And as I walked through the garden of love.   I passed the gates of paradise and the gates   of perdition. Maybe the saddest experience   of all is that even the most wonderful and   precious moments don't last forever and   appear like a dream that faded much too   soon when looking back.      But both darkness and light are given to us   to make us prospect and grow: like every living   being needs the interplay of daylight's sweet   kiss and night's gentle embrace. And as   darkness falls while I'm drifting away on   the river of sadness, the remembrance of love's   golden sunlight is my only supply of logs for   the cold and lonely winter of the soul.      This album is a tribute to a love that was so   beautiful as long as it lasted and so bitter   when it ended: hence both love's heavenly   bliss as well as bereavement's abysmal   despair are to be found amongst these 10   songs; songs that are like sears to me now...      But still the dream remains, and yet my love   has not withered nor have my songs faded   away: Though Moonshadow died in the devastation   of declining Planet Kyrah. Sid survived -   but for how much longer?      Goodnight - and may the Goddess bless you all!      SID      "When I'm dead, my Dearest,   sing no sad songs for me,   plant thou no roses at my head,   nor shady cypress tree:   Be the green grass above me   with showers and dewdrops wet;   and if thou wilt, remember,   and if thou wilt, forget."      [Christina Rosetti (1830-1894)]
