I feel some pain inside my soul
Last night I had a dream
I saw no one to catch my fall
It makes me wanna scream
The things I saw are scaring me
And tearing my soul apart
What have we done, as far as I can see
The theatre’s playing the very last part
Program’s failed, it’s coming
No one hears the warnings
Suicide – is what we’ve got.. at last
So look into the past
If we could turn back the time
What could happen another way?
We’re standing before the last thin line
We have to make our desicion someday
All that we have is what we’ve done
They call it “progress” in their headlines
But something important is lost and gone
All that always helped us to be wise
We’re taking lives without regrets
And there are no bad dreams
So what are we doing with ourselves?
So-called “humanity”
Blood is the price for living
Can it be forgiven?
To lose the faith – is what we all deserve... at last
I look into the past
If we could turn back the time
What could happen another way?
We’re standing before the last thin line
And we must make our desicion today
War! Tell me what did you start it for?
Tell me, what did you wait for before?
Tell me why did you open that box
Of Pandora?
Pray! Do you see what you’ve brought here today?
Don’t you see – there’s another way
Can you feel the stink of decay?
You, morrah!
Don’t you see how the darkness eats you from inside?
Hate is the only thing you can create
When you try to control our fate
All we have is the world at the gates
Of never
Fear! I can see it now perfectly clear
That we are at the edge; so near
That we suddenly can disappear
Forever

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
