lyrics

Day she dim draw down the night
Thoughts they turn towards the light
On the homeward road
You say you will make the move
When your heart and mind approve
The way your conscience goads
But you know you need more than a desire
You need the depth love alone can inspire
To impart the willpower that you require
To step out of the fire - Don't you wait too long!
All around the jaws they clash
Hungry nightmare teeth they gnash
Looking you up and down
Tick the time tock seconds pass
Clock the forces that amass
The gauntlet is thrown down
But you say you'll wait 'til your youth is gone
Then you say you'll wait 'til your loving is done
Then you've got a career, high ambitions to be won
When does the time come - Don't you wait too long?
Most of say that we'll run away sometime
Few get as far as the gate
Some run a lifetime, ten times round the whole world
End up in the same sorry state
When the fact of death examines all of which we're proud
Stop and think about it
Doesn't it make you want to cry out loud?
But to who?
Who can take you to heaven?
Who knows what it is to be you?
Who can righteously judge between your mistakes and your sins?
Tell me who said
'Except by him nobody enters in?' - Don't you wait too long!

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

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. nuttinikki
