    Story Behind the Song
    Flicker Of Light is one of those unusual songs that kept nagging at my mind until I could flesh it out in music. The song revolves around the melodic bass passage that begins the track, to which the chorus is also tied. The song was inspired by a trip through the Virginia mountains, where all that could be seen of human civilization were mere "flickers of light"... But to go even deeper than that, the song is a reminder to me that I am not getting any younger, and I need to experience what I can of the World, and make a difference before all that's left of me are "memories and a faint glimmer in the night." While not meant to sound morbid, the song seems to be a rallying cry for living life to the fullest.

    Lyrics
    Flicker Of Light-
    by Andrew G. Bolton (of Albenesh)
    created 6-21-2000
    copyright 2001 Albenesh Music

    (Chorus:)
    Flicker of Light, echoes in the dark
    And beyond the silence
    Mountains march on, up against the night
    Can you see them there.

    TIME- has no meaning for you
    Your life is gone in the blink of an eye
    WHAT- will you do with your hours
    Before the Sandman's gaze strikes fear in your heart
    LIFE- is too precious to waste
    Make sure you catch it before it expires.
    Off in the distance
    Balefires burn
    Marking the harvest
    As our world turns...
    FOOLS- fill themselves up with pride
    Take things for granted? Life does not go this way
    LEARN- to express what you feel
    you may find there's no time for any goodbyes! Goodbyes!!
    (Your life cannot wait) Goodbye!
    (Your life cannot wait) Goodbye!

    (Chorus)

    YES- you can move all watchtowers
    YES- you survey all you see
    BUT- can you refill a life
    A life whose soul is empty...
    Off in the distance
    Balefires burn
    Marking the harvest
    As our world turns!
    LIFE- is ecstatic indeed
    But it's gone in the blink of an eye
    SOON- there will be nothing more
    But memories and a faint glimmer in...
    ... THE NIGHT! (Chorus behind)
    ... THE NIGHT!
    Flicker of Light!!!!!!!!!!!
