Breaking Even
05:46

Too much time, too many days
Lost in the haze, I was saying that yesterday
The future’s so far away
But still in my mind there’s something that's closing in
It came too quick, it came in fast
Kicked in the ass when your trying to break free from your past
There’s still so much I lack
Running out of time, I just wanna break even now
There’s so much I can take
Before I run right off the plate
If I cross the line, you can guess who's to blame
I know, ‘till my last breath
I will work myself to death
Trying to break even on the dumbest bet
Lost in a world that’s all your own
With no place you can call home
Still you search for a new soul
People judge and criticize
They only see through their own eyes
Forcing you a new disguise
Drive you mad until your insane
Something in the brain though others can’t get through the pain
Some say it's all the same
But still in my mind I haven’t quite made that clear

Confessor

East of the boundary
Lies a home of many folk
Each to do his duty
Follow orders and do as told
For here our ruler
Like no other in the land
Shall reign not by steel
But the touch of her hand
An old ancient power
That lies in each heir
Shall lead us to victory
And leave all opposed left in fear
Bring forth the prisoner
Let him say what he has to say
By the time we are done here
We will know the truth anyway
For there lies a punishment that
Few have ever seen
You’ll obey her command
And bow before your queen
With a simple touch
You’ll give up what remains
To slave yourself and your mind
For the rest of your days
“I love you so
You are everything I know
My life is yours, my soul in your hands
I will be what you want me to be
I am your slave, mistress, my queen
In your hands I’m just a pawn!”
Mother of the midlands
Looking out with a careful eye
An old world is rising
Where the shadows fly
Ahead lies a foe
Like none faced before
The land of D’Hara
Is hungry for war
There your true test waits you
Confessor of Midlands
Will you claim another victory?
Or be slain by the enemies hand?

Rainy Day Submission
05:02

|
Have you ever thought about us?
Have you ever thought of what could have been?
Do you end up praying for us?
Have I come to mind at least now and then?
‘Cause I don’t know
I can’t tell
If it’s forgotten
One try
Of wasted time
Since parted
I was treading the line
To make up mind
Now here we are
Can you see the storm clouds rising?
Can you feel the lightning crack through the air?
Can you hear the thunder pounding?
Does the look in my eyes make you scared?
Wasted heart
Wasted love
Is the outcome
The good you’ve done
It’s gone away
Since the new front
Heed the words I say
Or regret it ‘till the day
That you die
Can you hear them now? The words I said that day?
When nothing else mattered to you, and vengeance was your way
I’m not sticking close to see how you are
Independent prototype, let’s all see how far
I’ve wasted my time
Now rid me of this crime
Now

Eternal Home of Eden
07:44
|

|
Wake up
Look outside
Through the stained glass
Of my window
You wake up
Beside me
The books are
All disheveled
There’s a young man
Wandering around
In my garden
He’s staring at me
With a stone cold face
Guilt is proven
There’s a black rose
Floating in the wind
Grabs his attention
It’s time to act
Don’t hold back
No hesitation
“Pick up, the books
I’m going, outside”
Trespass, in my land
Eye for, an eye
Hatchet comes down in violent pace
With all the blood to bear
No detective can trace
The fingerprints of air
Don’t disturb what’s left of mine
This garden makes me whole
The only way to spend my time
As an old forgotten soul

Summer Sweethearts
05:25

She walks around with careless grace
A violin in her hand
She plays all morning through summer days
No one quite understands
Her boyfriend comes at two o'clock
In his car are some of his friends
He says “You coming with us babe?”
She sighs, hops in the back
It didn’t really matter then, but how it matters now
“Where are you going baby?
What have I done to piss you this time?
What are you talking about honey?
You know I had it all and then I left it behind
What are you doing darling?
What makes it wrong, what makes it right?
What should you do now baby?
You have it all now leave it behind”
Her father doesn’t like it when
She’s out too late at night
Especially with a man like that
Lord knows what’s on his mind
She plays her violin at night
To calm herself for sleep
She then hears a knock at the door
It makes her stomach weak

