This live track is a raw celebration of progressive rock, featuring a wall of sound, dropped tunings and lots of atmosphere.
lyrics
In need of change
If not for you
I’d be home
I'll run away
From this life
Cos I'm tired
This detour
Is taking longer
Than I thought it would
Are we lost here
I want excuses
To tell my rivals
No justification
For your arrival
It comes as the wind blows
Unknown but familiar
I’ll take all you give to me
On my terms, we’ll never make it
In Arcadia
You’ve my respect and awe
And now we’re here I
Can see so much more
Than you ever let me see
All the lessons that I’ve learned
Forever will be
Broken on my return
When we’re stuck in the quickest sand
With the sabre tooth tigers and
Your other fools and followers
Heeding your words
You make me feel myself when your come over
Or you might just be the best I know and
You’ll see what I mean, in a few years when it’s done and
All of us in between, here and there are gone
Make me disappear
In Arcadia
End the call
Missing time
Under weight
Over bridges too hard to
Climb, make amends
Cover up, all of the same misfortune
Arcadia me
Up in the air
For Eternity
In the atmosphere
Maybe I’m here for a different context in
If all that I’ve had brings me closer to Elysium
I’m still awake, but you wont
Let me sleep
Forever more in
Arcadia
My promised land I
I’ll take my dreams
Over your reality
We forever will be
Jealous of your mortality
In Arcadia.
