A foreign invader on a forgotten shore Are we destined for failure? Are they destined for more? And you can’t help thinking things were better off before...
The bulb of percussion at this fracture in time The violent collisions of divergent lines A warning shot! A line in the sand Humble but they firmly stand against such righteous purpose, the progress of man The risk of discovery The gifts of disease The women and children’s unbearable screams Defending themselves, their homes and their dreams They will not bow to our kings and our queens An ancient civilization ripped apart at the seams WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN? Don’t drift too close Curiosity betrays The sea will reclaim your shallow graves
I love it. Have to agree with still bummed: this packs an emotional punch but rocks hard. I've played this whole album repeatedly over the last week which is unusual for me. Exhilarating, poignant, intelligent, melodic. Robin Ward
