about

An intriguing kind of Balinese gamelan tone, both watery and metallic.

lyrics

Days of wandering nights of wine
Cathedral spinning wonder
Rushing Rhine river sublime

Both of ease and nervous haste
Like a full plate cast aside
After a mere taste

It’s in the motion, the movement that I crave
A chance but there’s so little left to hold and save

Too much to take in
Ancient tombs knights within
Died for glory long ago forgotten

Like fruits scattered neath the orchard trees
All but rotten as far as the eye can see

It’s in the motion, the movement that I crave
A chance a whim a dare
But so little left to hold and save

Watching the fog in a fickle fjord
Drifting like a creature
Something mystical and pure
Driven by whimsy like a child at play
Banished by the sunlight, it burns away

It’s in the motion, the movement that I crave
A chance a whim a dare
But so little left to hold and save

Constantly running away
In the face of all this
Do you say we are brave?
