Album : The silent cornet and the empty stageThe Lie (bernini's St Theresa) Genuflection / erection in church.Sacristy cloth / moth-eaten shroud.Secret silence / sacred secretsaccumulate dust, aggravate the eye.Incautious laughter after confession.Benediction ------- fictional fearHidden faces ... Grace is a name,like Chastity, like Lucifer, like mine.You took me through the window-stain,drowned in image, inscence, choir-refrainand slow ecstasy ------I'd embrace you if I only knew your name....The silent corner haunts my shadow prayers :ice-cold statue -- rapture divine, unconscious eyes, the open mouth, the wound of love, the Lie.You took me, gave me reasons forsaints and missals, vigils, all the moreholy martyrs -----I'd embrace you and walk through the one-way door...I'd embrace you, but it would be just another lie ----------

Greetings, friends here...I happened to make the cover, no joke. So if anyone has a question?Not that I can promise to answer them, but I can try at least, it all has so many layers, you know. . . and will be forever unforgotten.

This album and In Camera were Hammill's best, and most intense. Even now I can barely listen to them--they probe into the darkest depths.

I remember lending this album to a friend of mine who was a Nick Drake fan. I handed it to him and said 'this makes nick drake look like happy music'. The enxt time I saw him he handed me back the CD with a disturbed look on his face.

If one goes to the site: vandergraafgenerator(dot)co(dot)uk(slash)peter(dot)htm, there is an interesting article called "Four interviews with the enigmatic Peter Hammill" and in 'interview 4' there is his explanation about the meaning of this song!Anyway, thanks for this upload Crepuscule, this is probably my fave song of his third solo album!...
