Lyrics
Take me back through the days,
To time where we knew the gods of nature,
And the queen of elfame,
Would frequent mortals and cast them under her spells,
Her spells of love and death,
A trace of magick remains,
In the trees, voice upon the silver stream,
Kept in wood and in stone,
Heeded only by the worthy who walk (alone),
Raven bring me my memory,
Clouded by the amnesia of death,
Sorrows, loves I left behind,
Grant them return to this mind,
I am bound unto this land,
And to the waters where life and death are found,
With the ones beneath the sea,
Island rich in magick and mystery,
Where the tree of apple grows,
With the strength of the fallen king,
Who will once again reclaim his crown,
Yew tree show me all you've known,
Ages fade away - still you grow,
At your sight I recall,
Glimpses of what I knew from before,
Visions of Albion,
Visions of Albion,
Die and be born again to this land
And live the legends,
Guiding through new cycles,
Ever-tales of timeless love and woe,
Songs that you've heard before,
Will bleed into each life with water immortal,
Visions of ocean land,
See with dead eyes and witness through the old sight,
Bound to ocean land,
Child of Albion.

At the foundation of this project would be the preservation and exposure of traditional folk music, but presented through the modern medium of metal and rock....more

I absolutely LOVE Dark Matter and think it is one of PT's best early tracks that holds up to even their best work in the early 2000s, and this particular live performance is sublime! kilimajaro
Australian band Aquilus smashes genre boundaries to smithereens, combining classical orchestration with black metal on this riveting LP. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 13, 2021

Surprisingly good. As may be expected from 2 members of a Pink Floyd tribute band, "Rain" invites comparisons to PF's concept albums and Roger Waters' solo work. Recommended listening for anybody who was disappointed by Endless River! SantaR
