lyrics

Clouds begin fading away
Unveiling a moonlit sky

In the solitude of the mountain pass
Beyond the wall of mist
No longer fearing for my life
My path’s becoming clearer

All of a sudden, I see strewn across the way
A silvern robe tattered and crimson-stained

Was so sure before of which path to take
Now starting to question everything

My thoughts turn back to The Triptych
Visions of serenity and chaos collide with The Myrehsia Tree
The root of all, sustaining a balance with its Song
That, once heard by The Wayfarer, became an aria of enlightenment

Powers have been bestowed on me, granted courage; fortitude
Just by visualising The Triptych I desire to know so much more

Astounded to believe I’ve journeyed so far for miles upon miles
Over the mountain range scrambling higher and higher
On a ridge like a knife’s edge, battling through strong winds

Finally reach the summit
Standing cold and depleted
Nevertheless, don’t feel any pain
As I look out to an open blue sea
Hope of a new world on far off horizons
From the precipice I see steps descend the mountain face
To a harbour at the water’s edge

Many shipwrecked remains scatter these shores
An instinct kicks in telling me there is something to find
Behind some rocks I uncover an unscathed boat
Launching it towards pulsing waves - sailing away

Out on lonely seas, heading nowhere
The full moon my only guide, where am I supposed to go now?
A familiar glow draws nearer, one now torn into five
Shining like diamonds capturing stars
I swear at this moment the ocean’s painted gold
Rays of light fall from the heavens to reveal an island

Heaven and earth moved as one, were they expecting me?
Is there knowledge greater than legend tells?

Drifting over calming waves as day breaks
Sparks fly toward a formidable cave
Cascading inside, I see a beautiful waterfall
These towering walls could come crashing down
Been trapped in darkness before
But something, somewhere tells me to go forth
Transported by a voice

Swept beneath the waterfall
What enchanting new world awaits?

In Time
by The Emerald Dawn

supported by 4 fans who also own “Of Mist, Mountain and Sea”

For those that remember the Look and Read series in the early eighties (which had such programmes as 'Dark Towers'), in my opinion this music evokes those feelings of mystery and wonder. Very, very impressed. Trebör

To Touch the Sky
by The Emerald Dawn

supported by 4 fans who also own “Of Mist, Mountain and Sea”

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! paliojen_black

A beautiful and haunting EP. I hope Marjana continues to produce material like this, in addition to her work in iamthemorning and the newly-formed Maer collaboration with Anna Murphy. Eleventh Earl of Blah
