Pre-order links here: THEODORA IN GREEN AND GOLD Music by Nick D’Virgilio and David Longdon Words by Greg Spawton Shivers of glass Shards of stone Hiding faded designs Neath the surface Reflections of light Keepers of souls Here set in glass And in gold All these moments of life Brought together Splinters of light Colours of time Shaded with meaning Here she stands Theodora in green and gold A chalice in her hands Reflecting the light that falls On distant fabled lands With the last of the Romans Facing her across the aisle Re-makers of empire Builders of wonders Lost in time Made in candlelight By hand alone Here she stands Theodora in green and gold A chalice in her hands Reflecting the light that falls On distant fabled lands With the last of the Romans Facing her across the aisle Re-makers of empire Builders of wonders Lost in time Fragments are pieced together Tilted to catch the light The lines and the colours Shape and form The words of the artist Here they stand Together for all time Set in glass and stone Reflecting the light that falls On distant fabled lands The last of the Romans Laying claim to common ground The north and the south The east and the west A golden thread in time
