Through The Sands Of Time
Fortune shining through
Fortress of our youth
Only you know now
What is true now
Portraits long entombed
Portend all that’s doomed
All that you know now
You must prove now
Chorus:
Fly high
Burn it all, embrace the sun
Breathe life through the skies, no turning back
Fly high
Lose it all, and turn to stone
Breathe life through the sands of time
Far away enough to learn
My life was never really mine
My fears would cloud the sunset hours
Where the feathers touched the skies
What is true now
What I choose now
(Chorus )

Falling Away
The feeling’s deep inside
As waters break the tide
And fade into view
A promise that I have to forget
I’m falling away
Falling away
A sun that burns the scars
Leaves no one left unharmed
Its light shrines the truth
Is time the only way to be healed?
I’m falling away
Falling away
Chorus:
Into a black hole made of stars
And all I see while fading is
galaxies collapse into demise
I will give into the eternal night
‘Cause nothing lasts forever, son,
Not even the sun that blinds your eyes
There’s nothingness in sight
As time reclaims all life
And death will exude
Is that the truth the light would reveal?
I’m falling away
Falling away
The sun that burned the scars
Implodes into its heart
And waves to the moon
Is death the only way to be freed?
I’m falling away
Falling away
Everything falls
Time will always make the call
and pull us under
Everything falls
Gravity will take its toll
and pull us to our grave
Into a black hole
(Chorus)
Into a black hole made of stars
And all I see while fading is
galaxies collapse into demise
I will give into the eternal night
‘Cause nothing lasts forever, son,
Have you ever really wondered why?

Count Your Losses

Count Your Losses
No more words, my sire
No more of your lies
The king of deceit
All the tones of silence
Are your best allies
They’ll keep you at ease
No more lies
If we could only
hear no lies
Chorus:
Count your losses
Take their ashes to the grave
You never left your pride aside No action will be forgiven
Fake devotion
Drove the motions ‘til the end
We didn't leave a word confined
Our story can’t be unwritten
All that’s dutiful
Breaks inside of you
All that’s doable
Is excusable
All that’s beautiful
Rots inside of you
All that’s scrutable
is excusable
[Chorus]
You’ve lost yourself again
Now you’re running on
the streets of loss and shame
You were getting closer
to the great escape
But you’ll never heal
if the pain you wreak
has brought you down
You’ll see yourself again
when you’re all alone
The streets of emptiness
will always be your home
And all the hearts betrayed
won’t let you be at peace
with reality right here and now
Don’t forget
all that matters
lies within
Count your losses
Take their ashes to the grave
You never left your pride aside No action will be unwritten
Fake devotion
Drove the motions ‘til the end
We didn't leave a word confined
Your story won’t be forgiven

Adoration
We crawl on our knees
for wrongful answers
Kept on our leash
Controlled
Condemnation
We followed your lead
But the end times
The end times await
The end times, the end times
They wait, they wait, they wait
for you and me
Chorus:
We could have had it all, it all
But we sold our good fate
and imposed their ill grace
When they burn us all
Say, “They chose the best way
Come behold our best days”
I was misguided by your pain
I don’t need redemption
I don’t need your grace
No one could save me from their reign
I don’t need ascension
Nor your condescension
I won’t be guided by your pain
I don’t seek redemption
I don’t seek your grace
No one will save me from their reign
I don’t need ascension
I will meet my fate
Domination
With blood on our knees
To keep them happy
We pull our own leash
But the end times
The end times await
The end times, the end times
They wait, they wait, they wait
for you and me
(Chorus)

Paradigm
Frozen and stowed away
Here we’ll stay
Heading to get somewhere
we’ve never been
Reaching again
out into nothingness
Chorus:
It feels like
I’ve lost my mind
There’s nothing left
It’s all a mess
Lost in this paradigm
With no way out
My screams won’t make a sound
Lost in the haze of my mind
Left it behind
Searching for something new that
we feel we can find
It’s all been designed
If we could just get there
Frozen, darkness my only friend
Nothingness surrounds me without an end
And I feel like I can make this home
It slowly becomes my paradise
Paradise
It feels like
I’ve lost my mind
There’s nothing left
It’s all a mess
Lost in this paradigm
With no way out
Until I kill this doubt

Once More
Nothing’s really written for tomorrow
All those years we spent immersed in sorrow
We threw ‘em away
We threw ‘em away
You know it’s true
When you free the piece that left you hollow
Passages will open to brand-new worlds
They’re showing the way
They’re showing the way
They’re gleaming through
‘Cause we never really had a chance
to escape from ourselves
All the terrors in our lives would advance
to all sights, day and night
I wander on my feet but all alone now
Nothing can remind me (of) how it went so wrong
I’m throwing away
I’m throwing away
our story, too
‘Cause I never really had a glance
of who I was beneath the scars
Covered in the corners of the darkest den
The night awaits beyond the gates
Chorus:
I wonder if I can
I wonder if I have a reason
to reach for the stars
I wonder if I can
I wonder if I need a reason
But I’ll try once more
Nothing’s really written for tomorrow
Prophecies unveil what is to follow
We’re holding the pen
We’re holding the pen
It’s time we drew
‘Cause we never really had a chance
to escape from ourselves
All the terrors in our lives would advance
to all sights, day and night
‘Cause I never really had a glance
of who I was beneath the scars
Covered in the corners of the darkest den
The night awaits
True life awaits
Beyond the gates
(Chorus)

Mothallah
Follow me
far away from here
from fear
I’ll never leave
I’ll never disappear
Believe
in me
Come with me
far away from here
from fear
I’ll never leave
never disappear
Believe
In the times
where our courage hides
and cries
We will fight
until the rays of light
stand high
Chorus:
We’ll fight through
the darkest night
Mothallah
will be our only guide
We’ll sing this lullaby
to the skies
as our final cry
We’ll find our morning star
deep inside
buried in our spine
These words are
all we need
to be free
Follow me
In the times
where our courage hides
and cries
We will fight
until the rays of light
stand high
We'll fight the darkest night
We'll sing this lullaby
We'll be the morning star
We'll bless our battle scars
Set us free
(Chorus)
Follow me down

Let The Truth Speak
by Earthside
supported by 72 fans who also own “Terror Management Theory”
Masterful production - deep, slow enough and a feast for your headphones. Inspiring arrangements and soul-searching vocal performances from a vast array of styles and voices. It's a mega-album, a world of its own. Up there with all the greats of the symph-prog genre. I just can't have enough of it. I like the balance between drama and calmness - always keeps you on your toes, gasping for more peaks and highs. Bordering on perfection - almost the best thing ever done in the progressive world.

It All Began With Loneliness
by The Anchoret

One of my favorite Progressive albums of the year by far. It has the appropiate mix of mistery, complexity and surprise I expect of this kind of albums. With some gospel, saxo and flute passages giving a theatrical touch. Fantastic.
