lyrics

You could have been something in life
If you'd been healthy, or wealthy, or poor
You could have made everyone laugh
If you'd been funny
You could have been Ghandi - if -
If only you'd been born in India, yeah
You could have bought the starving a meal
If you'd had the cash

Chorus

Don't believe in your own sob stories
About how life should be
Like it is in your dreams
Don't believe in your own sob stories
You can't carry a cross
On a diet of peaches and cream

You could have been light for the world
If you hadn't locked yourself in the basement
You could have said things to revere
If you'd known what they were
You could have made discoveries
You could have changed history
You could have won medals of gold
If only you'd run

Chorus

You talk about sin as if you had
A unique view of the matter
As if you have some excuse
God won't recognise
You talk about dying as if you had
Some sort of choice in the matter
As if when it comes to you
You'll just close your eyes
Don't think that I don't understand
Or criticise you as if alien
There's something of you, the fantasy fool
In all of our lives
But when we replace life with a dream
Vision with hallucination
Sleep walk ensues
Wandering off in a deadly land

Chorus

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
