'Shrouded Path' is the most rhythmically adventurous track on 'Exquisite Music for Discerning Adults'. It features intricate double-time drumming. The rhythmic qualities contrast the dream-like lyrics.
lyrics
Shrouded Path (Lipscombe)
Out in the woods, little creatures,
Wander on a lonely path at night,
Pitch black amongst trees and bushes,
By torchlight they scurry out of sight.
Upon the pathway,
The night's protective shell,
Forever here with you,
Under your spell.
The lashing branches,
Shall always let us pass,
Beside the Roman road,
On a shrouded path.
All alone on the pathway,
Darkness before and behind,
This Roman road's long forgotten,
Shrouded in the dark of the night.
Slip down the pathway,
That you know oh so well,
Stop by the brook and wait,
For time shall tell.
Go down the pathway,
That you know oh so well,
You'll never walk alone,
They're with you still.
Upon the pathway,
The night's protective shell,
Forever here with you,
Under your spell.
The lashing branches,
Shall always let us pass,
Beside the Roman road,
On a shrouded path.
The creatures and I share a purpose,
Running headlong from horrors behind,
No one can see us on the path now,
Hunter and hunted, both are blind.
