So many superstitions
Bring us to the loss of faith
Endless premonition
Of something that we are afraid of, something we hate
Useless simulation
Of feelings that we haven’t got
So it has nothing to do with the things
The meaning of which we forgot
Tell me what’s on your mind
And I’ll do my best to take your fears away
To take ’em all away
Don’t look back at things that you have done
But mind you always have to pay
For all of your mistakes
Now remember there is
No easy way to get a place under the sun
All the weight you carry
Is printed on you face, so you can’t run
From your own reflection
‘Cause there’s no exit door
Choose the right direction
Otherwise you will be torn
Don’t look back into your past
Don’t try so hard ’cause you’re not the last
One who’s broken all the rules
And turned away from the wrong way
You’ve been misunderstood
And have not known what’s bad and what’s good
Now you’ve got your own view
So make a change
Get something new
And rearrange
All you knew
Tell what’s on your mind
And I will take all of your fears away
Don’t look back at things you’ve done
But know you always have to pay
Seems there’s nothing fair in life
All we have is disappointment and pain
I keep trying to realize
Why the world is so insane
Shepherds are playing strings of lies
And sheep are listening with the widely opened eyes
And this pointless symphony
Brings ‘em hope but not to me

The absolute pinnacle of modern British progressive rock. The loss of David Longdon is a huge blow, but this band has the talent to carry on. This album was my introduction to them and is so melodic and memorable to be so intricately arranged and performed. scarroll007

Absolutely hooked on this album from first listen. How rare is that with prog!??? Excellent songwriting and musicianship. Can’t wait to dive into the rest of the collection. Thomas Lock
The Long Island metal band's third album etches arena-sized hooks into their jagged compositions, deftly balancing experimental and poppy inclinations. Bandcamp Album of the Day May 12, 2022
