Dance With the Devil

''The World Below''
My love whispers from her grave
The stories of below
And now the wolf is at my door
Blood and death his kin
Besieged by his sepulchral cadence
Descending to the world below'...'
Temptation found me
A wolf at my door
A thousand years roaming this forsaken earth
And the prophets foretold the call
And the wraiths stood aside
Ready to break my fall
Tower of burning memory
Now I'm tied and bound by hands and feet
The briars cutting deep
But he shows me infinity is ours for the taking
With his hermetic poetry
Time to go
Dancing with the devil
Let me in child, don't you know it's cold outside?
And the prophets foretold the call
And the wraiths stood aside
Ready to break my fall

Tiny Bard

|
Clutching my little red poetry book
Wond'ring where you've been
Soaked to the skin with burrs in your fur
Green eyes full of stories
Sit by the fire my Child
Tell me where you've been
Tiny Bard of bushy tail
With many a tale to tell
Regale me with adventures
Of legends old and new
Tangled in Rapunzel's tumbling ribbons of gold
Slay the wolf for Riding Hood
Knight of the Night as you prowl
Forge alliances with those who'd
Put milk in your bowl
'Nother log on the fire
Cuddle up and tell me more
And I promise, that I believe it all
My belief is you see
Let us not allow the truth to stand
In the way of a good story...

Celestial Dust
06:13
|
|||
|
Comets draw celestial lines
Tracing scars through space and time
To some great mystery we hope to find
Like treasure maps to lover's minds
And do they watch us move and dream?
Consequences never seen
A fatal twist a violent scene
'Neath a verdant canopy
The Goddess can be seen
Oh let me be
Oh please, let me heal
Or self destruct as once foreseen
Each act of pain replayed
Again, again, again
While you whisper in my ear
Don't be afraid
Now you come to be by my side
To show me great worlds that can never be mine
Beholding their wonder
Never to touch
Twinkling afar
Celestial dust

Little Ghost In The Room
04:44
|
|||
|
You came to me in a dream
Sent to my side
By a lady in white
Tiny child forgotten soul
Too scared to speak too lost to go
Mother, will you hear me now?
Bring down your rain
Oh it's cold but it shows you're there
I'm your little ghost in the room
I'm here though you'd never never know
Feel it
Feel it
Slip, slip, slip away
That's when you need it
Need it more than ever
Chaos reigns at home
The only place you should belong
And I know you, little girl
You know I do
'Cos I walked so many miles in your shoes

Toil And Trouble
03:01
|
|||
|
Toil and trouble
Wide-eyed wonder
Watching as it brews
And prophecy foretold
The tender threads of fate
Taste of bitter truth
Dance to their tune
Captive youth, unwanted child
Foolish pride
Never the bride
Toil and trouble
Familiar battlements
Blaze against a red night's sky
Lamented by the waning Worm Moon

The Red Room
03:58
|
|||
|
Step in to my room
As if the world outside was holding its breath as you sigh
As if cerulean pools were reflected deep in your eyes
Even if we don't set the world on fire
Maybe we can make this
A warmer place for you and I...
Round and round the room
'Til the colours all confuse you
Seduce you
Play a game with me
|
||||
7. |
||||
|
My lady, my Killer Queen of the sky
May I drop by
For tea for two
It's a rainy day and my pretty dress is
Soaked through
The scent of bluebells
The herald of their chiming
Summons forth the concubine

Spirit Of The Forest
04:28
|
|||
|
Remember the ancient cherry blossom tree
Viridian green
There's a place where the spirit is found
Where the maple bows to greet me
Is it you, is it you I can feel?
All around me
Weeping willows mourn you forever dear, in our secret cemetery
First born son
In to the gathering
Back where you belong
Blackthorny
What you done
Where you come from
It doesn't matter to me
Oh spirits, are all I see
Arise now, little one
Wear your crown of golden sun
As the fawn greets the new dawn
Sunlight shimmering...

Bête Noire
06:57
|
|||
|
You feel it too, don't you?
Nihilistic child of war
Lay at my feet
With bloody paws
Try to take a sympathetic outlook
Ignore every warning sign
Close your ears and eyes
You feel it too, don't you?
Nihilistic bête noire
Lay at my feet
With gaping maw
Try to take a sympathetic outlook
Ignore every warning sign
Close your ears and eyes
When they cry wolf
(Rest your head in my lap)
When they tell me no
When they tell me no
I just really
Really
Really want to go
Welcome you with open arms
Open arms
Warm little place
It's all we know
Send my love to you
When you need it most
It's always there
In the sweet night air...

Long Kiss Goodnight
03:58
|
|||
|
Put your words in my mouth with a long kiss goodnight
Let's rewrite our history
With the taste of bittersweet wine
That sly old Mister Moon
With his salacious gloom it's
Just a fantasy
But it's everything I hoped it might be
Oh this time
This time
Such a long kiss...
Silhouette projects a little death but you're coming
Back for more
Sleight of hand
Black nylon stands
As the last defence between me and the fall
The intent of sin
Succumb
Retreat
Give in
To you
How can I leave you now
Oh this time
This time
Such a long kiss
Kiss... Goodnight
Such a long kiss goodnight

Thieves Fools And Crows

Thieves fools and crows
Takes a special kind of love
To grace this stage of life
After every sharpened knife
Is digging a hole
Lost and found
Teardrop and a jewel in a fallen crown
It's still a long way down
But we'll go
Hand in hand
Curious children stray from the path
Never knowing they're lost til they lose the breadcrumb trail
Thieves fools and crows
Takes a special kind of love
To grace this stage of life
After every sharpened knife
Is digging a hole
Tried to change it but it keeps on happening
Keeps on, keeps on
Happening
Thought the best was yet to come
(But we have so many years)
Best was yet to come
(I should have listened to the crows)
Elusive mystery turned out to be
You played the thief
And I played the fool
(Over and over)
I should have listened to the crows

Midnight view
Raindrop constellation etched upon
The window pane
Contemplate
The shifting tides of night
Killing time
Endless conversations in rewind
Tempting fate
A missed embrace
Fireflies blaze ignites our midnight view
(Caught between the story and the storyteller
Caught me telling little stories)
Pulling me out
Pulling me under
To your stardust netherworld
Your midnight view
Ooh a moment's bliss
A waning moon under a sapphire sky
Crestfallen sweethearts and satellites
Watchful eye
Netherworld
Your midnight view
Midnight view
To your stardust netherworld
Your midnight view
(Caught between the story and the storyteller
Caught me telling little stories)

Marjana still retains the trappings of chamber prog, with wistful and plaintive vocals at the fore. But don’t be fooled, here is a woman with great strength and insight, who resides behind that faery-like, angelic voice. Jim Grey and Mick Moss add guest vocals to two tracks. The phenomenal multi-instrumentalist Charle Cawood brings the majority of exotic instruments, and there are guitars of all kinds, bass, keyboards, and programmed and organic drums, plus a string quartet.

APPARITIONS

On a whim after listening to AAE on a long car journey looked up what Jules is doing and found this. So many good tracks, good to have Raindrops from the old Keepsakes compilation, love Seance and Roses Round the Door, but Radium wins my vote. Knew about the watchdial girls from my medical school pathology course 40+ years ago, this just makes everything complete

A beautiful and haunting EP. I hope Marjana continues to produce material like this, in addition to her work in iamthemorning and the newly-formed Maer collaboration with Anna Murphy.
