And it seems my time has passed
Before me until now, in sequences of moments
And now I see this poster, they seem to need me anyway
I'll take the shilling sign
I'll make a positive move, to be an action man
The women seem to want us to go
So I can't refuse,
No, I can’t refuse
So I find myself in a country somewhere
Where mayhem's madman minions all march around a square
Unquestioning obedience is the order of the day
Your friends are coloured khaki and your enemies are grey
The Sergeant Major’s pep talk
"Alright my likely lads, you've left your mums and dads, now
Our glorious leaders start a war, to protect the 'ole of 'umankind that's why they always stay be'ind
What d'ya mean ain't it wrong to kill?‘ Not if the top men say so!
Where you're going, sonny, general's top chap
Next to him you're a small piece of crap
If none of us went out of fight,
We'd never prove our side was right would we?
ATTENTION!“
The Colonel’s pep talk
"The front line is a pretty bloody place to be, that's why you go instead of me
Now, I'd hate to send you all off thinking that if you get yours
You're going to fret about your families, so don't.
They'll get some lovely souvenirs
A nice bronze plaque on which will be your name
You'll get free crutches if you end up lame, good God!
'Though the numbers of dead will contain many zeros, the survivors will return to a land fit for heroes
Would I lie to you? PRESENT ARMS!“
Put next to a young boy in a knee-deep trench
Whose hand even shakes when he keeps it clenched
We attack tomorrow in dawn's early light
And as this sinks in I'm so scared
I can't wait for it and tonight to be over
It and tonight to be over
"ALRIGHT LADS, OVER THE TOP WE GO!“
I can't take it, I can't make it, I trip, stumbling
Caught in the barbed wire,
Amongst the heat and smoke of the crossfire
It's madness, madness, mad mad mad mad mad mad...madness
On a station platform full of stretchered flesh and bone
Legacy of how easy it is to destroy whatever's grown
Maybe there's a reason, that is worthy of a name
Just sick illusions I suppose will happen again
Next time they ask for men at least I'm beyond recall
I didn't gain my self-respect, I didn't gain anything at all
If hate and war could solve anything, don't you think they'd have solved it a long time ago?
There's good and evil in all of us
It's up to you alone which you follow
And I know which is my cause from now on
The only one worth sacrifice
The only one I would have remain
When I'm gone, but I'm not gone... Yet!
The flags we weave only deceive
We must believe
We must believe… in love

The Journey to Atlantis
by Pallas
supported by 17 fans who also own “Sequences”
I remember the excitement when The Sentinel was released having seen the band live a few times before. I loved the album but was aware that there were tracks missing and it had been rumoured that it was to be a double album. To hear all these takes and works in progress takes me right back to the 80's and the buzz of all the new prog that was coming out back then. This is an absolutely essential purchase for any Pallas fan.

Steve Rothery band Live in Plovdiv
by Steve Rothery
supported by 15 fans who also own “Sequences”
The first official outing of the "what would be" Steve Rothery Band. Riccardo Romano was missing with his keyboard wizardry and no singer at all (later Martin Jakubsky of Stillmarillion). Marillion's catalogue was represented by excerpts of instrumental sections where Steve had his solo spot. This is a milestone in the forming of a great band that later became the spokesman of early Marillion era and of course of Steve's solo material.
