about

Genesis 4:16; Matthew 5:44

lyrics

Refugee go aimless on to leave behind your pain
Worship cash in temporal temples
Back turned to the rain
Words rush through the air
To form a blast of sickened breath
Eyeless idols blankly stare into the solid dusk
Nostrils wrinkling on the stenches which leak put from their husks
Letting innocence be hanged and thrown down in the dust
Gathering round the big machines now left to rot and rust
Department stores sell shiny sores to stick upon your skin
Design their special goods to fall apart when you’re not in
Intricate imbalances drop earthwards shafts of light
From crushed and broken clouds whose creaking mass devours the night
Your ladies wear bright ribbons and stand baying at the moon
Your men rub ashes into their faces with a tarnished silver spoon
Men in khaki uniform perfect a reverend skill
Dictated by a bunkered big man whom knows his power drill
Doesn’t it sound crazy to you?

Three Worlds

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

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

The Journey to Atlantis

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
