lyrics
Time fades away
we live and they die
in the blinking of an eye
Time soon fades away
till we take our flight
into the misty sky
Desire, foul sin clad in insanity
The feast of blood not favoured by his God
The elder, black heart consumed with jealousy
slayed the beloved lamb for unrequited love
The sinner, slave to his chicanery
drunk on his heinous crime he lived a life of fear
But he’ll pay, he’ll pay for his profanity
Time fades away
we live and you die
in the blinking of an eye
Time soon fades away
in the circus of life
for the brother who has sinned
He was snatched away
to the depths of the Earth
by the Angel of the Night
Minds burning, we know what we must do:
plunge to depths of Heaven or Hell
His penance holds for eternity
Heaven is for the needy not the greedy
Anguish and poison be
the sole gifts life will bring him
Cries to his God in raging agony
and the eye of God is peering
I find no grace in his eyes
must put the threat away
The doting fool will be gone
He finds no grace in my eyes
Must put the threat away
the doting fool will be gone
Minds burning, we know what we must do:
plunge to depths of Heaven or Hell
Time fades away
we live and they die
in the blinking of an eye
Time soon fades away
till we take our flight
into the misty sky
The sinner and his eternal lies
The feast of blood not favoured by his God
we live and they die
in the blinking of an eye
Time soon fades away
till we take our flight
into the misty sky
Desire, foul sin clad in insanity
The feast of blood not favoured by his God
The elder, black heart consumed with jealousy
slayed the beloved lamb for unrequited love
The sinner, slave to his chicanery
drunk on his heinous crime he lived a life of fear
But he’ll pay, he’ll pay for his profanity
Time fades away
we live and you die
in the blinking of an eye
Time soon fades away
in the circus of life
for the brother who has sinned
He was snatched away
to the depths of the Earth
by the Angel of the Night
Minds burning, we know what we must do:
plunge to depths of Heaven or Hell
His penance holds for eternity
Heaven is for the needy not the greedy
Anguish and poison be
the sole gifts life will bring him
Cries to his God in raging agony
and the eye of God is peering
I find no grace in his eyes
must put the threat away
The doting fool will be gone
He finds no grace in my eyes
Must put the threat away
the doting fool will be gone
Minds burning, we know what we must do:
plunge to depths of Heaven or Hell
Time fades away
we live and they die
in the blinking of an eye
Time soon fades away
till we take our flight
into the misty sky
The sinner and his eternal lies
The feast of blood not favoured by his God

To Touch the Sky
by The Emerald Dawnsupported by 62 fans who also own “Cirkus”
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!

The Long Island metal band's third album etches arena-sized hooks into their jagged compositions, deftly balancing experimental and poppy inclinations.
