lyrics

When the forests are burning
The sticks being snapped
The water is oily
The oil’s being tapped
And everyman’s child
Lives where everyman crapped
Tell me truthfully
Where are you bound?
When the cripples are left
At the side of the road
The healthy revive them
Just to increase their load
So the healthy do better
And the cripples be blowed
Tell me truthfully
Where are you bound?
Where rivers are poisonous
Flowing with silt
The guilty sell newspapers
Histories of guilt
The ruins of Babylon
Are still being built
The blood of the innocent
Filmed as it’s spilt
Those engaged upon truth
Are encouraged to jilt
Greed and debauchery run at full tilt
Into bed with the lawless one under a quilt of lies and derangement in debt to the hilt
And the bonds of our death are paraded as guilt
And the filth is too deep for 10,000 mile stilts
And the Number One song is a funeral lilt
And the only law kept is “Do as thou wilt..”
Tell me truthfully Brother
Tell me truthfully Sister
Tell me truthfully everyone
Everyone everyone
Are you not bound?

Three Worlds

supported by 17 fans who also own “Where Are You Bound?”

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

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
