Perpetual lamps are classified as a wonder of antiquity
and it's no wonder, as we're about to see.
Tales are told of lamps sealed into crypts
where they glow, apparently, perpetually.
Undisturbed and unimagined as the centuries pass
till uncovered by accident or by chance.
The secret of these lamps has been kept from discovery
by ingenious mechanical means
by which the lamps destroy themselves
if an intruder approach to closely.
Descending into the opening which appeared in my field
after a flood, guess what I saw...
at the end of a narrow passage of stone
a statue of an armored bear
one massive paw above an ever-burning lamp.
When I stepped into this passage
a system of springs in the floor
caused the mechanical figure
to raise its mighty paw
and smash the lamp!

Only just learned of ‘Singin’ to God’ and have been listening to it on repeat - alternating with Tim Smith’s original - every day for the last week. What a beautiful tribute to him and so brilliantly executed. Hats off to all involved in this breathtaking recreation. A real achievement. thsmusic
