lyrics

You own a palace that´s as cold as you
Where an eternal frost is king from the cave to the attic
Steel walls with crystal windows
Ironically the fantasies of all the villagers

They are dozens of puppets
Fooled by your peddling influence
All these people held by their throats
And father Zweigart your prestigious talebearer

Hey mister mayor when you walk you seem so proud
With your sharp chin fixed to the sky
Narcissistic to the depths of your soul
Your feet are nailed at the top of the ego´s podium

The sky fills with more gray
The air is more and more infected
The rivers water now blurred
You only care about your own benefits

You proudly display tremendous ambition
As if it were your Babel´s tower
To kill time you isolate yourself in your hideout
You roll the coins between your fingers

Behind the throne a masquerade exists
A machine even more important than the king himself
A world governed by characters so different from those
Imagined by the people in front of the scene

Pig pens more dangerous than an army
And you extras and slaves of financial cartels
Untill the day your children wake up
Without a home, on a land taken over by their fathers

Trapped by democracy´s murder
Amputees of extorted power
Black gold rivers flow straight into his pockets
The world is at your feet, it´s in the bag. You can sleep peacefully

Another very good release from Canadian Rick Miller. I don't think that this gentleman can put out a bad record even if he tried. If you follow this artist and like his style of music that will not change with this release. lloydd

Wave after wave of victorious Symphonic Prog. This album is a treasure awash with strong melodies and poetic lyrics. Rob Hill

When you like your prog to be more beautiful and/or accessible than prog-proggy, than this is for you! Melodic as hell and yes, Peter Falconer is quite a singer! That wouldn't go half the way without the solid songs of Pat Sanders. A great combination of skills ;-) Carsten Pieper

The debut album of this great Polish prog band. It may not be quite as polished or mature as the latest couple of albums, but yet it features a different, less catchy - perhaps more proggy - and definitely a more somber version of the band. Retrospective have changed their sound, surely. You may prefer their latter music, or their former - but one thing is certain: this is a great album you should not miss! V_Shaft
