lyrics
(Marsh, Ewen)
Twisting, turning, breaking, burning
Extinguished light...
Breaking, waking, sinking, shaking
It springs to life...
Breathing, screaming, shrieking, deceiving
The agony thrives...
Breaking, burning, twisting, turning
And so it begins...
Never mind the light, the world is circling, resting on the tide
The falling embers on the breeze – the eyes that haunt me
I never wanted that old fear, cold and lonely – feel surrounded
Although I feel it’s wrong, something inside is crying out for more
Crying out for more!
Your mind is not your own, stricken, tired, your face torn the bone
You throw your heart asunder; stoke the fire you’re craving
It’s just a seed demonic, it’s a ride and you are on it
I don’t know where you are, but something tells me you have strayed too far
Take what you will, while the time stands still
Take what you will, for the whispering of the reeds,
It’s called the wisp...
And now the lights are gone, glance behind the darkness is your home
I caught the starlight in the breeze, my grasp betrayed me
And now the fear is haunting, wished for life – it feeds now on me
A stranger in a land my father hid away from me so very far...
Take what you will, while the time stands still
Take what you will, for the whispering of the reeds,
It’s called the wisp...
Wispy-willow-wispy-man has wished you down the drain,
He bought you for a bargain, now your life is not the same
The world is full of dark things and his light is just to blame
Oh, wispy-willow-wispy-man has wished you down the drain!
Upside down and inside out and spinning all around
You’re paying for your penance but no pennies could be found
Trying just to navigate, and trying to be sane
You’ve wished the wispy-willow-man down the drain!
Take what you will, while the time stands still
Take what you will, for the whispering of the reeds,
It’s called the wisp, it’s called the wisp...

The White Witch - A Symphonic Trilogy
by Magentasupported by 36 fans who also own “Wisp”
This is the most beautiful symphonic progressive music I have heard since I first heard Yes' Magnification nearly 20 years ago. Robert Reed's orchestrations are magnificent, and are very much on par with Trevor Rabin's film scores as well as Larry Groupe's score for Magnification. I am a french horn player, and his soaring horn parts are some of the best I have ever heard. For some reason I could not select Part1: Sacrifice as my favorite track. It is indeed my favorite.
