The song that I associate with the "The Lost Girls" is called "Ashes Are Burning" by a rock band
called Renaissance. In "The Lost Girls" everyone soon realises that the past is far from dead, and that old technology still
has the power to burn. The line "Your sins you won't remember" also brings to mind the period of compression that Soo-Kai
approaches and that Kai-Tai has already entered.

The song was published a number of times, once on an album of the same name, and also most notably
in 1976 on the album "Renaissance Live At Carnegie Hall". You can pick up CD versions of both these albums. The "Live"
album from HTD Records (HTD CD 40A).

For your delectation the lyrics of "Ashes Are Burning" are shown below.
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 that they lay
Breath of
the past the earths
yesterday
Chorus:
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 your mind
Changing the order
slowly
Leaving the mist of time
Fingers are
holding fragments of mine
Chorus
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
way
