about

A suite in six parts, a futuristic fable - where dying dementia patients are sold a dream of life in the future frozen in an isolated cryogenic facility, only to be discovered millennia later by a spacefaring generation ship!

lyrics

i: The Dreamers
In corridors of polished steel
Whisper of arcane machinery
And in the quiet and the cold
Unseen the travellers unknown
In their rage they had not world enough or time
They cast their lot upon a leap into the dark
Sold to the future in the still of frozen death
They realise, astounded
That they
Dream

ii: To Live Again
Strange, is it not?
That of the myriads who before us
Pass'd the Door of Darkness through,
Not one returns to tell us of The Road
Which, to discover, we must travel too
(Omar Khayam)

Exhausted by your past
But scared of what's to come
We can show a future you'll desire
A time of miracles
A multitude of choice
When Science guarantees
The de-animated will revive

Fear - Pain - Alone - Dead
FEAR

Now that you have seen all we can provide
Saw the story of a brand new life
Leaving all your woes, rebirth in a new world
Cleansed of all your suffering to live again

iii: Oblivion Therapy
Stay here with me
If you want it to be
The way it looks on TV
Caring and kind, with a beautiful view
Oblivion therapy
We come to the end of a perfect disease
It's wiping my thoughts
And I can't decide if they're eager to please
Or simply distraught
I can't say, I don't know where we are anymore
I don't know, I can't say who you are anymore
The door is ajar, and they're waiting for me
Now it's the time for goodbyes
Loving and loss, the same in the end
Merely the agents of time
Maybe we'll find as the sleep closes in
And darkness divides
Maybe that day I'll wait for my friends
We'll meet one more time

iv: Sad Echo
The shadow falls in silent sleep
Divided now, the watchers weep
Released from time
The hidden journey can begin
Slowly the traveller finds
The hidden rooms within
Corridors revealed at once
Familiar and strange
Lucid dreams of memories just out of reach
All our time has gone

And so the days flow on and on
Childhood and the end become as one
Pieces of the past appear like figures in the mist
Faces half remembered and the scent of secret kiss
Colour drained to grey, sad echo of a life
Clutching at the fear inside you can't believe that
All our time has gone

v: Arecobo Calling
We were moving for generations before we came to you
Our origin just a legend our fathers' fathers knew
Then we heard your call
And we came to find
Seeking brotherhood
Against the night
Here we are
A bridge across the void
From world to world
Can you hear our call?
Hear our call!

vi: Let Them Sleep
In orbit round this empty world
Ancient desolation
You promised us hope
We searched for you there
And found only this sad mausoleum
Impossible act of faith
To win in a game with Death
But we have tried so many ways and know
There can never be a day to live again
So now our journey must go on
We'll follow where your race has gone
We leave you to your dreams
You have eternity
Dreamers, farewell
Let them sleep
