lyrics
What can you tell me?
What did you bring?
Reaching high, amber fire
The sorrow that stings
I’ve heard the stories
You’ve heard them too
Now it’s night, Lamps alight
A memory exhumed
Lamplighter, Lamplighter, show me the way
With your hand upon the veil of dark
Sure night will fade
Lamplighter, Lamplighter, lights lead the way
When you’re hanging on, to morning song
You’ll only pray
Lamplighter sing a song, Lamplighter hanging on
Allow your eyes to rest tonight
The light you breathe, will always shine
Night at your window, Darkness your smile
Through the steam, Embers gleam,
A torch in the wild
A rich man, a fable, a pauper, a child
Through the streets, glances meet,
Creations reviled
Sweet sang the whisper, strange songs of fate
Creeping low, undertow
The specter of hate
Dawn be thy maker, sunset thy grave
The ghost of sun, all we’ve done
A shadow enslaved
Lamplighter, Lamplighter, show me the way
With your hand upon the veil of dark
Sure night will fade
Lamplighter, Lamplighter, lights lead the way
When you’re hanging on, to morning song
You’ll only pray
Lamplighter sing a song, Lamplighter hanging on
Allow your eyes to rest tonight
The light you breathe, will always shine
Bring the Night to Life!
Nightmares will end,
Darkness my friend
What did you bring?
Reaching high, amber fire
The sorrow that stings
I’ve heard the stories
You’ve heard them too
Now it’s night, Lamps alight
A memory exhumed
Lamplighter, Lamplighter, show me the way
With your hand upon the veil of dark
Sure night will fade
Lamplighter, Lamplighter, lights lead the way
When you’re hanging on, to morning song
You’ll only pray
Lamplighter sing a song, Lamplighter hanging on
Allow your eyes to rest tonight
The light you breathe, will always shine
Night at your window, Darkness your smile
Through the steam, Embers gleam,
A torch in the wild
A rich man, a fable, a pauper, a child
Through the streets, glances meet,
Creations reviled
Sweet sang the whisper, strange songs of fate
Creeping low, undertow
The specter of hate
Dawn be thy maker, sunset thy grave
The ghost of sun, all we’ve done
A shadow enslaved
Lamplighter, Lamplighter, show me the way
With your hand upon the veil of dark
Sure night will fade
Lamplighter, Lamplighter, lights lead the way
When you’re hanging on, to morning song
You’ll only pray
Lamplighter sing a song, Lamplighter hanging on
Allow your eyes to rest tonight
The light you breathe, will always shine
Bring the Night to Life!
Nightmares will end,
Darkness my friend

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 Lamplighter (Parts I-VIII)”
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!
