V1
The moon gleams dimly
Whispers thinly
A crescent smile
A siren’s wile
Ordained or wild?
The gambit of night
V2
The sun looms larger
A scolding father
His scornful light’s
A sparkling blight
and scalding blithe
O’ Where is the night?
V3
In the shade of trees
Pleading reverently
Questions posed
A quest betrothed
Through forests strewn
Cathedral tunes
A puzzled truth
to mend in the night
V4
To the edge you’ve wandered
Drawn by this hunger
Beauty, pain
Here one the same
Ransom or bane?
The gambit of night

A beautiful mix of rock and folk with thoughtful, story-like lyrics and beautiful harmonies... one of my favorite all time albums. So hard to pick between Curses and the Garden. anodyneavian
