about

The first song written for the album and a very obvious album opener.
Once the song was complete we knew we were on the right track for this album.

lyrics

A budding life erased and stopped at the drop of a hat.
No word of warning, no return for the man on his back.
Time separates me from the grief as it marches by.
You’re creeping into my dreams and I don’t know why.

And life is cruel again, inflicting endless pain.

I wake to feel the sorrow, I wait until tomorrow,
My brain is mapping out my days.
A world of desolation, a dash of exultation,
My pain is paving my walkway.

You’re swimming through my sleep and shaking both of my hands.
Delivering messages that I will never understand.
Sometimes you write for me and sometimes you’re rewriting the past.
Time separates me from the grief and it’s travelling fast.

And life is cruel again, inflicting endless pain.

Your mind will wait until you’re on your own.
Waiting to cast the final stone.
Your mind will tear strips from your brain.
Waiting to break your spirit again.

Well played and produced prog rock, presented by a musician passionate about his craft. And who wouldn’t love those Rush influences. Just great music. mjbb61
