lyrics

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

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
