about

The chromatic outlines in this song were influenced by the melody Dizzy Gillespie composed for " Night In Tunisia ". The intro is a classic 1950's Dom 7th chord buildup, and listen closely to the solo for a Ritchie Blackmore guitar quote from " Highway Star ".

lyrics

There's a mad man, a flickering light, a lamp in the shade of the dead of the night
I see a rose on a bush, implicitly torn, by the weight of it's color and the tip of it's thorn
Wind, blowing dust in the air, ashes of dreams, cries of despair
The Queen of the mist in her billowing gown can foster the hope that was cast onto ground

Pieces of eight, convoluted units of ten

In the twilight, at that moment in time, when the sun and the moon are both in the sky..... there is a place you can see, out very far, surrounded by heavens of shimmering stars
Gone! Nowhere to be found, by the richest of kings or the poverty bound
Destroyer of soul, chasing illusion, silently waiting, patiently brooding

Pieces of eight, convoluted units of ten

Caught! In a desolate storm, bring me to ruins or return me to home
Only the blind can see in the dark but who would willingly turn their eyes into death?
Born into life, naked and small, helpless and weak, drowning in fear...
Soothingly calm, lovingly bliss... shadowy peace, falling asleep

Pieces of eight, convoluted units of ten
