    CD: Darkness Falls
    Credits: As Shadows Fade

    Story Behind the Song
    Lyrics written in the Isle of Aran, with some added meaning about the war which was just starting at that time.
    The music for this song was written really quickly in one practise and was recorded at another practise session with one mic for everything.

    Lyrics
    INTRO
    A beautiful wasteland
    A majestic waste
    No life grows in this now forgotten place
    Scattered dreams of peace
    A forgotten life of joy
    An air of contentment
    Now replaced by a fog of war
    [oooooooooOOOOOH GO!!!]

    VERSE 1
    As I look across this moonlit bay
    As the calm waters lap against this shore
    The cold night air whips across my face
    And I think of the world no more [GO!]
    There are no flowers on these romantic hills
    Few birds in this clear blue sky
    Yet the beauty is outstanding
    Blue streaks reflected in my eyes [hold note......GO!]


    CHORUS
    Separated from the mainland
    And separated from the world
    This place is a haven
    Worthy of Gods, Kings and shelter from a war
    Could this be paradise
    Will it soon be lost
    With one final sin
    Could we be cased out

    VERSE 2
    Rolling hills of gold cover this space
    Dying grass spreads with amazing grace
    You said to me, “we will come back some day”
    But will these deep valleys still be here [GO!]
    A tender weapons dump
    Brings terror to the land
    I would wrap this place, in a bubble of fortune
    To protect it from the perils of the world

    BRIDGE
    As the gulls circle overhead
    As the deer wander the mountainside
    The sunlight penetrates the clouds
    Turning the grey to green
    Is this the same sun
    That shines on those in need
    Is the same beauty
    Paralleled in their lives

    VERSE 3
    Here the past is cut off
    The present is all that exists
    Stranding us in this place
    Closed in by the rocky shores
    A smile of desire
    Is spread across the sky
    Creating a distraction
    In the calm blue of her eyes
