lyrics
I am one and you are two
Together we divine
Falling through a spiral cage
Oblivion’s design
I don’t fear your desolation
You don’t know my name
Infinite your hesitation
Eternity thy name
Up above the acid world
Is speaking out in tongues
Whispers to the world below
A venom of the blood
Nuclear intoxication
Seeping through your veins
The worm of man your congregation
A poison for the pain
Lamplighter sing a song
Lamplighter hanging on
Allow your eyes to rest tonight
The light you breathe will always shine
In the womb the serpent grows
It slithers through the wall
the tangled roots around your heart
are rotten to the core
Lingering the lamps are burning
Embers fading low
In your sleep a spirit yearning
For lives you’ll never know
As the old one turns her ways
The silent master sings
He tears his mind, now shadowblind
He drops down to his knees
Is his house a lightless prison
In this world he made?
Clamber for his words of wisdom
A former life betrayed
Dream Flight,
Running through your mind tonight
Then your heart beating
Tears in your eyes tonight
Take me to your dream
Nightmares will end
Darkness deceives you
Your flame will die
Shadows, they consume you
Warden of light
Your time is short now
Keepers of night
Rising, amber fading
Lamplighter sing a song
Lamplighter hanging on
Allow your eyes to rest tonight
The light you breathe will always shine
Our souls are black
Yours soon will join us
Life’s work, your flame
Lamplight now extinguished
Abyss of night
The void draws around you
Death’s kiss, your life
Now short, embers failing
Lamplighter sing a song
Lamplighter hanging on
Allow your eyes to rest tonight
The light you breathe will always shine
Together we divine
Falling through a spiral cage
Oblivion’s design
I don’t fear your desolation
You don’t know my name
Infinite your hesitation
Eternity thy name
Up above the acid world
Is speaking out in tongues
Whispers to the world below
A venom of the blood
Nuclear intoxication
Seeping through your veins
The worm of man your congregation
A poison for the pain
Lamplighter sing a song
Lamplighter hanging on
Allow your eyes to rest tonight
The light you breathe will always shine
In the womb the serpent grows
It slithers through the wall
the tangled roots around your heart
are rotten to the core
Lingering the lamps are burning
Embers fading low
In your sleep a spirit yearning
For lives you’ll never know
As the old one turns her ways
The silent master sings
He tears his mind, now shadowblind
He drops down to his knees
Is his house a lightless prison
In this world he made?
Clamber for his words of wisdom
A former life betrayed
Dream Flight,
Running through your mind tonight
Then your heart beating
Tears in your eyes tonight
Take me to your dream
Nightmares will end
Darkness deceives you
Your flame will die
Shadows, they consume you
Warden of light
Your time is short now

The light you breathe will always shine

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 IX-XIII)”
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!
