lyrics

In the time you took to fall, I saw the whole world waking,
From the houses of old tales across the rooftops chasing -
Where the sleepers are waking.

And so we walked old friend in memory,
Bathed in the light of the good days.
And all we once knew found new form:
Our youth, our strength, the good days…

And voices sing out - they say…
“The sleepers are waking, returned from the night -
In the new mist of morning.”
With light in their eyes and no earthly disguise,
And the sound of laughter from the old house,
And a welcome by the door.

In the time it takes to fall I saw the sleepers waking,
From the houses of old songs across the rooftops chasing -

Their voices sing out - they say…
“The sleepers are waking, returned from the night -
In the new mist of morning.”
With all that they need and no earthly disease
And a home fire burning in the old house,
And a final shelter from the storm.
All we once knew: the houses of home.
Giving away the days of sorrow,
Giving in to the living light of memory

Avec la fin de mon adolescence et de ce fait la fin des années glorieuses du 'prog' jamais je n'aurai cru être de nouveau comblé par cette poésie, cette harmonie et cette musicalité qui sont la quintessence de BBT qui redonne au rock progressif ses lettres de noblesse...Merci Mellotronman

Interesting and eclectic work from this German band. Traces of Renaissance and Curved Air give way to a modern Symphonic Prog mix with an excellent production. Paul Ronayne
