lyrics

What will you see at the close of the day
Look around
What will you hear as you floating away
The final sound

Do you know what's there?
Do you want to know?

I will not go gentle into that night
Dark is right
Follow your rage that is blazing inside
Hurting, bright
Don't let your fire fade away
Please do not go gentle into that night

Even though dark is right

You have miles to go before
You fall asleep
You have miles to go before
Another sweep

What is this place we're stopping by
Rave of time
How will you feel when we arrive
It's afterlife

Do you know what's there?
Do you want to know?

I will not go gentle into that night
Dark is right
Follow your rage that is blazing inside
Hurting, bright
Don't let your fire fade away
Please do not go gentle into that night

Even though dark is right
Even though
I am lost in the woods
I thought I know

Well, look around
You have arrived
You've gone through the rave of life
Well, look around
You have arrived
It's afterlife

Lead guitarist for Neo-Prog band, Airbag, has released this solo recording, and as expected, there is plenty of guitar goodness all through it. He brings in other musicians to fill out the band, as well as being joined at times by a female vocalist. The lyrics are thoughtful and often mournful, with a wealth of dynamic tension and release, musically. It becomes more striking with each listen, as, deceptively, there is much to ponder here.

Incredible prog-metal! Wow, these guys are the real deal! Part Dream Theater, part Haken, hell even part Genesis (okay, maybe that's just me.) I'm so excited to see the future for this band...a must own for modern prog lovers! whenghostsdreamalone
