lyrics

I fell into silence
I closed my eyes against your words
I hear them lap like waves against my eyelids
You say I dream all day
And if I don’t wake up I’ll dream my life away

I hear what you’re saying
Your common sense defeats the Gods
The ones to which you say that I was praying
You say I look transparent
I know it’s true ‘cos I see through you

And though I run
And though I fly
I cannot reach
My peace of mind

I chased the rainbow over all my friends
I stepped upon their hearts and feelings
I chased the rainbow away from all I knew
But why’s my pot of gold so far from you?

You say I dream all day
and if I don’t wake up I’ll dream my life away

I chased the rainbow over all my friends
I stepped upon their hearts and feelings
I chased the rainbow away from all I knew
But why’s my pot of gold so far from you?

Fantasy progressive rock is not something I'd ever thought of. Yet Foreign Land, especially the Foreign Land track itself, transported me straight into an unknown, magical fantasy world. Hakim Zulkufli

BBT are standard bearers for modern prog, with a sound that evokes the spirit of those legendary 70s bands whilst managing to also be thoroughly contemporary. It's astonishing that over 30 minutes of music of this quality, with such high production values, is being made available for free - and their full albums are also very reasonably priced...
