lyrics

And now I’m finally free
Unchained and cast aside
A hitcher on the road to anywhere
I can decide
Fear not this freedom
Coyote let me out and gave me wings

Mother can you hear me
It’s an awe inspiring sight
There’s a curious display before my eyes
You designed to send me packing
Spread my wings for the first time and now we’re going
On a crazy bumpy ride

Wo-ho-ho with a rebel by my side
We’ll hunt by night by day we’ll hide
Wo-ho-ho when the damage is done
It’s time for me to cut and run

If my friends could see me now
They’d be envious inside
I’m the unintended leader of the fight
Did you mean to mix me up in this
I don’t know why but they think I’m qualified
And they’re asking after you

Wo-ho-ho with a madman by my side
I’m the underground resistance bought to life
Wo-ho-ho when the damage is done
Well it’s time for me to cut and run

This strange path you’ve taken
With high hopes you’re laden
Just keep in mind you’re not alone out there
We count on you too

Just out of reach I feel
The future we desire
And in your heart I hope that you do too
So venture on and build
Our altered way of life
In the end we are all children of the
Same green matriarch

And we made it this far
Out of sight, as our
Very lives depend upon
Under cover of the stars
Striking out, at the
Self-appointed masters of our lives

Lay low and don’t raise the alarm
The tension’s killing me

Just out of reach I see the future you desired
And like you said I feel it too
Out in the chaos
Where we’re starting little fires
It’s clear to see the change that has to come

Wo ho ho with a rebel by my side
It’s a complicated, awesome bumpy ride
Wo ho ho when the damage is done
Well it’s time for me to cut and run

Another day
Another scramble for our lives
When will we be
Free from tyranny
And walk out in the light

Wo ho ho with coyote by my side
There’s nothing out there we can’t put to rights
Wo ho ho with the damage undone
Well it’s time for us to step out in the sun

Foreign Land
by The Far Meadow

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

Forsaken Innocence
by Drifting Sun

supported by 18 fans who also own “Nirgal”

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

Trip the Life Fantastic
by Drifting Sun

supported by 15 fans who also own “Nirgal”

To me, "Trip The Life Fantastic" was a must-buy on "Bandcamp Friday" this time. It's one of the few "Drifting Sun" albums not already found in my collection, and an essential one, because it marks the beginning of the prolific collaboration of composer/keyboardist Pat Sanders and lyricist/singer Peter Falconer, which was, in my opinion, the best creative pairing the band ever had.
