lyrics

Not all that long ago
Between the streams of the whitewater
Was a small town down below
A place of 300 souls
Most of them worked underground
In the silvermine Juliane-Sophie
And yet others
Support themselves as lumberjacks

Common people
So satisfied
Living peaceful
In such a perfect world
The day will dawn when everything will change
The people were so unaware only memories will remain

Below the lowest water level
The spire and the old bridge
Come to light
From the lake in the mist of the valley
You may hear the bells chime

Every spring after the thaw
The water flooded all the valleys
Many people lost their alls
Life an hometowns were destroyed
Rainmakers came to present their best solution
That ment a radical chance
Their small town had to make way for a catchment lake

The day had come
And everything had changed
The people had to face the truth
Only memories will remain

Below the lowest water level
The spire and the old bridge
Come to light
From the lake in the mist of the valley
You may hear the bells chime

Do you remember the long forgotten
Tales of this lost place
The spire and the old bridge
Come to light
From the lake in the mist of the valley
You may hear the bells chime

Below the lowest water level
The spire and the old bridge
Come to light
From the lake in the mist of the valley
You may hear the bells chime

The Second Brightest Star
by Big Big Train

supported by 17 fans who also own “01 The Spire And The Old Bridge”

In the wake of buying the Welcome To The Planet I also went for this older "EP" (clocking in on 70 minutes a rather big big EP...) as a final farewell to a very bright bright star that sadly doesn't shine anymore. Carsten Pieper

Grand Tour
by Big Big Train

supported by 17 fans who also own “01 The Spire And The Old Bridge”

What can I say about Big Big Train that I haven’t said before? This album took a little while to grow on me but by the time I saw it live I was in love with its humongous, over-egged pomposity! They do it all with such passion, excitement and amazing musicianship. Essential. Crinklechips

Foreign Land
by The Far Meadow

supported by 17 fans who also own “01 The Spire And The Old Bridge”

Fantasy progressive rock is not something I'd ever thought of. Yet Foreign Land, especially the Foreign Land track itself, transported me straight into an unknown, magical fantasy world. Hakim Zulkufli
