Locked in time
Black and white
Grieving for my past
Light is dim
I won’t join
This homogenous mass
Deprived of emotion
Constant "learning to live" echoes from the walls
I am caged within the tragedy of perfection
Constant pressure heating up with no remorse
I am caged within the tragedy of perfection
Looking down
Unbanning depths
The fall’s a step away
Nighttime falls
Eternal black
Still eluding day
Stagnating pulse
No belief
Got no need to stay
Mind control
Prescribed ideal
I have lost my way
Deprived of emotion
Constant "learning to live" echoes from the walls
I am caged within the tragedy of perfection
Constant pressure heating up with no remorse
I am caged within the tragedy of perfection
Down and out
I feel the walls crumbling down
My head explodes
I need to get out now
Another senseless day
I cannot carry the weight
Anymore
Inconstant scales of Life,
always vacillating, how rarely
does a facile weight dare
announce itself to the soon vanishing
opposite load.
On the other side, the peaceful
scales of Death.
Space enough on both
of the kindred bowls.
Equal space. And beside it,
unused,
all the weights of Equanimity,
shining, in ordered rows. *
II. In the Still of the Night
I break down on the inside
My light begins to fade
In the autumn of my madness
Where the sky is turning grey
The last time all the colors of the fall
They blind me and they pierce while I crawl
Like your shadow stabbing your own back
Constant scales of nothing’s what I lack
At the end of my escapement
There’s only way out
I’m staring into coldness
My cries in vain are drowned
The last time all the colors of the fall
They blind me and they pierce while I crawl
Like your shadow stabbing your own back
Constant scales of nothing’s what I lack
In the still of the night
I lay all hope aside
I’m the one

BBT are standard bearers for modern prog, with a sound that evokes the spirit of those legendary 70s bands whilst managing to also be thoroughly contemporary. It's astonishing that over 30 minutes of music of this quality, with such high production values, is being made available for free - and their full albums are also very reasonably priced...

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

An amazing reinterpretations of old Genesis classics. Even "Invisible touch", in my opinion one of the worst songs by Genesis, in this album is a little gem. You can almost imagine Steve Hackett on classical guitar. mario1984
