about

The 10th and final track on The Pale And Crescent Moon album.

lyrics

The sun has cast its shadows and the darkness comes too soon,
and all we’re left to see by is a pale and crescent moon.
Rusted barbed wire hedgerows and trees of twisted steel,
and rows of eroded engines are the flowers in this field.

And the birds have stopped their singing and the frogs no longer croak,
and all the lands are darkened by night time’s shadow cloak.
A cold wind blows right through you and sings a haunting tune
and all we’re left to see by is a pale and crescent moon.

This is the valley where the footsteps walk no more
the place where the spirit’s voices carry to the shore.
The ocean we must travel to reach the foreign land
and lonely souls stand waiting for someone to take their hand.

All that we can carry is the baggage we have made,
and all we can afford are the prices we have paid,
all the time we’re given is the times we can recall,
and how high we see ourselves is the height from which we fall.

The distant sound of thunder is the only sound at all,
cold drops of water as the rain begins to fall.
The one’s to whom we answer, will call upon us soon,
and all we’re left to see by is a pale and crescent moon.

This is the valley where the footsteps walk no more
the place where the spirit’s voices carry to the shore.
The ocean we must travel to reach the foreign land
and lonely souls stand waiting for someone to take their hand.
