LYRICS:
Travel the days of freedom
Roads leading everywhere
Come with me now, and show how you care
Follow the dying embers
Cross on the paths they lay
Breath of the past, the earth's yesterday
Clear your mind, maybe you will find
That the past is still turning
Circles sway, echo yesterday
Ashes burning, ashes burning
Colours are fading starlight
Silver the way to find
Walking the shadows, there in our mind
Changing the order slowly
Leaving the mist of time
Fingers are holding, fragments of mine
Clear your mind, maybe you will find
That the past is still turning
Circles sway, echo yesterday
Ashes burning, ashes burning
La, la, la , etc ....
[music, music, music]
Imagine the burning embers
They glow below and above
Your sins you won't remember
And all you'll find there is love
Ashes are burning brightly
The smoke can be seen from afar
So now you're seeing how far
Ashes are burning the way
Ashes are burning the WWAAAYYYY!!!!
Wooohh, woooahhh, ... [Annie wails ... ]

I’m not the biggest prog rock fan, but I’ve listened to everything of Renaissance I could find. Annie Haslam is a beautiful woman with a beautiful voice and beautiful spirit. And this band is aces.

The most underrated progressive band to ever take the stage. Annies voice was that of a true angel. I was fortunate to see them live 3 times once in a college gymnasium after performing with Procol Harum with a full orchestra the night before even without the orchestra they were amazing there was maybe 500 people there in the gym. I was 15

Saw Renaisance in an overcrowded hall in Asbury Park (which had been a bus garage!) in March 1974 - right around the time of this recording. Guess who opened for them? An unknown NYC band who had just released their first album - KIss! Smoke machines, Gene spitting fire, and all. Next up, Renaissance, and they did this song. Fantastic meemories.

not the most underrated progressive band, is the most underrated band on any kind of ranking in the music history.

@Scottlp2 Good point. I'm 90 miles North of Philly, and Renaissance was popular in this part of the U.S. Saw them at Lafayette College back in '79 and the show was stellar!

@Dave Slack Annie doing Ripples is pure bliss.
