SWAN SONG
Read between the lines, it’s not so hard
To find the truth of what it means
You patronize, I sympathize
But what the hell in the world
Could you ever hope to gain?
And you hope you’ll gain…
You look at me, I look at you
But will we ever see our colours?
Holding on, growing old
Seeing what I want to see
Holding out, but giving up
Hearing what I want to hear
Every which way the same shade of grey
And in the fading light there’s proof
No matter where our point of view
We always will remain
The same old traces of our youth
Though we never do appear
The characters that we endear in fantasy
Searching places high and low
The answer was before me all the time…
Every which way the same shade of grey
And in the fading light there’s proof
No matter where our point of view
We always will remain
The same old traces of our youth
DRIFTING SUN
She waits in silence for the memory…
For the lucid dream
It returns every night
She flies alone in a waking sleep
Above the world and beyond herself
In the song of the night
Nothing holds or keeps away the love
In the paradise of her soul
A quiet world, free to fly
A new reality
Ascending high away from fear
In the darkness tranquility
To provide escape…
The means to an end
There is no justice for the lonely one
Who lives in fear in a waking world
A silent cries no one hears
Are they listening?
And the wound runs deep,
A spirit left to die
Release the pain and find a new beginning
Inspired by imaginary grace
And if you lose your faith
Just look inside and find your way
Close your eyes and see a world beyond
So you’re falling, you’re falling from grace
So you imagine a place
You can hide the child inside
A quiet world free to fly
A new reality
Spreading wings away from fear
In the dark of the night someone looks…
Watches from above
Within a space away from fear
Release the pain and find a new beginning
Inspired by imaginary grace
And if you lose your faith
Just look inside and find your way
Close your eyes and see a world beyond
Transcend the edges
Of the daylight sleeping
Inspired by imaginary grace
And when you close your eyes
Just spread your wings and take your flight
Flying higher than the midnight sun
In the song of the night
Nothing holds or keeps away the love
In the paradise of your soul
Transcend the edges
Of the daylight sleeping
Inspired by imaginary grace
And when you close your eyes
Just spread your wings and take your flight
Flying higher than the midnight sun
Just a minute to close your eyes
Into the realms where eternity lies
All your hopes and dreams are one
Angel’s fire, the Drifting Sun
Memories face… iron to rust
Bring shattering pain to scattering dust
And as the dark of night declines
As you awaken the day to rise
A new beginning as time does hold
These hopes and dreams will now unfold
Memories fade… iron to rust
Bring shattering pain to scattering dust
All your hopes and dreams are one
Angel’s fire, the Drifting Sun
Memories fade… iron to rust
Bring shattering pain to scattering dust
Read between the lines, it’s not so hard
To find the truth of what it means
You patronize, I sympathize
But what the hell in the world
Could you ever hope to gain?
And you hope you’ll gain…
You look at me, I look at you
But will we ever see our colours?
Holding on, growing old
Seeing what I want to see
Holding out, but giving up
Hearing what I want to hear
Every which way the same shade of grey
And in the fading light there’s proof
No matter where our point of view
We always will remain
The same old traces of our youth
Though we never do appear
The characters that we endear in fantasy
Searching places high and low
The answer was before me all the time…
Every which way the same shade of grey
And in the fading light there’s proof
No matter where our point of view
We always will remain
The same old traces of our youth

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.
