Alchemeon: Celestine

Celestine by Alchemeon, from Alchemeon Live In Session Winter 2008-09. * Celestine is a song of several parts. * Sometimes it seems to be in the key of B minor, other times G major. * In the end it resolves to D major. * Celestine is an Alchemeon exclusive, having not been performed by the Spacegoats, nor any of the Masters of Drone bands such as Now or Laughing Sun. CELESTINE Celestine they make their way Brothers to the water To cleanse the crystal in the head Still in silent laughter The drop into the forehead Silver people roam To lace the time With story rhyme And drink the river’s daughter Drink the river’s daughter Oh! La la la la… Pyramids inside the mind They walk the crystal line Or trade their scarlet dreams for talk All wisdoms from the grail Tower stands against the sky You people are not there Stone’s old voice speaks of an age The brothers hear and reel amazed The brothers hear and reel amazed Oh! La la la la... Wind through stone Your eyes and ears The time has come Wonder begun Wind through stone Your eyes and ears The time has come Wonder begun (They break their fast!) Now to be Now to be Now to be Now to be Now to be La la la la la… Words and music by Simon Miller. This arrangement by S. Miller/G. Davies/J. Peters/Iggy.
