Dark River
KCM  29May09
dark river is the end of the road
the current is strong and the water is cold
many have drowned trying to reach the other shore
it’s too far to swim, but too close to ignore

well, dark river, is all that remains
dark river, take me home again

a man pays his way in dust and grime
washes it away with cheap red wine
fourty years on he comes to know
that he don’t wanna stay but he can no longer go

well, dark river, is all that remains
dark river, take me home again

some men work ‘til they hit the wall
they sweat and swear to the final call
some might think they have something more
but they all end up on dark river’s shore

well, dark river, is all that remains
dark river, take me home again

Into The Light - third part of the reworked cinematic musical suite based on my original theatrical Cirque style show: Regalia - The Enchanted Forest, which was initially performed at the Bali Safari and Marine Park in 2011. The new ethnic infused World music score has been crafted around sophisticated and powerful hybrid orchestral compositions by my friends at Anthology Records.

NEW 4K YouTube Video stories:
youtu.be/o4_tk75JBlo (Part 1)
youtu.be/rqqJ3v-RAOo (Part 2)

These two video clips depict the opening scenes of the story as a prelude / backstory. It tells the tale of our heroes (two Final War survivors in a post-apocalyptic surrounding) on their strenuous and dangerous voyage to a magical place - Regalia - The Enchanted Forest.

LYRICS:-
"Time is not for any of us
We make it up to know that we exist
Because time is not for anyone
It's just an illusion of your mind"

As i look up today and
See the sky
And i am
Mentally trying
To Blow the clouds away
Feel the sun on my skin
Feel the earth beneath my feet
Feel the heat
Just blowing the clouds away

When the rain it comes
It washes clean
It feeds the ground
Trees and plants and flowers
Are the blessings for us now

Healing Sun
Make us as one

The original Pyrrhic victory came courtesy of Pyrrhus of Epirus, a Greek king who was undone by his costly battles against the Romans. Pyrrhus first invaded Italy in 280 B.C. after allying himself with Tarentum, a Greek-speaking city that resented the Roman Republic’s increased domination over their homeland. He arrived with a force of some 25,000 men and 20 war elephants—the first the Roman legionaries had ever faced—and immediately scored a famous victory in his first battle at Heraclea. The following year, he bested the Romans a second time during a heated clash at Asculum.

Pyrrhus fancied himself a latter day Alexander the Great, and he’d hoped his invasion would give his empire a foothold in Italy. But while he’d routed the Romans at both Heraclea and Asculum, he had also lost more than 7,500 of his most elite fighters, including many officers. Pyrrhus had no way of replacing his casualties, and his failure to deal the enemy a deathblow sent morale plummeting within his ranks. According to the ancient historian Plutarch, the warrior king was quoted as muttering, “If we are victorious in one more battle with the Romans, we shall be utterly ruined.” Following a setback at the Battle of Beneventum in 275 B.C., he reluctantly called off his campaign and sailed back to Greece.

PYRRHIC VICTORY

Caviar and cigarettes
Dances in pirouettes

Are you feeling good
It seems you should
Now the smoke has cleared
Now that you are feared

Your triumph is great
Are you ready for your fate
Cause for elation
A grand celebration

Oh, it doesn’t feel right
Oh, this dishonorable plight 

Caviar and cigarettes
Dances in pirouettes
Glitter, riches, fame and glam
Black tie Russian roulette

You lick your wounds
All your lovers are gone
Alone in your palace
Your light has shone

All your friends in flight
All your allies are foes
It’s not an end
The start of your woes

Caviar and cigarettes
Dances in pirouettes
Glitter, riches, fame and glam
Black tie Russian roulette

Pyrrhic Victory

I started writing this song sitting in a field in wales on a camping trip
its a song about getting out and about in the summertime and looking for adventure as the title suggests its a group of memories and reflections on the way i see the world at the moment,maybe the restrictions on life we have had to face has woken something up in some of us and there is a need and desire to get back out there again
written and produced by Jim manser june 2021

Reflections

Ah,the times were good
We had a ball
We didn't make much money
Sometimes none at all

We played our songs
Believed the part
All that we played and sang
Came from the heart

Remember when the fire burned bright
Playing those songs every night

Ah time moves fast
But we move slow
Nothing ever lasts
We weren't to know

Burned out and faded
The passion gone
Going through the motions
For every well known song

Remember when the fire burned bright
Playing those songs every night

Remember when the fire burned bright
Playing those songs every night
