lyrics
Last chance to pacify the restless coming storm
The die is cast but this time no herald sees it fall
No help from the pioneers, the heroes are long gone
Our lonely little empire is about to come undone
Can't change the world without power and strength
Maybe I just need a friend
I'll wear my mask and contrive what to say
It's good to see you again
Flash back to before the troubling days beset us all
We thought that we could separate, the money from the law
No use in what might have been, the past is set in stone
We can only struggle on, beg and bargain for our home
Can't change the world without power and strength
Maybe I just need a friend
I'll wear my mask and contrive what to say
It's good to see you again
Can't stop the chain once the match is lit
Can't tip the balance to save the day
Our greatest symphony incomplete
We see red, we see red
You better hide little gambler, it's out of sight but on their mind
You can manipulate the masses, but now they've turned away from you
Run and hide little gambler, before your exploits become clear
There's a ghost behind your shadow
And he's coming after you
Rise and fall, Run the wall
Rise and fall, Run the wall
Another lost and lonely traveller
He might be running from his past
Another hero out of favour
Another soul to fill the caravan
Oh journey out with me tonight
Under the stars that we once knew so well
I see reflected in your eyes
My sullen fear of being lost and cast aside
Under the cover of the darkness
We could get out of here alive
Another step, another day, another, place
We'll find our sanctuary's fine
Oh journey out with me tonight
We won't be seen we creep so carefully
I see reflected in your eyes
I wasn't quite who you signed up to stand beside
We wouldn't be forgiven
We wouldn't be forgiven
We wouldn't be forgiven
How could we be forgiven
So our journey carries on into the night
Reluctant friends and refugees compelled to do waht's right
Beyond the pale I can see better things to come
We once were kings of this untouched and barren land
Benighted by our own success, they took it from our outstretched hand
and now we are, outcasts and renegades undone
Could I prevent this great catastrophe
the queen of mars now spiralling, into a black and callous void
The damage done, she couldn't hold us back for long
We've come so far, where did we go wrong
We are just dust, drift a long way from home
We've come so far, where did we go wrong
Another sacrifice into the unknown
And through it all, we're still standing strong
Running blind and the search carries on
Don't look back, soon I'll be gone
Remember me my Maya
Your wish is done, but now I've seen what you've become
Foul play and deception, as a means to stay in charge
Tyrant or not, your utopia was wrought
Founded on lies, it's the reason we're alive
I guess you never really wanted to go on
Another day laden by your own regret
When I looked in your eyes
Like the windows of an empty house, that was the last time
Cast aside, by the storm
Incomplete, my work undone
Who will wear, the bloodied crown
Now that' I've drifted away
When all is done and the dust clears away
His final gift will remain
Our brave new world the dawn of a new age
Maybe I'll see you again
Can't stop the chain once the match is lit
But perseverance will save the day
Our greatest strength is within ourselves
The red light of our union will prevail
Hampshire based Progressive Rock group Viriditas formed in 2018. Inspired by classic Prog bands such as Yes, Camel and Genesis, Viriditas bring the nostalgic melodic approach of that 70's era and fuse it with their own unique vocal style.
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. Hakim Zulkufli
The Long Island metal band's third album etches arena-sized hooks into their jagged compositions, deftly balancing experimental and poppy inclinations. Bandcamp Album of the Day May 12, 2022
Sustained by seismic psych riffs, proggy shifts, and vivid sci-fi storytelling, these Milwaukee cosmonauts command respect. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 29, 2023
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!
