lyrics
Walking in shadows
As the light fades away
Clinging to moments
That you wish would stay
Reality's slipping
To where who can tell?
No silver lining
No dreams left to sell
Don't look my love, don't look now
Hide your eyes child, don't look down
The pit's gaping open
Beyond the quick sand
And if you should fall now
Who knows where you'll land
Cos there's no forgiveness
Just heresy
I hold up my fingers tell me
How many can you see
When the viper's work is done
Will we rise up, or will we run?
Is there still a reason to fight?
Can we take control?
Or is it all lost now
And we've just gotta let it go?
If we do, then tell me can you
Still be at peace with your soul?
Cos if not, we've gotta give it another shot
We've gotta take it back
Take control
Take control
Take control
So beware of the new form
In another disguise
The truth is just a notion
Made by those they despise
But you know the truth now
It's been buried so long
They act like you only exist
Just to tell you your wrong
Hold your head high one more time
Courage now child, hold the line
There's got to be a reason to fight
Can we take control
Don't tell me that it's all lost now
And we've just gotta let it go
Cos if that's true, then tell me can you
Still be at peace with your soul
Cos if not we've gotta give it another shot
We've gotta take it back
Take back control
Is anybody out there?
Anyone at all?
Will somebody lead us?
Will we heed the call
No!
Now we've gotta take control
Don't let go
Now we've gotta take control
Don't let go
Now we've gotta take control
Don't let go
Now we've gotta take control
Don't let go

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
