I had the vinyl from '79. It had a folio or booklet with the lyrics and each song had a stone image from an old European church. Remarkable images. I also had a vinyl of them live in Poland. And I think I had them on a Ralph Records compilation.
The Slave
Once as the sun was setting A slave came to the gates Day dying
On its fiery tongue An Opal lay Of copper spun
Then did we dream? Or were our houses lambent gold In Winter's pool Did glory pass and hold us speechless in its spell?
Where he had fallen used and cast aside All he had touched Was trembling and alive
Each life is present in this way Each fashioned thing speaks of its change
