One may fall down
and feel estranged
One may weep and hope
For a day long gone
But remember these words
when doubt takes hold
remember them always
whether young or old
Our torch shines brightly, Now and forever
though we may die, forever and always
till eternity's end
now and always
though we may perish
Always and ever
One may feel lost
and like a black sheep
One may feel tired
and ready to sleep
that final sleep
that all mortals will live to see
Stand up, my brother, my sister
and look me in the eye when I say
Our torch shines brightly, Now and forever
though we may die, forever and always
till eternity's end
now and always
though we may perish
Always and ever
Walk among the roses
smell all the scents
gaze toward the Heavens
when your energy is spent
Look up at the stars
and imagine yourself
shining, in the darkness
as a beacon of hope
One may seek Truth
and fail to find
One may sit in silence
and leave all illusion behind
One may find their path
in giving themselves
and embracing the struggle
in these dark times of ours
Our torch shines brightly, Now and forever
though we may die, forever and always
till eternity's end
now and always
though we may perish
Always and ever

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. Alrihkh

L'envoûtement est bien au rendez-vous. Écouter cet album, c'est se plonger dans un état méditatif, empreint de profondeur, de gravité et, peut-être, d' un peu de mélancolie. 5/5 baudelagon
