Right now I cant choose
thinking back to who, how, and where
I say what's the use
cause I'm jaded with my cares
Deprived by fear and doubt that has me acting on the past
At least I know I've figured out my lie is on the inside.
Thinking by and by
yes I'm thinking of what when and why
Of the lights going out
the faint glow like a cigarette in the dark
All my plans that demise
the future's sullen cry
are removed from choice
that has me reaching for the sky
Until I awake winter's hibernation…
Right now, if you'd choose
perk up your damn attitude
A social solution
for our philosophical pollutions
Politics will scream and shout in love or in snide
Forgetting what it's all about their lie is on the inside.
Can we live today?
for that was yesterday
folding under pride
lies on the inside
Until I awake far out in orbits range,
on the edge of time, is where I hope to find
Orbit's Range:
Melt me softly with your tones
Till thereʼs nothing left but bone
Throw your thoughts to the wishing well
Return me from this living hell
I am spinning out, to nowhere fast
My tether’s lanced
Hold me tight and don’t let go
Before I stray too far from home
I need your helping hand
To get me through this foreign land
Spin out of orbits range
With nothing ever changed
I’m going nowhere fast
Don't want to feel the strain
I am holding on to nowhere's past
please cut the cord
Spin out of orbits range.
Where everything has changed
I am finally free at last
The Near Edge of Time:
Waking to a new sunrise
I lay back and close my eyes
You come to me putting me at ease and pain fades away
Sitting' in cool of day nothing at all left for me to say
Far out of sight, my mind
takes flight I'm back on track
Standing by on the near edge of time I watch myself rewind
Falling slow I let go,
through the well again
Take a stand out loud I cry
Why I sigh
Why I sigh
Raise my hands and take a dive
Into the ocean blue
Open up a world inside
Hold it high, hold it high
Letting go what's in my hold
Inspiration's ties
Sweet serenity,
take my breath away
Creativity,
let my conscience speak
Consider this in reverence
Turn the search within
It's love itself, nothing else
to which if we'd adhere
what you imagine could be free to believe
the quality in the air
bound to the atmosphere
On the near edge of time
realize
fear is obscured behind
our light that shines
Listen to the sunlight in
every note, how it corresponds
to the nature of your song
listen beyond
Take a stand out loud I cry
Why I sigh
Raise my hands and take a dive
Into the ocean blue
Open up a world inside
Hold it high
Letting go what's in my hold
Inspiration's ties
all the things circling the night
the white stars burning bright
connect with someone else
ritual like the moon
revealing all 'neath the drape
in beautiful crescent shape
Today I awake
Wield the now that's real and true

Absolutely hooked on this album from first listen. How rare is that with prog!??? Excellent songwriting and musicianship. Can’t wait to dive into the rest of the collection. Thomas Lock

Not long ago discovered this band and needed to get an album. This was one recommended. Truly another Prog masterclass in musicianship. Off to buy more. Ken Dunsmuir

In the wake of buying the Welcome To The Planet I also went for this older "EP" (clocking in on 70 minutes a rather big big EP...) as a final farewell to a very bright bright star that sadly doesn't shine anymore. Carsten Pieper

This is a fantastic, cinematic listen of precise movements and virtuosic rhythmic switch ups. Zero dull moments, a rollercoaster ride of prog rock. Egg Wizard
