about

[Originally taken from "From a Point of Existence" 2012]

With "From a Point of Existence" we were not quite sure how to follow up the Floydian "Road to Darkness" and Folky "Songs from the Solway", so, if in doubt, go heavy!

This song literally came out of nowhere and is one of the few songs where Dean wrote the music specifically with Luke's voice in mind, rather than his own.

We love this song, it encompasses everything we love about Prog and British rock/metal and felt it was important to include it in this compilation for the main riff alone!

lyrics

In the darkest hour will you see the light?
In the highest tower will you fear the night?
The clouds gather round me,
A veil that steals the dawn
Breathing shades devour,
As when I was born
Feel electrocution dance accross the sky,
A stay of execution looks you in the eye
Now you're coming with me to a time before,
Where the dark things gather,
As when I was born

My eyes before me, see the gathering of the clouds.
Where distant thunder sounds keep me awake.
Will you come meet me by the gathering of the clouds?
Where the shadow of the sky takes me away...

Feel the morning tremble,
Feel the coming storm,
Now my sight defies me,
As when I was born.

Oh Take me away...
Oh please take me away.

My eyes before me, see the gathering of the clouds.
Where distant thunder sounds keep me awake.
Will you come meet me by the gathering of the clouds?
Where the shadow of the sky takes me away...
