. Miracles Beginning – sun rises and floods the land. there is always renewal .
lyrics
. the dream is of a day belonging, of being solitary, yet more - with many, yet alone - still strong, and yet - still loving ..loving the more . there is Sun on the land then, there are miracles beginning ... there is learning at hand then ... there is knowing, there is giving . there is giving : moments living like the morning, to be renewed time & again - broken symmetries adorning - grieving movements all : all as praise . there is Sun on the land then, there are miracle beginning ...there is learning at hand then, there is knowing - there is giving . though the iron cold of others, their nailing rain claiming your name ... though their murder-will rule over you, you will live by your truest name ...

It's hard to imagine a more magical collaboration than the dreamlike, ominous fantasy instrumentation of Alan Trench and the silken, sweetly agonizing vocals of Martyn Bates. The most beautiful, gently haunting moods are to be found throughout this album. Lauren
