lyrics
The immortals here they dance their lives away
See the signs and watch the Gods at play
There you are, keeping your fears at bay
See the Angel with the broken wing
See the Devil who owns everything
There’s your bell – now can you hear it ring?
What gifts will your life bring?
Follow the leader blindly and stupidly
Open your mind to his beckoning call
These are the times we stand by our windowsill
Waiting for new rain to fall
On through the smog caused by your cigarettes
As your voice breaks through age and through fear
Write me a beautiful and ignorant poem
Sing me the song of the year
These brave new warriors wailing your language
To give you a haircut which tears you apart
Are you the only one breathless and brilliant
Who pierced the lobes of his heart?
Find someone quickly whose smile is immortal
Find the one reason why God built the girl
Get on the freeway and torture your car
While carving your name in the world
Things come, things go, we stand, we fall
Your voice, your call, are you really here at all?
You touch, you taste, you run, you stay
We save, we waste, this is just a relay race
When the sky falls and swallows your village
And when the dam breaks and dampens your soul
When all your diamonds have rotted and tarnished
And left you nothing but coal
Then come out and find me and we’ll drink tequila
We’ll pour it on youth and we’ll swallow the worm
We’ll light it with brave unquenchable laughter
And we’ll warm our hands as it burns
Things come, things go, we stand, we fall
Your voice, your call, are you really here at all?
See the signs and watch the Gods at play
There you are, keeping your fears at bay
See the Angel with the broken wing
See the Devil who owns everything
There’s your bell – now can you hear it ring?
What gifts will your life bring?
Follow the leader blindly and stupidly
Open your mind to his beckoning call
These are the times we stand by our windowsill
Waiting for new rain to fall
On through the smog caused by your cigarettes
As your voice breaks through age and through fear
Write me a beautiful and ignorant poem
Sing me the song of the year
These brave new warriors wailing your language
To give you a haircut which tears you apart
Are you the only one breathless and brilliant
Who pierced the lobes of his heart?
Find someone quickly whose smile is immortal
Find the one reason why God built the girl
Get on the freeway and torture your car
While carving your name in the world
Things come, things go, we stand, we fall
Your voice, your call, are you really here at all?
You touch, you taste, you run, you stay
We save, we waste, this is just a relay race
When the sky falls and swallows your village
And when the dam breaks and dampens your soul
When all your diamonds have rotted and tarnished
And left you nothing but coal
Then come out and find me and we’ll drink tequila
We’ll pour it on youth and we’ll swallow the worm
We’ll light it with brave unquenchable laughter
And we’ll warm our hands as it burns
Things come, things go, we stand, we fall
Your voice, your call, are you really here at all?

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.

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...
