lyrics

it's not without sadness that i perceive
the spirits of those who have departed from me
promises made to meet once again
panaceas to dull the pain when it ends
does this event hold a meaning in time?
a fragment of love before its demise?
in the fire of time your friendships have burned
ashes remain of all you have learned

descending into this unholy ravine
i am musing upon the singular scene
of screaming demons and shrieking winds
i search for silence amidst the din
heavy and darkness gather at point of horizon
coldness and ice settle into our minds
and as immense planet rolls upon her wings
now daylight is ending and darkness begins

emerging from this chaotic scene
i sit amidst the forest trees
sinking deep into the soul and mind
the ancient words reveal their meaning this time

now you say that i can't know
of that which can't be seen
or of what we call greater realities
i have all things
the earth and sky
you have your own word only
how can you deny
when the sun is shining?

BBT are standard bearers for modern prog, with a sound that evokes the spirit of those legendary 70s bands whilst managing to also be thoroughly contemporary. It's astonishing that over 30 minutes of music of this quality, with such high production values, is being made available for free - and their full albums are also very reasonably priced...

When you like your prog to be more beautiful and/or accessible than prog-proggy, than this is for you! Melodic as hell and yes, Peter Falconer is quite a singer! That wouldn't go half the way without the solid songs of Pat Sanders. A great combination of skills ;-) Carsten Pieper
