Lyrics

oh fantastic dreamer
show… me what is really inside this third eye
the light that glimmers
glows… like a far distant star in the night
dualistic beamer…
knows… no one ever escapes here alive

try to ascend among the mice and men
conflicted nations… donkeys and elephants
oh fantastic dreamer
show… me what it takes to awake and survive

invoke all your strength and come back to me
the future’s uncertain… it will always be
no……………! do not deceive
cause the karma you make is your enemy
pure love has a cleansing effect on the self… but your say you have so much to do

like… rise and shine in the nick of time…check your face and your state of mind
scurry about then out the door… take your place in the big what for
tell yourself behind the wheel… on your way to cement the deal
you love the money…. and what it do… ooh… for you

buy a big house and a fancy car… all the underpinnings a celebrity star
take a little lady any day if you could
paid a pretty penny boy she better be good
you love the honey… and what she do… ooh… to you

take a break… slow the breath…. sit now still boy you need a rest
ask yourself if you’re in denial… who the master… who the child
everybody plays with the evil ways and depending on the karma of the good old days
there’s a struggle with the subtle but if you don’t mind
you can inch away above it’s a matter of time
you dream what in me… not what i do
ah… but it’s for you… hey hey
when light is beaming… this scenery… who’s beaming me?

mother will you love me… always and again
was no surprise… she rolled her eyes
and probably new what I would do when I was through

father can you help me… now and at the end
he took one look and closed the book!

 

SINFOMUSIC (Spain) - May 2011
es una pieza que podría entrar en el plan de estudios de un master en música progresiva. La estructura de esta maravilla no puede ser más variopinta, muy cambiante, con diferentes cortes de potente paso y rica diversidad de matices. El señor de las mezclas se merece un 10.

a piece that could go into the curriculum of a Master of Progressive music. The structure of this wonder could not be more varied, rapidly changing, with different cuts of powerful step and a rich diversity of nuances.
 
PROGNOSIS (Portugal) - May 2011
another one of the stand-out songs here. The immaculate positivism in which it starts, the many changes and the extremely well composed architecture do fulfil the listener’s expectations, and the awesome inclusion of some Primus reminiscences by the end of the track is the cherry on top of the cake. Just before that another of those brilliant changes of pace offer us the possibility of meeting the faster and most neo progressive side of TCP.
