lyrics

No child with an open mind should feel the burden on his shoulders
while we buy ourselves another day
He's been told not to be afraid and stares into the eyes of a stranger
while his parents start to beg and pray

And in reverse He's feeling worse...

No man should ever have to hide but in the end it's what he believes in
He's so close he can't see where he is
Disappear into slavery. Be blind, bow down, keep quiet and be happy
It's better to accept than to resist

Why do I try to cross the line and ignore the signs?
Another dream, or so it seems, is taking over me
And I might find a way to clear my mind on the other side
but again I look down and walk away tired and ashamed

He should have been in paradise. With every breath he's wearing himself down He's still hoping but he lost his smile
Although he never learned to cry his eyes are burning, red, wet and swollen Despite the shame he's feeling so alive

Fight your way through history
Guide me to what you wanted me to see
But hide these empty memories
Time will clean up after me

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
