lyrics

On the brink of the first step
between the emerald and the wine
My senses overload at the passage of time
As i stand dumbfound on the edge of something grand
I feel the beckoning of the masters hand

A distant star out of control
Beyond the reach of fools
Enthralled by the image of the old world left behind

Nonplussed and glassy eyed
We begin to settle down
A lifetime of wonder, our frontier resounds
Off in the distance in a worn and angry land
I can't hear your bickering, I don't care to understand

A distant star out of control again
Beyond the reach of fools
Enthralled by the image of the old world left behind

Forsaken Innocence
by Drifting Sun

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. Alrihkh
