FLOODPLAIN
VERSE 1
And when the water streams
Down through a misty vale
Then will the tears flood out
To the silent plain below
VERSE 2
And in the torrents move
A spirit loosed unbound
Carried cries forward flows
Push against the waves of lies
CHORUS
Shimmer in light
Shimmers in space
Shimmer in light
Shimmer in light as the waves turn
And the waters they wait for me
They wait for me
VERSE 3
And then the torrent that turns
Upon the cold flood plain
Lakes in shadows depths found
In the hails of a minds pain
CHORUS
Shimmer in light
Shimmers in space
Shimmer in light
Shimmer in light as the waves turn
And the waters they wait
They wait for me
CHORUS
Shimmer in light
Shimmers in space
Shimmer in light
Shimmers in space
Shimmer in light as the waves turn
And the waters they wait
The waters they are waiting for me
CHORUS
Shimmer in light
Shimmers in space
Shimmer in light
Shimmers in space
Shimmer in light as the waves turn
And the waters they wait
The waters they are waiting for me
VERSE 4
Subsiding clearing storm
Lay the ghost of the winters smile
Carried along in the undertow
To push the tides of fate
OUTRO
Shimmer in light
Shimmers in space
Shimmer in light
Shimmer in light as the waves turn
And the waters they wait
They wait for me

Arise (A Silence is Missing)
VERSE 1
She will walk in on the Dawn
Singing new harmony calling
Learning from the moon
Singing new elven songs
Dance in the full sunlight
They live again in days
Ever the song she sings
Echos through an ancient land
Echos through an ancient land
CHORUS 1
Arise tether break

Where haunting visions were rendered
As she sails away
As she sails away
Arise tether and break
Like sailors in the dawn
Sensations numbered in constant forms
As she sails away
As she sails away
On the rising sea

Crossing the meridian of day
Singing new twilight harmonies
Walking from the sun
The evenings cascade calls
Enhanced again in night
Dances in the full moon
Ever the song she sings
Increasing faery shine
Increasing faery shine
CHORUS 2
Arise tether and break
Out of the night
Where haunting visions were rendered
As she sails away

As she sails away
On the rising sea

On the rising sea
Arise tether break

Recalling twilight harmonies
Dance in the full sunlight
Sleepwalker of dreams
Flames rise and fall
Crossing another meridian
To an ancient land at sea
Where heaven stands again
Where heaven stands again
CHORUS 2
Arise tether and break
Out of the night
Where haunting visions were rendered
As she sails away
As she sails away
Arise tether and break
Like sailors in the dawn
Sensations numbed in constant forms
As she sails away
As she sails away
Bridge
On the rising sea
Arise tether break

Arise tether break
In the night

Sail the rivers lost out of time
Fleeting plains we have drifted through
In hidden currents we gain our strength
To look on the endless plains renew

River streams memories show
Broken debris it rolls away
Remembered places from long before
Carried by rivers to the ocean floor

Disturbed figments unfold in time
Synchronised move and flow
Through the plains of a moments song
We return to all thats gone

Holding hands towards the wind
Holding hands through time
A stillness descends on old souls at night
Where once we shined in starlight
Where once we shined in starlight

A fog descends on the estuary
Another sunlight where we shine
The old souls that stand recognised

Under the grey shadows of the trees
Observing stars in another sky
Unleash the burning of release

Driving the crystal static stars
The shadow lands are calling now

Soul in rural places
Lost unkept faces

They are not the only ones

Touching hearts in times haze
Circled hands that will live forever

SPRING’S DREAM
(THE IVY COVERED TOWER)
VERSE 1
On Springs dream
She is looking on the world
Where streams pour forth
Her remembered hidden demons
Time seem so slow
VERSE 2
Where has this life taken us
Through its ivy covered towers
Holding many cups time seems to grow
Time seems to grow
CHORUS
Seeds and flowers on spring streams
Different worlds that have been
Hands in refracted waters gleam
New flowers sail in on springs dream
VERSE 3
Pure snow she will cause to fall
Covering the bleak white mountains
Drinking from the cup that seems to grow
Washed in alternative flows
VERSE 4
Clear water from the skies arise
In crystal waters demons flee
New opened doors their frames to ease
Bringing hope from the aether waves
CHORUS
Seeds and flowers on spring streams
Different worlds that have been
Hands in refracted waters gleam
New flowers sail in on springs dream

The third Sanctuary album is also the best of the trilogy. This one dares even more to expand the Oldfieldian style in new and exciting directions. It may be sacrilege to suggest it, but if this *were* a genuine Oldfield album, many might say it was one of his best, too. It's true that Rob Reed is standing on the shoulders of a giant, but he is a giant talent in his own right. Often the music brings tears to the eyes, as if it were the soundtrack to the climax of a hard-won cinematic story.

Dancing in the Face Of Danger
by Exploring Birdsong
supported by 6 fans who also own “Floodplain”
A second EP from this trio, who do not feature guitar in their instrumentation. Despite that, it is a very satisfying progressive rock outfit, which veers into pop territory at times. The layered vocals are the pivot from which the drummer and both keyboardists turn. There is some violin, viola, and cello, adding to the density of the production, which maintains a delicacy, even in the heaviest parts

Fantasy progressive rock is not something I'd ever thought of. Yet Foreign Land, especially the Foreign Land track itself, transported me straight into an unknown, magical fantasy world.

Sustained by seismic psych riffs, proggy shifts, and vivid sci-fi storytelling, these Milwaukee cosmonauts command respect.

Finnish rockers supplement their disciplined power prog with a cornucopia of lush psychedelic textures, with uncompromising, heady results.

Marauding symphonic metal that pairs stampeding riffs with castle-size organ and tremendous blasts of brass.

For those that remember the Look and Read series in the early eighties (which had such programmes as 'Dark Towers'), in my opinion this music evokes those feelings of mystery and wonder. Very, very impressed.
