Story behind the song
Dhuni Tzadok - Guitar & Effects. Ed Bingham - Violin. Mark Bayerle - Guitar & Effects. Mike Chizzo - 4-String Fretless Bass Guitar w/EBow. Bob Holzner - Drums and Percussion. Sorry about the drop-outs. This version came from a very old cheap cassette tape. The original cassette tape is presently misplaced (I hope). We never got to lay down the vocal tracks either, oh well.
Lyrics
Crystals of Sargasso Bob Holzner - 11-26-93 Revised – 6-9-95 2-25-07 Lost in the Sargasso, Sailing in strange lands. Seagulls circle idly, Ghost leave their sunken lair. Land forms on the horizon, A hidden cave our fate, The wind and the voices draw us closer. Closer… Closer… An aura reveals our destiny, The earth opens her mouth, Swallowing us deep inside her, crystal walls are paved with light. Closer… Closer… The crystals whisper in the voices of those that passed before, They draw us ever deeper, yet each step is more unsure. The crystals wail a warning, we flee in sudden fear, Stealing the magic crystals from their entrusted lair. Locked in a box our treasure lies Crying for release Crying for forgiveness Closer… Closer… Our hidden lies awaken. Please God push them aside, Don’t let our own evil eat us from inside. Our ship now set to sail, we flee this cursed sea, The crystals stowed away, this our sin to pay. Locked in a box our treasure lies Crying for release Crying for forgiveness Crying to be free Its many voices scream in harmony Closer… Closer… A storm, we crash, our ship descends… The crystal now free, reclaimed by the sea
