Was die Progmetaller mit der Ausnahmesängerin Cammie Gilbert, da aufs Band gezaubert haben, beschreibt man am besten mit dem Begriff „soulig bis bluesig“. Ob es davon auf dem Album „Starlight And Ash“, ab dem 22. Juli, mehr gibt ist fraglich, zeigte die vorherige Single `Hearts Of Stone` doch ein ganz anderes Gesicht der Band.
Zum Track bzw. Video schickt die Frontfrau folgende Message:
“In true story-telling fashion, The Lighthouse evokes the frenzied emotions of the evangelical south’s dangerous religious leanings. Leading with an ominous gospel, The Lighthouse is a song as dark and atmospheric as the humid air that hangs heavy in our region.”

Lyrics:
Press your hands together bow your heads
Upon our knees is how we’ll make amends
Our prayers will part the clouds
Weathered by the sea and salty air
Our solitude will never get us there
This place must hold our faith
And when the storm swells come
It will put us to the test
Stone hands will cast away
the monsters in the mist
It will not let us down
It will not cast our hopes
Along the rocky shores
Of our greatest fears
Press your hands together bow your heads
Upon our knees is how we’ll make amends
Our prayers will light the night
The moon behind the clouds of nights embrace
Our beacon is the flame that cuts the haze
This hearth of stone and might
And when the storm swells come
It will put us to the test (it will put us to the test)
Stone hands will cast away the monsters in the mist
It will not let us down
It will not cast our hopes
Along the rocky shores
Of our greatest fears
It will not let us down (it will not let us down)
It will not cast our hopes (it will not cast our hopes)
along the rocky shores of our greatest fears
It will bring deliverance
Back into our hearts
Angel of voyagers
Can you hear our prayers
It will not let us down
It will not cast our hopes
Along the rocky shores
Of our greatest fears
