lyrics
LONG NIGHTS
I took a step then brace for the fall
(clouded vision)
Another night, they pass in a haze
(spinning, numbing)
Try to speak then wait for the words
(reaching, slurring)
You speak to me, I can’t understand you
(fading, whispering)
Too much confusion
I can’t hear what you say
This room won’t stop turning
I’m here and now I think I’ll stay
Feeding the blood of my willing victim
(thinning, burning)
This is the one to ease the pressure
(comfort, longing)
Another drink to make me stronger
(feeding, nurturing)
You step inside, you answer my call
(twisting, controlling)
So much illusion
I’m moving though lying still
My mind won’t stop drifting
You move in for the kill
Another step and your senses are gone
(stumble backwards)
You feed my head, I feed on your soul
(satisfaction)
To face the day I taste the night
(sanity slipping)
And in the end I’ll get what I want
(bitter victory)
Crawling ‘cross the floor ‘cos I cannot stand
I’m all yours, will you take me away?
Oblivion’s where I finish the night
No more hunger when you turn out the light
And all that you can see is my inebriety
Amusing them all around
Who can’t share our common ground
To render your release I long in anxiety
For your love I seize control
In your arms I fall
Flowing down through my veins
Sterilizing all my pain
A victim by your caress
Truths tonight will I confess…
I had a dream and the dream was I
(nightmare, reality)
No need to fight then brace for the fall
(dark allegiance)
Heat of your touch you feel the burn
(rising mercury)
And in the end you’ll get what you want!
Long nights in my world
I return again to the day
Too much reality
It’s warm here, I think I’ll stay
HEAVEN'S EYES
You look through the mirror
To a place not so far from ourselves
The reflection of imperfection…
The reflection to us all
I can see your face looking back at me
Is it you?
Do you feel it lies in your hands?
And when you look into heaven’s eyes
You look into the eyes of us all
And still you never turn around
Like waters flow from the river to the sea
As they meet they come together
Once again the same as in the beginning
Is it the voices living inside your head
Shouting: “these are the words of the past”?
(the pain never fades)
Crying for justice, crying for shame
(it never goes your way)
The tears never helped you let go
So will you move on?
Will you cast them away?
Those that took hold of your soul…
Trying to reason, trying to fight
The past never lets you forget
This is the colour of your life
Is it the voices living inside your head
Shouting: “these are the words of the past”?
(so many times I tried to tell you)
Crying for justice, crying for shame
(over and over again)
The tears never helped you let go
So will you move on?
Will you cast them away?
(why you don’t listen to me)
Those that took hold of your soul…
Trying to reason, trying to right
The past never lets you forget
Quiet the voices crying inside your head
Take the sadness that lies on your soul
(you know you’re never alone)
Reaching for comfort, run from the pain
(we have to face the world as one)
Into the arms of our dreams
So now we’ll move on and live for today
Our dreams can create our new lives
They’ll give you comfort in your reflection
The strength to look into my eyes
And now when you look to the skies…
You’ll see the colour of heaven’s eyes
I took a step then brace for the fall
(clouded vision)
Another night, they pass in a haze

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...

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.