The Little Man

Little is the man, larger is the plan, now he’s on his own
Gonna get the heat, quicker on his feet, doesn’t like the cold
Got something in mind, does it all the time, but he’s on his own
Getting what he wants, checking in the clock, then he’s going home
Won’t you leave him alone?
Won’t you leave him alone?
Come on, leave him alone
Won’t you leave him alone?
Little doesn’t talk , Little goes for walks, Little all alone
Little needs a friend, someone ‘till the end, someone he can hold
Always does his share, still nobody cares, ‘cause he’s on his own
Likes to look around, lives in same old town, there’s nowhere else to go
Little speaks his mind, then gets criticized, Little outta hope
Doesn’t feel its right, happens day and night, where’s he gotta go?
Little wants a change, no one knows his name, got nothing to show
Little had a team, they thought he was mean, so now he’s on his own

Tiger Striped Lily

A tiger striped lily I found
On my way from walking in from the town
I gave it to you and it made you laugh
You said “What in God’s name is that?”
Though I couldn’t reply
I had to decide
That maybe later we could get down?
Do you wanna get down?
Baby let’s get down
Do you wanna get down, down?
A tiger striped lily for you
‘Cause I knew that you wanted me too
You said that we should go for a swim
I was hesitant ‘cause the light was dim
Though I had to give in
And go on a whim
‘Cause maybe later we could get down
Do you wanna get down?
Baby let’s get down
Do you wanna get down, down?
Icy cold adrenaline jumps me forward, feeling blood flow through my veins
You pull me underwater as I gasp for air inside this lustful cave
My senses are enhanced once I can tell you’ve moved the blockade in your mind
And with a special hint of body language, you suggest to move inside
Move inside
Move inside
Come to me
Let the warmth set you free
I’ll hold you close and say I’ll never let go
One should heed the call
It’d all be over by the fall
I’m not here to ruin more friendships
You and I were never close enough to call it that, to hell with it!
A tiger striped lily I found
On my way from walking in from the town
I gave it to you and it made you cry
You said “I want it tonight!”
And I had no reply
I couldn’t decide
Between the right thing and that look in your eye
But it’s ‘bout time I headed out
Show me the way out
Show me the way out
Baby let’s get down, down
Love’s a fickle thing
With all the problems it brings
You had me at first sight
I’m sorry tonight’s not the night

In the Life of a Dream
08:15
|

I woke up this morning feeling worse than I know that I should
Anxiety had seiged me from a world that I never understood
She died in my arms as I looked around to see that no one cared
My mind was playing tricks on me to see if my attachments lied elsewhere
But I’m okay
I play the part
I’ve been waiting
From the start
When she kissed me
I didn’t feel a thing
Conscious fading
In the life of a dream
Cold sweat beading down as I awake from a dreadful night
Maybe if I sleep faster I’ll have a chance to save another life
Sharp witted but brainwashed to believe this is real and not a dream
Love, anger, and hatred, cycle through the mind of a sleeper not as keen
Won’t you come on through and lock the door behind?
Lean close to me, and tell me it’s alright
Is there something I can do, to make it me this time
Oh just this time
Tell me it’s alright

A Drop in the Bucket
05:04
|
|||
|
There’s a friend of mine who likes to play guitar
He doesn’t like to play for crowds that go too far
His girlfriend loves to hear him strum the same old chords
She listens intently until she gives up and gets bored
But he has a dream of stardom when he plays
Being up on stage a part of everything
A drop in the bucket
She made a post of her singing online
Some producer (big man) saw it, said this bitch is mine
Flew her out to California in due time
Worked for three years, didn’t see a dime
Now she’s looking for compassion in this state
Some sort of connection that isn’t fame
A drop in the bucket

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...

I received this as a surprise present by the band for pre-ordering the upcoming album, so thanks a lot to you, too :-)) As could be expected by Pat Sanders & Co, highly melodic prog that should, for instance, appeal too friends of Fish-era Marillion (although Uncle Fish would never have reached those high notes ;-) ) and some instrumentals (from beautiful miniatures like Bubbles to the more epic Last Supper). Among many other fine things offered here, I especially love Pat's piano playing!
