This instrumental was originally released February 2014, as "Canopy of Night"on my album "Time Enough". It was well received and included lyrics that I was hopeful someone would embrace. That happened,,,Eagle, Arend , approached me with a desire to give this a try and here is the resulting composition. I hope you will love and enjoy what he has created as much as I do!
Jon is from the US and Arend, from Denmark.
lyrics
Verse
Under the canopy
The canopy of night,,,
It is the hiding place,
From fearing and of flight.
To seek it aimlessly,
No one can ever tell
Of stories chilling cold
Of heavens or of hell..
Rescue my soul away,
I pray of soldier brave.
Or I will find my body
Lying in it’s grave.
So many come before,
The path that I have tread.
I see their spirits flying,
Near and overhead.
Is there no hope for me
That I may not befall?
The tragic ending,
Of the fear, before the fall?
Chorus
Oh canopy of night,
Oh canopy so cold
Once I was simply young,
And now have grown so old?
Is there no hope for me
That I may not befall?
The tragic ending,
Of the fear, before the fall?
Oh canopy of night,
Oh canopy so high,
The fear from dwelling Neath
The end is drawing neigh
