In a manic disarray
The crowd had made its way
I looked upon with a frozen gaze
As they stormed about the place
There was nothing to say
Did you know that it would end...end this way
They threw her through the screen
And held her head up high
The blade had run through quick and clean
As night had filled the sky
And they took her away
Two pieces from one
I will make them all pay for what they have done

The Pyre at Violent Hill
05:52
|
|

We are the marchers, gathered in the square
Watching the pyre burn with empty stares
In every wisp of smoke is found the scent
Of the prophet girl, befouled by innocence
Howls and shrieks and ashes soaking in
The curses we shout from underneath our boiling skin
The torches fill the sky with sickened haze
The queen is dead and burned at Mortjeunelait
Hours have flown by since we forged our path
Cresting the peak of Violent Hill on sunset tracks
They held her body high on beds of hay
And the wooden pike that holds her pretty face
We are the marchers, gathered in the square
Watching the pyre burn with empty stares
In every wisp of smoke is found the scent
Of the prophet girl, befouled by innocence

Gently Shaken

Battered, my senses scattered
The light is fading though the sun is high
A silent spinning, and it lays me down
Awaken, gently shaken
A life still pulses through my veins
A scent that's brimming, as my heart soaks in
An act of kindness and her grace
Had pulled me out into her quiet place
And whispered a cure that had put me back on my feet
And I am safe
I'm begging to stay in her arms
So send me away on a simple task
As long as I come back and see you once again
Then I'll so anything

Our battle waits
We charge at dawn
March on to war
Make peace with God

The Battle
01:08

Fall back and lead them to attack
In the light of dawn, the battle rages on
Scores of men were hacked to shreds with mercy not in sight
The hero has gone mad with crimson eyes

Fall of Heroes
02:56

|

|
You led us past into our victories
We owe our courage and our strength to you
But I won't let this go much further
Put your weapons down and hold on
There was nothing left of this man
He had fallen into shadow
Without a soul to guide his body
I took his animate away

Find our graves
Mark this place

Heart of Darkness
by Rick Miller
supported by 9 fans who also own “A Soldier's Tale”
Ein so seltsames Album ist mir lange nicht mehr untergekommen. Der Track „Blood Of The Rose“ lässt den Hörer die Stirn in Falten ziehen. Eine zuckersüße, liebliche, kitschige Melodie dringt an das Ohr des Hörers. So säuselt der Song eine Weile vor sich hin, bis er plötzlich etwa bei Halbzeit (es handelt sich um einen 10minüter) komplett die Stimmung wechselt und plötzlich mit zupackender Gitarre und Sprech-Gesang in einen floydige Bluesrock-Hymne umschlägt... sehr kurios!

Steve Rothery band Live in Plovdiv
by Steve Rothery
supported by 8 fans who also own “A Soldier's Tale”
The first official outing of the "what would be" Steve Rothery Band. Riccardo Romano was missing with his keyboard wizardry and no singer at all (later Martin Jakubsky of Stillmarillion). Marillion's catalogue was represented by excerpts of instrumental sections where Steve had his solo spot. This is a milestone in the forming of a great band that later became the spokesman of early Marillion era and of course of Steve's solo material.
