn in two
Over every moment - They’re spinning, twisting, cold and clear
Memory of word for word - All the wasted days and years Turn around - Can’t turn around - Moving on to other ground…
The mirror marks out yesterday -Tomorrow’s still to come
If silence is the great escape, what are we running from?
I guess there’s somewhere else to go - Something more to do
If we can walk down different paths, maybe we’ll get through?
II. Eyes wide open - Racing out headlong - Chasing thrills under summer sky
This constant motion - A look and then it’s gone -
The hourglass still marks out the time - Where the restless run…
So many secrets - Silent battle scars - Conversations and collisions
So close to home - And yet worlds apart - Dreams betray the indecision
Where the end’s begun…
So we drift around the outside - I feel the distance strain
Too far apart for our own safety - Too close to ever play it safe
Circles and squares - Changing shapes - Human geometry
From “Who knows?” to “Who cares?” That’s always how it seems to be
III. The road ahead will meet me - The day threads slivers through the sky
The second thoughts are nothing more - And now all behind
The early hours cut through me - The world outside chills my bones
The sound of static and passing traffic - And now I’m all alone…
IV. The mourning man rises - To cast his eyes over yesterday’s forgotten news
In silence - A frown at the words that surround the snapshots of confusion
So take these wings and cut them down - And hold the dream and turn it around
As everything stops in this moment alone - A veil of tears as yesterday’s gone
The rhythm divides the fall and the rise
On roadsides running with the rain as colours -
Falling silent to grey to fracture in the half-light haze
So take these fears and let them fall
And stand and scream at what went before
As everything stops in this moment alone - A trail of tears as yesterday’s gone
Tracing the outline of different time - A window’s edge in broken dust
All that’s before and all that’s to come will soon dissolve…
Walking a line of dream and desire – - The ghosts that lie between the walls
The mourning man hides his empty eyes and walks away…
V. A requiem - From the inside out - A sad lament for all that was undone
A requiem - For every day not faced - The last remains will fall away…
A requiem - For every trapped reflection
In time again to go back to the start?
A requiem - For every distanced question
Until the end…

To Touch the Sky
by The Emerald Dawn
supported by 8 fans who also own “HUMAN GEOMETRY (Album 2023)”
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!
