lyrics
Walking on the broken glass which fell down from the roof
While others fly above you, united in their truth
When did good intentions turn to burning coal?
Reality is upside down, so you'd better change your soul
Should you choose to walk in to no man's land
It's full of traps and tripwires, your life is in their hands
So many walking blind who have no eyes to see
And the seals bark at their downfall, believing that they're free
I see the train coming home, as it pulls into the station
Suddenly it steams away, moving in the wrong direction
Is anybody seeing the truth, or is that a crazy notion?
And now the clowns all run the show and we're blinded by emotion
Stop the world cos I wanna get off
Cos I feel so far behind it
Seems like there's another planet that I should be living on
And I'll let you know when I find it
Searching for dragons, but there's none to be found
So they swing their blade at nothing, on their ever higher ground
The doubts you feel are echo's of a long dead time
You'd better join the new world, or you'll have to pay the fine
Dealing with the mundane, of the dreary day to day
The thing we must not mention, the thing we dare not say
Cos intellectual honesty got up and walked away
You're with us or against us, it's just a game we play
For the sake of a couple of bricks, we pulled down the entire building
And now all that's left is a world of kerosene and feelings
I would be insane if I went along with your crazy notion
And I'm getting seasick from the perpetual emotion
Stop the world cos I wanna get off
Cos I feel so far behind it
It's like there's another planet that I should be living on
And I'll let you know when I find it
Everyone's talking, but nobody hears
We're all too busy running
And nobody knows where the hell it's gonna go
Cos nobody saw it coming
Nothing to see here
Nothing to fear
Sing with the choir
Burn the Pariah
Stop the world spinning I cry
Cos I've got to get off of this ride
Cos I feel like I'm going insane
And I've got to get off of this train

Absolutely hooked on this album from first listen. How rare is that with prog!??? Excellent songwriting and musicianship. Can’t wait to dive into the rest of the collection. Thomas Lock
