Conjure One (ft. Poe)
"Center Of The Sun"
Young girl in the market
Music to the men
When the men leave
Her eyes are red
When her eyes are closed again she sees the dark market of above
And she sings
'They say the most horrible things
But I hear violins, when I close my eyes
I am at the center of the sun
And I cannot be hurt
By anything this wicked world has done'
Young boy in the market
Follows all the men
When the men leave
He's out of his head
When his eyes are closed again he sees the dark market of above
And he sings
'They break the most beautiful things
But I hear violins, when I close my eyes
I am at the center of the sun
And I cannot be hurt
By anything this wicked world has done
I look into your eyes
And I am at the center of the sun
And I cannot be hurt
By anything this wicked world has done'
Center of the sun
Young boy in the market
Sees the girl alone
And asks her
'Have you lost your way home?'
She sings
'You say the most beautiful things, just like my violins'
I look into your eyes
I am at the center of the sun
And I cannot be hurt
By anything this wicked world has done
When I close my eyes
I am at the center of the sun
And I cannot be hurt
By anything this wicked world has done
'Cause
I hear violins
I hear violins
I hear violins
I hear violins
Center of the sun
I hear ...violins
I've been a fan of Poe's solo work since my very awesome English teacher first introduced me to her music when I was in tenth grade. I bought both of her albums and I've listened to them a lot since then. I had no idea, however, that she had done some vocals for Conjure One. This band was one that I discovered thanks to Pandora. Not only does Poe do some of the vocals, but the band's headlined by Rhys Fulber of Front Line Assembly, whose most recent album I wrote a review of just a couple of months ago. And Rhys Fulber also happens to do a side project called Delerium, whose album "Poem" I once bought totally on a whim. Oh, and an added bonus? Conjure One also happens to be from Vancouver, B.C., which is only about a three hour drive north of where I've lived my entire life.
Is it a small world, or what?
