Lyrics:

As the rain dries 
on the windowpane 
you notice how everything
around you has changed 
hardly anything 
that reminds you of the past
 
Why stay when your name is already called?  
why cling when the wind is pulling you away? 
why wait when you've found another trace?

It was lovely under the tree 
but now the leaves have fallen and I move on 
I use my lens to find the trace
that leads me away from here into the valley 

Why stay when your name is already called ? 
why cling when the wind is pulling you away? 
why wait when you have found another trace?

Move on, move on 
you found another trace 

Why stay
why cling
why wait

A Trace To Keep Control

A Lens To Find The Trace

It's the story of a man and a woman separated by the imperial guard of an ancient Celtic kingdom because they didn't want to be enslaved. The man was murdered, the children abducted to be used as slaves, and the woman escaped and was left alone in a dark cave. The spirit of her dead husband remains close to her and he can see her from beyond the grave and is present as a spectre invisible to her eyes, but she feels his presence (he's the one who sings in the song), and he gives her the strength to survive and find their children to continue her life despite the difficulties. The woman has an unsuspected power, the ability to unleash chaos on anything that creates a feeling of deep sadness. But she doesn't master it well, and doesn't know that this power can also kill her. She finds her way back to the kingdom with great difficulty, passing through a great dark forest (‘In the dark I never surrender’ from the song's lyrics) and macabre marshes. And she manages to find the people who took her husband away from her, followed by ten thousands of soldiers.
So she unleashes chaos, demons come out of the darkness and destroy everything in their path, and a storm is unleashed (with the power chord rythms in the last chorus). In the midst of this chaos, she manages to find the children and tries to save herself, but a stone wall that breaks away because of the chaos collapses on her. Soon after, calm returns and the Imperial Guard and its 10,000 soldiers are defeated. The children (a boy and a girl in their teens) manage to get out from under the rubble, and mourn their mother who has disappeared under the rubble. They also realise that she has joined her husband for eternity. Shortly afterwards. The light reappears, giving way to the songs of nature, birds a breath of fresh air and flowers growing on the rubble, bearing witness to a dark past. Life goes on and the children cross paths with a lumberjack who takes them under his wing as their parents look on in the afterlife.

Baby Down

Ray and I improvised this song together, only not at the same time and not on the same continent. Go figure.

Steady

Dust devils dance
Across this barren land
No water no food
Just memories in my hand
Of your sweet face

The sun it beats
My strength retreats

Without you
I can't breathe true
Without you
Life fades from view
Without you
What can I do

Rattlesnake bites
The vultures circle high
My throat burns
Underneath a pitiless sky
The end it nears

Remember the rain
Remember the fire
Remember the pain
Remember desire
It's all the same

Without you
I can't breathe true
Without you
Life fades from view
Without you
What can I do

What can I do

Without you
I can't breathe true
Without you
Life fades from view
Without you
What can I do

Voices upon awakening

Without you
