A beautiful poem set to music which helps to build on the picture that are words convey.
Story behind the song
Poem written by Kari Eskola, inspired by his surroundings in Finland one Autumn evening. I have tried to create the atmophere his words conveyed.
Lyrics
The Red Moon
The Red Moon drifts a face to the ground,
Trying to catch the wind with the dawn.
Inside the dark temple, a beam of light highlights the majestic altar,
The flowing water is lifted by the light,
And makes a bridge to delight the spirits,
to walk into the cold dark night.
The red moon gives way and uncovers a dark fraction,
"Are the shores empty or occupied"
Am I imagining all the sounds or just music,
Trees are flowing, making shadows on the wall,
The moon has built a scenery with its cold light,
It says to me
"Tell the story, Tell them the scenery, say what is happening"
The darkness carries the sky and all the planets,
Not even the clouds are helping,
The moon shines through the cracks,
The Red Moon, the Red Moon, The Red Moon.
