In the beginning The break of dawn The clouds are falling Waiting for the moment O’er the first days of bloody red The price of greed, mother said Her pale green eyes gleaming Dry summer days; the wish of the rain There was a night of balance A falling angel came to me Painted with wine, troubador A mass cried out in silent speech A chance with which thee with I kiss Oh nightingale of nitrous Through East came bright a rising mist Sunrise with night; the wish of the rain Three times the cloud was lost alone Two times all was lost One day, we stand before the one who conspired, asleep in the fire North are the days you fly in the field South are the years you gave to the ground East of a storm you ran from disdain West over the gate of the golden sea! Wind of the desert Turning me ‘round in thy wake The cloud is still lost The stars are all gone The breath of the apple breathes on and on...

There is a dragon that walks in the ocean of words Disguised in dreams Speaking the language that only you hear All seeing, the eye Here upon you I peer It is said, in his hands are the symbol of life And the sign of death Some have seen through the fire of green There upon his head he wears nine golden crowns His eyes behold dimensions between With power he plays many strings out of key With his wings spread bright Dance in the warmth of the night

In the sun, the sky burns as bright As the sun in your smile I’m beginning to think you’d be right Stay with me for a while I think a thousand lifetimes will do Maybe just for a start I am caught in the breeze that is you Tell me one thing believing can't do You were the desert breeze You dried my tears You brought warmth to my freeze Sweet hot breath in my ear Now I wait every night For your tease to begin And I know in the innocent July We live forever High in the sky In this soft, lonely world We are just around the corner From the end Through the open window Movements on piano return I am say...

Dancin' Blue 04:39
I wasted time dancin’ blue She ain‘t mine, only you Playin’ some hand Payin‘ some due She ain’t mine, only you We can pretend the sky ain’t blue She ain’t mine, only you Pain me then chain me, fool She ain’t mine, only you You can say I found a way Get done holding on yesterday The rain washes the pain You are music I hear again I wasted time dancin’ blue She ain‘t mine, only you Play me and pay some due She ain’t mine, only you

The Spider 06:32
There's a ghost here with us Sinking away tonight There's a ghost here with us Slipping away tonight Wheel of the widow Holding, hiding, here Diamond eyes hypnotize Crawl and disappear Slowly the spider closing in way too deep Into a cornucopia, hands and feet It's only a dream, where I'm wandering She won’t return me There were days when the sun filled the sky There were days the clouds were castles on a hill There were days, the song, the way Slowly finding sleep ‘neath the sea There were times that we tried Times when we try Make believe and run away... Make believe the world's not there and it's gone I can see beyond the web to the sun It's only a dream, where I'm wandering She won’t return me

Is a day since we last felt terrain? Is an hour lost in time drinking wine? ... I will not tell you any more Every one of us is free Where is the road you wanna go? Where is your ship? High on the sea Is a year long gone now? Why believe anything? Freezing, then fires and we fall Secret sight We see safely the eye of the sun! The Broken Cloud was free A ghost return to be Far away, above the shining sea The sun looked down from space And I saw my brother's face In a blue cloudless sky

about

The Broken Cloud is a true psychedelic experience.

This progressive-rock epic takes cues from bands such as 'Yes', 'King Crimson', and 'Pink Floyd'. It grips you with music from both near and far, old and new, and from somewhere all-together different. From it's opening brigade of guitars, Hammond organ, and choral vocals, to its strange--even terrifying--marriages of Psychedelic Rock, Dark Ambience, Electronic Dance Music, Bluegrass, and Robert Johnson-esq Blues... You'll never be sure what's coming next! ...and when the end is finally at hand you'll be lifted up into a thematic emotional high that you won't soon forget.

This unique album tells a deep, interesting musical tale from a time yet to come, where objective experience is augmented with illusory memories supplanted into our thoughts by an almighty super-intelligence peering into our dimension of existence from a strange realm beyond... Only by recognizing one's connection to this great mystery does one realize that the greatest mystery of all is that we are living a future that has already happened.
