lyrics
In these dark but wondrous times
the stranger came to Psyche at night
Their sins were calling
it’s too late to cry
Don’t look into this old and withered
heart of mine
Scarlet red like the autumn sky
yet with a sadness rising like the sea
She’s locked in her gilded cage
the echoes wail through the night
Love is a strange cloud,
a mysterious oddity
unwrapping our souls in a haze
And just like a madman
drawing a crowd of fools
you’re catching the whirlwind of life
In these dark but wondrous times
Eros came to Psyche at night
Their sins were calling
it’s too late to cry
What will you say, you old and withered heart of mine?
Cold and grey like a winter morning
there in the shelter of a shady grove
She’s locked in her gilded cage
the echoes wail through the night
Look up to the rainbow
to give it a kiss of love
Burnt with a fire by the sun
And just like the madman
drawing a crowd of fools
you’re catching the whirlwind of life
Don’t run away like a thief in the night
your life rolls on and on and on
Break away from your gilded cage
the echoes scream through the night
Love is a strange cloud,
a mysterious oddity
unwrapping our souls in a haze
And just like the madman
drawing a crowd of fools
you’re catching the whirlwind of life
Don’t look into this old and withered
heart of mine
What will you say, you old and withered heart of mine?
Don’t drown into these old and withered eyes of mine
the stranger came to Psyche at night
Their sins were calling
it’s too late to cry
Don’t look into this old and withered
heart of mine
Scarlet red like the autumn sky
yet with a sadness rising like the sea
She’s locked in her gilded cage
the echoes wail through the night
Love is a strange cloud,
a mysterious oddity
unwrapping our souls in a haze
And just like a madman
drawing a crowd of fools
you’re catching the whirlwind of life
In these dark but wondrous times
Eros came to Psyche at night
Their sins were calling
it’s too late to cry
What will you say, you old and withered heart of mine?
Cold and grey like a winter morning
there in the shelter of a shady grove
She’s locked in her gilded cage
the echoes wail through the night
Look up to the rainbow
to give it a kiss of love
Burnt with a fire by the sun
And just like the madman
drawing a crowd of fools
you’re catching the whirlwind of life
Don’t run away like a thief in the night
your life rolls on and on and on
Break away from your gilded cage
the echoes scream through the night
Love is a strange cloud,
a mysterious oddity
unwrapping our souls in a haze
And just like the madman
drawing a crowd of fools
you’re catching the whirlwind of life
Don’t look into this old and withered
heart of mine
What will you say, you old and withered heart of mine?
Don’t drown into these old and withered eyes of mine

To Touch the Sky
by The Emerald Dawnsupported by 62 fans who also own “Eros and Psyche”
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.
