Black Letters

First one to die
Was my great grandfather
Behind his blind eyes
Compassion like a brother
Time sings his memory
In my small bedroom
Reminds of old glory
Grandfather clock and old moon
Black letters like ravens
Sorrow like a crow
Strike into the havens of hope
Sweet heartbroken maidens
Priest carved of stone
Time feasts on my friends and foes
My friends and foes
Last one to die
Was our lovely grandchild
He laughed so much
That I cried and and cried
His favorite paper
Was our living room table
Now he is still able
To make me smile
Black letters like ravens
Sorrow like a crow
Strike into the havens of hope
Sweet heartbroken maidens
Priest carved of stone
Time feasts on my friends and foes
My friends and foes
Please end this life
I need my wife
There's only strife and pain
'Cause my own child
Wants me filed
And only meets me twice a year
Please end this life
I need my wife
There's only strife and pain
'Cause my own child
Wants me filed
And meets me twice a year

My End Leaf
04:32
|
|||
|
First pages were not left blank
full of scratches, scars and pain
Read my story of when I sank
deep beneath and came insane
Sat too long in my empty room
so full of words it made a wound
And I bleed and it'll never end
and I bleed until the world is red
Like tied up in this wooden chair
the game of life is never fair
And I feel that I need no one
and I feel now the time has come
Few steps and I'm by the window
looking down to my crucial relief
I lean forward let the wind blow
the final lines to my end leaf
Like tied up in this wooden chair
the game of life is never fair
And I feel that I need no one
and I feel now the time has come
I would've never thought by now
I could ever be this way
I would've never thought by now
Why can't I find better things to say
Like tied up in this wooden chair
the game of life is never fair
And I feel that I need no one
and I feel now the time has come

Frost
04:54
|
|||
|
I'm trying to make it back to you
The night is cold, the breeze is cruel
Northern lights won't guide my way
They're not here in autumn grey
Shooting star, the first of night
It brought me hope, brought me light
Second one, sign of a friend
Ninth was a sign of a bitter end
My love, please don't be mad at me
I'm trying to save us, can't you see?
One out of ten in the sky
It means that someone has to die
Maybe me, maybe you
The fear is haunting in the blue
I'll walk north, away from home
To see one more, to keep us whole
Frost on the leaves, on the straws,
Over the fields
Frost creeping on me
Like a mystery
If winter could ease my grief
Signs from the stars or from the moon
Are you insane, hey, you're a fool
You'll freeze to death before you know
Don't even know which way to go
The forest keeps you out of sight
They'll never know why did you die
They'll search you for a year or two
But there is nothing they can do
First snow will fall and hide your tracks
This is the last call to turn back
All of them you love and care
This is too much for them to bare
Shooting star, the first of night
It brought me hope, brought me light
Second one, sign of a friend
Ninth was a sign of a bitter end
Frost on the leaves, on the straws,
Over the fields
Frost creeping on me
Like a mystery
If winter could ease my grief
Frost on the leaves, on the straws,
Over the fields
Frost creeping on me
Like a mystery
If winter could ease my grief

I Promise You

I can't promise you much
Though I'd love to give you
All that you'll ever love
I give you my heart
Though it's not as sweet and
Innocent as you are
If I'm one mile away
Or a thousand million
Love is here to stay
I'm in awe of you
Born to flawless morning
Heaven shining through
I promise you
Our love is selfless, endless,
Faithful and true
I promise you
I'll stand beside you
Right next to the angels
Watching over you
I promise you
In the moment of tears
I take your hand and
Tenderly calm your fears
I embrace you with words
We can cry, my baby
As long as it hurts
I promise you
Our love is selfless, endless,
Faithful and true
I promise you
I'll stand beside you
Right next to the angels
Watching over you
I promise
Ten kisses like a dove
Declaring to you
Fragile wishes of my love
You complete our home
Like snowdrops we grow
Under Earth's little dome
I promise you
Our love is selfless, endless,
Faithful and true
I promise you
I'll stand beside you
Right next to the angels
Watching over you
I promise you
I promise you
Our love is selfless, endless,
Faithful and true
I promise you
I'll stand beside you
Right next to the angels
Watching over you
I promise you

In Silence
04:03

|
There'll be
Another day soon
The sun and the moon
Everyday the fire breathes
I wonder
If it still could light up the room
Longin' for
In silence
Could this ever be the same it was years ago
Hope survives
In silence
If only you could let yourself be much more
Was there a time
We were both strong
And everything and everyone was so wrong
Love burns
But I wonder
I wanted all this to work for so long
Longin' for
In silence
Could this ever be the same it was years ago
Hope survives
In silence
If only you could let yourself be much more
So much more
So much more
So much more
Longin' for
In silence
Could this ever be the same it was years ago
Hope survives
In silence
If only you could let yourself be much more
Longin' for
In silence
Could this ever be the same it was years ago
Hope survives
In silence
If only you could let yourself be much more

