Olivier SEGAS J'ai acheté l'album parce que j'aime les artistes qui jouent dans ce groupe. Particulièrement Mark Atkinson et sa superbe voix. De plus les musiciens qui l'accompagnent sont à la pointe ! Un Prog Rock dynamique moderne et mélodique comme j'aime !

The Web 04:48
THE WEB Music: Iain Jennings Lyrics and Vocal Melodies: Marc Atkinson Somewhere out there she taps her fingers on her phone She’s telling people everything they need to know With updated status sharing her life with the world It all caught up on the web It all caught up on the web She just wants you to see happy pictures of family Living life as they should Oh but when worlds collide and the stars align And she’s caught in time on the strands of the web Then someone out there taps his fingers on his phone He’s provoking danger getting ready for the war to come They’ll be fire and fury like the world has never known And it all started on the web It all started on the web He is hypocrisy he can lie in transparency Even laugh in your face Oh but when worlds collide and the stars align He’ll be caught in time on the strands of the web A tangled web you will weave When you choose to lie and deceive You have to watch what you say Oh but when worlds collide and the stars align You’ll be caught in time on the strands of the web

SEIZE THE DAY Music: Iain Jennings Lyrics and Vocal Melodies: Marc Atkinson If we only had our hearts we could feel more than we’re feeling If we only had a pen we could write it all down If we only gave it time we could be more than we’re being If we only gave it love we could turn our lives around When every day gets a little bit shorter With every move there’s a little more pain We can’t go back to what we used to This life only goes one way Until the lights go out… Until we close our eyes But until that day can we all say that it’s good to be alive Can we make the most of all the time we have left Until all the stars go out before our eyes We should seize the day… We should seize the day In every single way... If we only had a plan we could do more than we’re doing If we only had a voice we could say it out loud When every sound gets a little bit louder And every word gets a little more stale We can’t go back to what we used to This life only goes one way Until the lights go out… Until we close our eyes But until that day can we all say that it’s good to be alive Can we make the most of all the time we have left Until all the stars go out before our eyes We should seize the day… We should seize the day In every single way...

