Volume 6 of his continuing series of lyrics anthologies, this superb collection details the closure of a marriage, and its consequences for those caught in its wake, in harrowing, emotive, no-holds-barred detail.
In addition, 3 related songs from the Malice Thru' The Looking Glass anthology are added, to detail further reflections from a distance.
Included among the gems are the epic 'De Profundis II' - a 36-minute song in performance; the beautiful but bittersweet 'For My Child'; and the harrowing 'The Angels Weep'.
Emotive, though-provoking, heart-rending, and occasionally, unsettling, this anthology showcases a master of the songwriting and prose-poem formats at his raw-nerve peak.
The Angels Weep You hear that wind?Carryin' the screams of pain and fear
The clocks have stopped
A sure sign that the ends of time are near
They're makin' graveyards out of every playground
Holdin' victory parades every time a child goes down
You turn away
But you can't escape the sights you've seen
You wish you'd stayed
Somewhere you could wash your memories clean
You carried a torch and you carried a cross
Both let you down and left your soul to pay the cost
The angels weep
But they don't shed a tear for you...
