A pinch of eternity
a breath of above
the rise and fall of nations
our everlasting love
We are made
through toil and trial
Secure the future
or squander the past
lay down your weapons
or hold yourself fast
We are made
through toil and trial
face your fears
without denial
We will thrive
through uncertainty and doubt
sharpen our spears
our strength will win out
We are made
through toil and trial
A pinch of eternity
a breath of above
the rise and fall of nations
our everlasting love
We are made
through toil and trial
face your fears
without denial

Honour Again

To honour the fallen
To honour again
To light up the beacons
To start again
In all of our Mountains
and in all of our valleys
Cherish, this God-given strength, that's bestowed (deep within)
To pick up the pieces
Where so much was lost
The collective consciousness unfolds
No matter the cost
There never was a time in this world
With so much at stake
Cherish, this honour-bound fate, in our hands
There comes a time in our lives
When we must leave behind
The child that each of us knew
And become what we are
We each must take up our sword
and with it our shield
Cherish, this great sacrifice, for our lands

Spirit of the Age

There was a time when we danced
merry in the forest's colourful hues
many shaded leaf and bough
and the sky overhead was blue
So subtle was the magic
and clear was the way
unlike our world so tragic
that we live in today
The Dark Age rears its ugly head
and tears at our souls
if once you find your feet
stay the course and be bold
So subtle was the magic
and clear was the way
unlike our world so tragic
that we live in today
I lay down my weary head to sleep
and wake to see another day
I become lost in thought so deep
and for our world I pray
So subtle was the magic
and clear was the way
unlike our world so tragic
that we live in today

I still recognise that face
though downcast and out of place
unsure of what's to come
always feeling like you're on the run
I remember the smile
that lingered for a while
it's still there, hidden in the heath
hidden under careworn grief
These are the things that can't fall apart
these are the things they can't take away
we were born in the right time
the right place
These are the things that can't fall apart
these are the things they can't take away
we were born in the night time
Of God's grace
We tread with unsure gait
through ruins once great
and though ruins they now might be
their song echoes through eternity
We, together, can make
a new destiny for our childrens' sake
smash our chains and lift up our heads
and sacrifice for our destiny's tread
These are the things that can't fall apart
these are the things they can't take away
we were born in the right time
the right place
These are the things that can't fall apart
these are the things they can't take away
we were born in the night time
Of God's grace
We tread through lonely sombre fields of black
and we may mourn, but there's no looking back
our path is laid before us in the gloom
and if we turn from it, we seal our doom
These are the things that can't fall apart
these are the things they can't take away
we were born in the right time
the right place
These are the things that can't fall apart
these are the things they can't take away
we were born in the night time
Of God's grace

Excellent medieval folk, IGR, & those with ears to hear. I love the sense of mysticism and deep, introspective ponder this album conveys, & the honest down-to-earth folky lyrics. Simply wonderful yet soulfully rich. Highlights for me are tracks 2, 5, 6, & 12. IGR truly capture what I feel is an authentic sense of a medieval bard at a woodland rill pondering the mysteries of life. Highly recommended. 8.5+/10.
