Wake up, the night is over,
Carpe diem, vita brevis,
These are the moments in the sun,
Wake up the sun is burning.
Wake up, the dream is over,
There's sand in your eyes, the hourglass is running through,
These fleeting moments are your life,
So wake up, the dream's not over,
Wake up, the dream's not over.
You can't put more sand in the hourglass.
Wake up, the world is burning.

Blind Faith
10:05
|
|||
|
The rain keeps falling,
We're ankle deep,
Sandbag the doorways,
Some of us are trying to sleep.
It's only water,
It's just a swim in the park,
Maybe tomorrow,
Noah's gonna build an ark.
We may be sinking,
Blind faith will keep the rain away,
We may be sinking,
But close your eyes, we're not going to drown today.
There's no point worrying, your head's not under water,
There's nothing to do that can't wait a week or three,
There's nothing to see, tell you nothing to see,
It's mountains out of mole hills,
There's nothing to see, tell you nothing to see,
The levee never broke before.
We make be sinking,
Blind faith will keep the rain away,
What are you thinking?
Tomorrow can wait, you don't want to spoil today.
We don't need to panic, anyone can see it's not true,
We don't need to panic, anyone can see it's not true,
Nothing needs to change,
There's nothing here to rearrange,
Any fool can tell you it's not true.
We may be sinking,
Blind faith will keep the rain away,
We may be sinking,
Just close your eyes, we're not going to drown today.
Two by two they're cracking,
Two by two they leave,
Let them run for shelter,
If that's what they believe,
Two by two they're drowning,
On the other side of the hill,
They say the tide will reach us,
But I don't think it will.
No need to panic here, no need to fear,
We are the faithful, our path is clear.
But the rain keeps falling,
The rain keeps falling,
The water's rising,
It's time to sink or swim.

My Home Is Tomorrow
08:22
|

|
Sometimes it seems my home is tomorrow,
Today's just a refuge before I move on,
When your home is tomorrow,
You'll never belong today,
With your eyes on the future,
Wishing time away,
And you search for tomorrow,
And you wait until it feels like home,
And you hope that tomorrow,
When you find it, feels like home,
But the world keeps on turning,
And you feel the same,
And the road stretches onwards,
With no end,
But the world won't stop moving,
And you fight to hold on,
It sends you in circles,
With no end,
When your home is tomorrow,
You spend your life far from home.
When your home is tomorrow,
You'll never belong today,
With your eyes on the future,
Did you lose your soul in yesterday?
I can't see the future,
I can't see the future.
I can't see the future.
How will I know when I'm home?
So you wait and you wait until it feels like home,
And you wait and you wait and you wait,
But the world keeps on turning and you stay the same,
Yes the world keeps on turning.
When I laid my roots down,
I left them in the past,
When I lived for the moment,
The moment was gone so fast.
That's why I hope I'll find one day,
That my home is tomorrow.

Castaway
10:58

Stranded in this bay, a hundred lives ago,
I never meant to drop my anchor here,
It seems I fell asleep whilst sheltering from a storm,
I'm waking up and now the skies are clear.
Cast me away, set me adrift,
And I'll find a new reality,
Cast me away, I'll leave what's shore behind,
Cast me away, set me adrift,
I'll sail into serenity,
I don't need a piece of land for peace of mind.
Cast me away, set me adrift,
And I'll chart my own reality,
And I'll ride on the waves white horses by my side,
Cast me away, set me adrift,
I'll sail into serenity,
Horizon ahead, the ocean stretching far and wide.
Well I don't know what my future will hold,
I don't have the faintest idea,
But I don't need that certainty,
I'll follow the tide,
Go where the wind blows.
Sea... it's just a dream.

Patchwork Cacophony England, UK
Patchwork Cacophony is the brainchild of multi-instrumentalist Ben Bell. The keyboard-driven compositions have an emphasis on the classic instruments of the glory days of progressive rock, such as the hammond organ and mellotron.
Patchwork Cacophony recommends:
Who am I kidding? If you're here you probably already know Gandalf's Fist. If not, check out our latest album Widdershins.

Pat Sanders and co's latest album may be their best yet -- quite a feat. Prominent keyboards, fabulous vocals and guitar work and a dream of a rhythm section. Check it out!

Living Dangerously
by Broken Parachute
Broken Parachute is a collaboration between myself and Marcus Taylor. Our latest release is quite dark and quirky, and I think Marcus's writing brings out the best in my playing.

Forsaken Innocence
by Drifting Sun
supported by 14 fans who also own “Hourglass”
Soothfully a phenomenal prog rock album—an instant classic. What motivates me to say so, is the music’s incredible expressiveness & its wonderfully cinematic song structures. Jargon is a very good fit with this band. It is quite evident that the band’s current lineup have great chemistry together & that they share a common affinity to this vein of music. I look forward to their next creation. Drifting Sun are definitely one of prog rock’s brightest lights. Thank you, DS! 9+/10.

For those that remember the Look and Read series in the early eighties (which had such programmes as 'Dark Towers'), in my opinion this music evokes those feelings of mystery and wonder. Very, very impressed.