Together In This
05:37
|

|
Tried yesterday
to make myself believe
in the good of all humanity
And again today
do we really know ourselves
we're heading towards a tragedy
We must hold on
it's useless all we say
easy road and selfish way
This is where we belong
roaming through our filth
convinced we did nothing wrong
Who do we blame
it's all the same
wake up our world is in pain
we're all together in this
Who takes the blame
are you insane
all we do is complain
We're all together in this
Who do we blame
it's all the same
Got sick today
no idea what's wrong
the list goes on and on
Maybe that's the way
to destroy the path we've made
sounds like an awful cliche
Be ready to fall
there's truth behind those lies
make sure to act surprised
Get ready to crawl
'cause soon we'll loose it all
we got no choice for life goes on
Who do we blame
it's all the same
wake up our world is in pain
we're all together in this
Who takes the blame
are you insane
all we do is complain
We're all together in this
Who do we blame
it's all the same
Who do we blame
it's all the same
Who do we blame
it's all the same
Who do we blame
it's all the same
Who do we blame
it's all the same

Misery
04:43
|
|||
|
Everybody knows my name
Knows my place
Knows my face
But they don't really know who I am
I need to be unknown
This I've shown
But not alone
You really wanna know who I am
I don't wanna be someone new
They have to change their point of view
The way it has to be
Why everything must be so unreal
I don't even know how I feel
This is just reality
I never needed anyone
As you can see
I remain a mystery
I found a place where I belong
Misery
The one where everything is wrong
If the only way is to pretend
I will amend
Close to the end
Then I won't have to stop beeing who I am
You don't have to tell me what you see
You're close to me
and instantly
The veil reveals myself and you'll see my real plan
That I don't wanna be someone new
Honesty will pull me through
To the way it used to be
Why everything must be so unreal
Do I even have time to heal
This is just reality
I never needed anyone
As you can see
I remain a mystery
I found a place where I belong
Misery
The one where everything is wrong
I never needed anyone
As you can see
I remain a mystery
I found a place where I belong
Misery
The one where everything is wrong
Everybody knows my name
Knows my place
Knows my face
but they don't really know who I am

Sleeping Beauty
04:29

Reflection from
Your eyes
Can see my love that
Will arise
Absolute
Hard to breathe
Days prior
I was the one
Lonely drifter
Under the sun
I want you baby
My oasis
'Cause we are all I ever dreamed of
Godsent and perfect
Every day I love you more than
People ever met
As the curtains close
Now we are together
Inside the darkness
Of forever
Love has colored red
Our lips so blue
My sleeping beauty
I need to kiss you
In the future
We are the sun
Scattered planets
Undone to one
Transcendence
Of a touch
Born from dust
To be eternal
From heat of the air
To internal
I love you baby
Far too much
'Cause we are all I ever dreamed of
Godsent and perfect
Every day I love you more than
People ever met
As the curtains close
Now we are together
Inside the darkness
Of forever
Love has colored red
Our lips so blue
My sleeping beauty
I need to kiss you
'Cause we are all I ever dreamed of
Godsent and perfect
Every day I love you more than
People ever met
As the curtains close
Now we are together
Inside the darkness
Of forever
Love has colored red
Our lips so blue
My sleeping beauty
I need to kiss you

Hey Girl
05:43
|

|
Hey girl I love you
Your days had just begun
I was being alive like never before
I knew you could feel it too
Hey girl I love you
Your smile could rule my heart
Instead you lay down into my arms
Like we would be never apart
Hey girl I would die for you
But it won't bring you back to life
Light of the day ended too soon
Maybe once we share light of the moon
Hey girl I still love you
I hope you've found the way
You've seen in a dream or in a poem
The way that could lead you home
Let yourself go on
Before it's too late
You've waited so long
Let yourself go on
Our love will remain
For the tears have eased our pain
Our desperation
Won't make us believe
On our creation
Of right nor justice to be
In every action
Hatred want's to create
Why it had to be you
When my days are still ahead
Let yourself go on
Before it's too late
You've waited so long
Let yourself go on
Our love will remain
For the tears have eased our pain
Let yourself go on
Before it's too late
You've waited so long
Our love will remain
For tears have eased our pain

First day I thought I was okay
But my heart was freezing
And my mind was going astray
First night something in me died
I new for sure I've lost the fight
Day two all my blood was blue
Light of the dawn felt gray and cruel
Third day I threw your stuff away
First the clothes then your notes
'Cause nothing's here to stay
Third night I broke down and cried
there was a chance to live no more
Day four I slept on the floor
It just can't be forever more
Stay near my heart
Stay near my soul
So I won't see
I'm all alone
Fifth day I was blown away
Friends keep calling I'm ignoring
That they're only trying to help
Fifth night I turned up all the lights
But the night was screaming my end
Day sixty two I saw how
The nightmare came true
No way to make it back to you
Stay near my heart
Stay near my soul
So I won't see
I'm all alone
Stay near my heart
Stay near my soul
So I won't see
I'm all alone
It's been so long since I felt this way
Days go by
Is there nothing
Is there anything stopping me from going insane
Day seven-hundred and sixty four
I've not lost the count
Though I've lost about all
This night I sleep on someones side
She's not you it's still true ’cause I’m alone

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 ;-)

Absolutely hooked on this album from first listen. How rare is that with prog!??? Excellent songwriting and musicianship. Can’t wait to dive into the rest of the collection.

Surprisingly good. As may be expected from 2 members of a Pink Floyd tribute band, "Rain" invites comparisons to PF's concept albums and Roger Waters' solo work. Recommended listening for anybody who was disappointed by Endless River!
