lyrics

Big Men hold our fates in their manicured hands
And say things to which we are deliver
An awesome sense of will abounds
When Big Men speak their throats are coal mines
Coal Mines
Their crocodile tears are beads of sweat
Dripping from the armpits of a million, million minions
Who work all their lives in order to buy their lives back
From the Big Men
From the Big Men

Playground sounds bring a preference for harsher noises
For clashing gears and metal in a tall sprung
Whose violent mechanism rules with gathering incantation
To whom human is enslaved for greater good

And the word of the central body is law
And the law is always but policy
Neatly arranged
And carefully voted for
Of course

Oh man
Do not love your machine
Oh man
Do not love your machine
Oh man
Do not love your machines
Your machines
Your machines
Your machines
Your machines
Your machines

The Edge Of Time

It's all a matter of taste. I love this album. I love it's serenity, the beautiful instrumentation, orchestration and the great production. Ambient is not my cup of tea either, but this album crosses the borders of ambient music and prog. In other words: an awesome album! Martin Melis

Three Worlds
by Pallas

This is an absolutely fantastic collection featuring near perfect newer run-downs of the Atlantis suite and Wedge tracks (with Rat Racing being my definitive entrance to this period, wonderful) as well as great and heavy concert sessions of The Cross and the Crucible and Sanctuary (personal favourite). My favourite bundle so far. futureperfect93
