lyrics
What am I? I’m the child that should not be
Born of rust, secrets forged inside of me
Strange anatomy, my mortality
Father time, not the man you used to know
Deep inside, ticks a heart that I don’t own
Now the old one slows
Will you let it go?
Copper mind, rusted eyelids sealed in crome
There’s an orphan child, somewhere between love and hope
Will you let him go, only time will know
Move and sway
Advance through the shadow
I will wait, fear life in my dreams
Far away, you danced with the devil
Stole his heart, then made it in me
Copper mind, rusted eyelids sealed in crome
There’s an orphan child, somewhere between love and hope
Will you let him go, only time will know
Mr Night, they feed on your hunger
Shadow spy, a child in your eyes
In my brain are sparks and confusions
Move away Mr Thief in the night
High and low, the watchmen are calling
The pastor slows, turns his head to sky
All at once, the brass-bound seek refuge
Chains they tow, bring the old girl to life
Copper mind, rusted eyelids sealed in crome
There’s an orphan child, somewhere between love and hope
Will you let him go, only time will know
Born of rust, secrets forged inside of me
Strange anatomy, my mortality
Father time, not the man you used to know
Deep inside, ticks a heart that I don’t own
Now the old one slows
Will you let it go?
Copper mind, rusted eyelids sealed in crome
There’s an orphan child, somewhere between love and hope
Will you let him go, only time will know
Move and sway
Advance through the shadow
I will wait, fear life in my dreams
Far away, you danced with the devil
Stole his heart, then made it in me
Copper mind, rusted eyelids sealed in crome
There’s an orphan child, somewhere between love and hope
Will you let him go, only time will know
Mr Night, they feed on your hunger
Shadow spy, a child in your eyes
In my brain are sparks and confusions
Move away Mr Thief in the night
High and low, the watchmen are calling
The pastor slows, turns his head to sky
All at once, the brass-bound seek refuge
Chains they tow, bring the old girl to life
Copper mind, rusted eyelids sealed in crome
There’s an orphan child, somewhere between love and hope
Will you let him go, only time will know

When you like your prog to be more beautiful and/or accessible than prog-proggy, than this is for you! Melodic as hell and yes, Peter Falconer is quite a singer! That wouldn't go half the way without the solid songs of Pat Sanders. A great combination of skills ;-)

To Touch the Sky
by The Emerald Dawnsupported by 9 fans who also own “The Bewildering Conscience of a Clockwork Child”
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!
