lyrics

When the promised fire falls
on our heads and on everything we know
it shall be made plain, the worth of it all
burned to ashes or refined to gold

When my life is repossessed
and the truth shines her light into the hold
all I have done, cursed and blessed
will burn to ashes or be refined to gold

And if I don’t love you life is worthless
nothing will remain of it
When my time is over what will I show for it
I cannot escape from this

I know well the force of myself
and the selfish will be turned out in the cold
all I have been for anyone else
will burn to ashes or be refined to gold

You may have, or have nothing at all
but in the end all the homeless will come home
and where your heart is, what you've loved above all will burn to ashes or be refined to gold

on that day, sudden and great,
this whole world, worn and tired, torn and old
will be set alight, a new kingdom made
on top of the ashes from the finest gold

"Quite apart from that this album is extraordinary on its own merits there are few artists willing to expose their talents to such a sparse instrumental background, and you need to listen to it and discover its beauty for yourself."
- Tim Martin, FATEA Magazine