The Veil 06:31
THE VEIL Music: Marc Atkinson/Iain Jennings Lyrics and Vocal Melodies: Marc Atkinson When days are like shattering glass They’re so fragile they don’t last It’s like chasing waterfalls… When hope seems a whole world away And you’ve not got the faith to pray For some kind of miracle… But is falling just all we can do Or is something inside me and you Like some sort of fairy tale Is it hidden and blinkered from view And buried inside of the truth In our own private wishing well… But if there’s a river in me It’s so far away from the sea That it’s running on empty… Is there nothing we can do or say Or are we just counting down to Judgement Day Like it’s some kind of miracle… But the hope for salvation is free It’s just between God and me They’ll be no hiding place… Is it fear that I’ll see in His face Or just eternal grace God only knows… If all that I said was wrong And I wrote it all down in a song Would it be just the fairy tale Of the face behind The Veil…
5.
Parachute 04:46
PARACHUTE Music: Iain Jennings Lyrics and Vocal Melodies: Marc Atkinson Free falling it’s such a long way down There’s no stalling it’s time to jump… Jump now You’ve got a man on your back and he’s wearing a pack And he’s got your life is his hands You’ve got a world far below and a long way to go Before your feet are back on the ground Open up that parachute I want to see it in the sky I’m gonna trace those colours through the blue So open up your parachute I’m gonna give you all I’m worth But I need you back on the earth Free falling it’s such a long way down Sky diving floating through those clouds You’ve got a man on your back and he’s wearing a pack And he’s got to pull that chord You’ve got the world far below and it’s so far to go But you’ve got no chance of getting bored Open up that parachute I want to see it in the sky I’m gonna trace those colours through the blue So open up that parachute I’m gonna give you all I’m worth But I need you back on the earth I need you back on the earth...
6.
SOMEBODY SAVE US Music: Marc Atkinson/Iain Jennings Lyrics and vocal melodies: Marc Atkinson Where are we going? What are we heading to? The rack or the ruin? How will we see it through? The mess that we’re making Tearing our world in two And we don’t know what to do We don’t know what to do any more We don’t know what to do We don’t know what to do any more Can somebody save us Save us from ourselves Can somebody save us Save us from this hell The leaders of nations They play their war of words With childish behaviour Decide the fate of our world ‘Cos they hold the power To simply destroy us all And they don’t know what to do They don’t know what to do any more They don’t know what to do They don’t know what to do any more Can somebody save us Save us from ourselves Can somebody save us Save us from this hell...
7.
WHAT’S YOUR NAME Music: Iain Jennings Lyrics and Vocal Melodies: Marc Atkinson Hey what’s your name I see behind that veil Although you try so hard to deny There’s more to this than meets the eye There’s more to this than meets the eye So can you just identify and even try to justify And meet the eye of me There’s more to this than meets the eye So can you just please testify and even try to pacify And meet the eye of me Hey what’s your name It seems that nothing’s changed There’s more to this than meets the eye… Can you show me who you really are Can you tell me how it got this far Can you be the only one to blame And can you start by giving me your name Hey what’s your name You sound a little strange There’s more to this than meets the eye So can you just identify and even try to justify And meet the eye of me There’s more to this than meets the eye So can you just please testify and even try to pacify And meet the eye of me Can you show me who you really are Can you tell me how it got this far Can you be the only one to blame And can you start by giving me your name
8.
SEVENTH HEAVEN Music: Marc Atkinson/Iain Jennings Lyrics and Vocal Melodies: Marc Atkinson Intro: Iain Jennings One by one they all fall down Two by two they form a crowd Three by three they live in harmony That sounds good to me Four by four they go to war Five by five try to stay alive Six by six they still play their dirty tricks Just to get their fix Seventh Heaven… Seventh Heaven Eight by eight they all spread hate Nine by nine they tow the line Ten by ten they do it all over again And again and again… Seventh Heaven… Seventh Heaven One by one they all fall down...
9.
Let Me Out 05:12
LET ME OUT Music: Iain Jennings Lyrics and vocal melodies: Marc Atkinson Let me out… Let… Let me out… You can lock me up and throw away the key You can tie me down but you can’t imprison me ‘Cos I’ve a restless soul and a burning need So open up this cage oh and set me free Let me out… Let… Let me out… Where’s the fire escape? Is there a safety room? ‘Cos I’ve got an exit plan and I’m going to use it soon Don’t make me shout The walls are closing around me now Let me out… Let me out… Let… Let me out… I need to break these chains that still shackle me I’ll gather up my strength with one bound I’ll be free Don’t make me shout The walls are closing around me now Let me out…
10.
Awoken 04:13
AWOKEN Music and vocal melodies: Iain Jennings Lyrics: Marc Atkinson/Iain Jennings Words, words are like gold then stories are told And lives can be broken So please just try to watch what you say Just try to live for the day Just try to be more awoken Life’s unpredictable it’s a merry-go-round Sometimes we have no control we’re either up or we’re down It’s up to each of us to be true to ourselves Love, love is the key within you and me That keeps the world turning So share with everyone everywhere And be more aware of lessons your learning There’s something magical in the way that it sounds When you think before you let the words come out It’s philosophical so believe when I say… Look before you jump over Think before you speak over Give before you take over learn before you rule over Now, now is the time lets make it shine And not just for our own ‘Cos we’ve so much to learn and bridges to burn But we know we’re not alone Life’s unpredictable it’s a merry-go-round Sometimes we have no control we’re either up or we’re down It’s up to each of us to be true to ourselves Look before you jump over Think before you speak over Give before you take over learn before you rule over
11.
ACROSS THE GREAT DIVIDE Music: Iain Jennings Lyrics and vocal melodies: Marc Atkinson I ride the whirlwind as it carries me I hold out my hands at my sides And I float on the breeze I find myself in a far away land Where you’re still alive And if it is alright with you I just want to stay by your side I see you in my dreams with echoes of a time Reaching out to me across the great divide… You watch me sleeping and you kiss my head I hold on to your presence whilst I lay in my bed Then I find myself in a cold darkened room Where you’ve disappeared I try to get to sleep again But all I can see are my tears I see you in my dreams with echoes of a time Reaching out to me across the great divide… Everywhere I go I see your white feathers Falling in front of me Giving me the message that you’re still with me And will always be I know I’ll see you in my dreams… Fade to black I hide the view Take me back to be with you I miss you You’ll forever be always a part of me Just simply out of view And when I close my eyes I start to visualise And all I see is you… ‘Cos I miss you And all the memories we made from the cradle to the grave I will remember them all… I’ll remember them all... I saw your moon halo… I saw your soul... I’ll see you in my dreams with echoes of a time Reaching out to me across the great divide…
12.
Rise Up 04:32
RISE UP Music: Iain Jennings Lyrics and vocal melodies: Iain Jennings/Marc Atkinson When it all falls down can you reach for higher ground When the wolves call round will you lift your brother up Can you lift each other up Rise up people... When it all falls down can you reach for higher ground When the wolves call round will you lift your brother up When it all falls down can you reach for higher ground When the wolves call round will you lift your brother up Can you lift each other up Darkness approaching… Confusion is reigning... Each one for themselves is the doctrine they’re teaching… So can we raise our hands then lift up our hearts And share the same voice So can we raise our hands then lift up our hearts And make the right choice When it all falls down can you reach for higher ground When the wolves call round will you lift your brother up When it all falls down can you reach for higher ground When the wolves call round will you lift your brother up Can you lift each other up Rise up people… Darkness approaching… Confusion is reigning... Thinking… Deciding... So can we raise our hands then lift up our hearts And share the same voice So can we raise our hands then lift up our hearts And make the right choice When it all falls down can you reach for higher ground When the wolves call round will you lift your brother up Can you lift each other up
13.
DON’T LET IT END LIKE THIS Music: Iain Jennings Lyrics and vocal melodies: Marc Atkinson Where did all this pain come from? That’s what I want to know It arrived out of nowhere There seems no end to its flow Can’t always blame other people Sometimes we’ve only ourselves to blame We’ve knocked over the pieces No one’s won this game… Please can you dry your eyes And don’t cry any more Please can we just talk it over Don’t let it end like this Don’t let it end like this Now it’s time to sort this out And put all that hurt away There’s no need to be angry We both can have our own say You know I’m not here to hurt you I’m just wanting to see you smile So can you bring down the wall now I’ll make it worth your while… Please can you dry your eyes And don’t cry any more Please can we just talk it over Don’t let it end like this Don’t let it end like this
