about

Jan sees the possibility of salvation in ancient ways connected to the mysterious, magical uplands of his homeland.
He takes a moonlit trip to Wistman's Wood and Crockern Tor, in the hope of encountering supernatural guidance.
Soon he faces a life altering decision.

lyrics

i)The Ascent

ii) By Wistman's Moonlight

Jan :

I stand in darkness, alone, apart, detached from life
Seeking wisdom, open my eyes, deliver light
I'll pay the price

By Wistman's Moonlight
Let me live again tonight

Show me something more
There must be something more...

iii) The Meeting

The Devil (Old Crockern) :

"Finally you summon me to Hallowed, Ancient Dartmoor,
where time has little meaning
You know I've always been with you
Unlike those who have deceived you
I am here for you

Only I can give you wisdom, behold the Kingdoms of the World
Only I deliver splendour, wealth, respect and more
Sign the lease, a bargain struck for Five and Twenty Years
Freely though you must consent, in blood make your mark
By Wistman's Moonlight
Live again tonight

Do it now "

iv) The Decision

Jan :

An end in sight to years adrift with this alchemy
A worthless life transformed to no less than purest gold
Nature's Laws found wanting, reject conformity
Turn my back on their world, as they turned their backs on me

Fulfilment in the here and now, let ancient wisdom show me how

Realise my hopes and dreams at the stroke of a pen
Answer to myself alone for Five and Twenty Years

To sacrifice an Afterlife, their non existent paradise,
I'll pay that price

I dare do all that may become a man
Timid lives and laws, they don't apply to me

My name immortalised, a man apart, the world at my feet
This is my Act and Deed

I'm Free!!
