lyrics

Alistair

I walk alone, but this time I need a soul
To come with me and take me along the road.

I see the hills and trees so vividly
We were so fortunate to have all this.

***

I walk alone, but people start to flock
Impatiently they scurry along the road.

I walk alone, we were so strong!
We couldn't see our glorious Earth was home.

Nuclear wars, famine and death
The inevitable pests we create
Military eulogies
Strategies to better kill our dreams.

There's not even time to save yourself
All your enemies become your friends.

All biochemical waste
Went to spawn a graver race of men;
Livid monsters who did find
Our flesh was not enough for their fangs.

And there's a time, and there's a place
To run away
There's a time to be yourself.

And there was kindness, and there was pain
But we escaped our daily misfortunes and prayed.

Amidst the pastures, the healing air
We didn't care
Though God had told us to treat them well.

I walked alone, now I see I was wrong
To close my eyes and let them on their own.

They tore down trees and trampled viciously
The wraiths convened to feast grounded fears!

Now we must come back and face
The state of our race;
No time for tomorrow, we shall hide our sorrow.

Facts and figures we'll create,
We'll bring them to their death;
In need of solution, and in dire straits!!

I bought Fantastic Freak Show then after listening to about half of it I bought their entire discography. Don't make my mistake, just buy the discography first, you won't regret it. These guys are incredible, one of the best Psy-Rock bands I've heard. On top of that, these are almost all 24/48 and 24/96 recordings so their collection price is an amazing bargain. I have no clue how I missed these guys until now but I have a bunch of listening to do right now. :-) Dean Kimball
