This striped bass spoils from its head downward;
down where the brook runs deep with water that's smooth like a silver tongue.
Unlike a garden in bloom, we will never return back to the source that follows us until it sees something it needs and takes it back.
Thousands of breaths, they make unclean getaways.
What was my fault's now yours, and they'll turn to desperate acts to stay.
Now, pay attention.
They'll turn their backs if it benefits them.
As sons of the soil, there was no stopping what followed the plow.
Now, have you come here to die or have you come here to settle?
I need compliance, a taste for violence when we divide.

down where the brook runs deep with water that's smooth like a silver tongue.

As sons of the soil, there was no stopping what followed the plow.
Now, have you come here to die or have you come here to pray to a god who twisted your wrists in hopes the channel would break?
You think you're god?
No, you're not god.
You're just forsaken.
Unlike a garden in bloom, we will never return back to the source that follows us until it sees something it needs and takes it back.

Masterful production - deep, slow enough and a feast for your headphones. Inspiring arrangements and soul-searching vocal performances from a vast array of styles and voices. It's a mega-album, a world of its own. Up there with all the greats of the symph-prog genre. I just can't have enough of it. I like the balance between drama and calmness - always keeps you on your toes, gasping for more peaks and highs. Bordering on perfection - almost the best thing ever done in the progressive world.
