The Astronomers

She studies lunar eclipses, planetary ellipses
In the garden of her home
Observing the weather, compiling the data
To battle the droughts and floods
Devising ancient tools of astronomy
A pioneering drive to comprehend
She says knowledge must reach us equally
I see celestial realms
Spiral galaxies afar
The altitude of the sun and stars
I set my eyes to the sky
And I see what lies beyond
I’ll map the cosmos and try to understand
Astrological tables, parallax calculations
One hundred scientific papers
Binary stellar systems, dark matter existence
She’s logged three hundred thousand stars
She’s the first chief of astronomy
A driving thirst to comprehend
She says science must treat us equally
She’s denied the prize and recognition
Brutalised and dies for her rationalism
I see celestial realms
Spiral galaxies afar
The altitude of the sun and stars
I set my eyes to the sky
And I see what lies beyond
I’ll map the cosmos and try to understand
I see celestial realms
Spiral galaxies afar
The altitude of the sun and stars
I set my eyes to the sky
And I see what lies beyond
We’ll map the cosmos and try to understand

Destination Zero
08:31

I have been watching
The pendulum sway
I have been waiting
For the fading of the day
We sit here in silence
As the world twists out of shape
We shelter for cover
But we can’t escape
Guns and laws and wars of words won’t get anyone out of this!
I have been toiling
And now I must wait
I sit in my capsule
I try to create
The thoughts and the demons
They try to take hold
The fear and isolation
My mind’s growing cold
Close the doors and borders, don’t let anyone out or in!
We’re mourning our losses
In this cruel, endless game
We’re tracing the figures
We point the finger of blame
We’ve crossed the earth’s surface
The far side of the moon’s sphere
But now we have no choice
We must remain here
Guns and laws and wars of words won’t get anyone out of this!
Close the doors and borders, don’t let anyone out or in!

Something Hurts
04:53
|

Something hurts inside
There are so many reasons to feel down
Something hurts deep inside
Will I ever have the nerve to admit this reality?
I’ve tried to leave it behind
As irrational borders keep rising around
I cannot find peace of mind
Who is ever going to stop such senseless brutality?
Dark and grey
That’s how I see the world
When you are not with me
Dark and grey
That’s how I see the world
When you are not with me
Believe me I have tried
To dodge the guards and escape from this town
There’s nowhere I could hide
As I crawl upon the twisted angles of humanity
Dark and grey
That’s how I see the world
When you are not with me
Dark and grey
If you are not with me
What’s the point of it all?

The Last Of Humankind
05:35
|
|||
|
Now that all my enemies have died
As I stand surrounded by blood
Was ever an ideal worth fighting for?
The only survivor
Holding a sword in my hand
The last of humankind
On a wasted and empty land
Now that all my people have died
As I lie here on the mud
Should I unsheathe the blade one last time?
Nothing to hold onto
Nothing to live for
Nothing to be shared
Nothing to be cherished
Nothing to cling to
Nothing to dream of
No home to return to
No shelter to be found
No battle to be fought
No home to return to
The only survivor
A field of corpses in front of me
The last of humankind
Life does not make sense to me

You Won't Have My Faith
04:27
|
|||
|
If, if we could meet again
Would we make the same mistakes?
Maybe nothing would change
This is our end
Now there’s a deep rift between,
between my destiny
and your expectations
We are at the edge of a cliff
Nothing is as it used to be
Everything has changed
Because I am not afraid
Of losing my place
I can’t paralyse myself
There is so much inside
All the broken promises
Have crushed my heart
I’ve got to dig out
All the lies I’ve been told
I can’t stand it anymore
I’m tired of feeling so shattered
You, you were my support
But you let me down
That is why...
You won’t have my faith

Dwellers of the Deep
by Wobbler
supported by 6 fans who also own “Revealed II”
This might be the least folky of the Wobbler releases and I wasn't sure about it at all. After a few listens however I'm loving the inventiveness and the endless melodies, all driven along by Kristian Hultgren's wonderful percussive bass.

supported by 5 fans who also own “Revealed II”
A band that is a fairly recent discovery of mine, this is their second album of complex, multi-layered, and multi-dimensional folk-informed progressive rock music. I am in love with the amazing vocal and instrumental arrangements as well as their mastery of refreshing melodies and stories. A new favorite band!

A Trace Of Memory
by Sanguine Hum
supported by 5 fans who also own “Revealed II”
I'm a recent Sanguine Hum convert and I can't believe it's taken me until now to discover them! This is a simply fabulous album. If you're a Steven Wilson, Anathema or even a Gentle Giant, Jellyfish or Hatfield and the North fan, get yourself a copy. Great musicianship, wonderful melodies, superb voice, top songwriting.
