LYRICS for PART 1:

Steel in the skies and the road,
somehow traveling far.
Chasing a dream of the west
made with iron and stone.

These are old hills that stand in the way
breaking the line.
It came out of the storm,
out of the sea
to the permanent way
Using just available light,
he could still see far.

Deep in the heart of the land
breaking through the old stone.
Chasing the trail of the water
down through underground streams.

Working the way through the valleys and fields,
grass grown hills and stone.
Parting the land
with the mark of man,
the permanent way,
Using just available light,
he could still see far skies,
deep time.

These are old places stood in the way.
Low cloud comes to ground.
The gray and the green and the bold and the brave
on the permanent way.
Using just available light,
he could still see far.
Using just available light,
he could still see far.

Twelve stones from the water
continents apart
the clouds are gathering again,
filling up the sky,
it rains on England.

Roofless engine houses
distant hills like bookends
frame electrical storms
moving out to sea
away from England.

Those days have gone, those days...
Those days have gone,
their names are lost
the stories left untold.
Under an ordinary star
we are just moments of time,
it is the end of the line
this place is worked out.

Those days have gone.
their names are lost
the stories left untold.

A fault line opens in the ground
waves make their way to the shore,
this is the end of the line,
time worn and broken.

These things have faded with the light
few know the stories now,
this is the end of the line,
time worn and broken.

I was just introduced to this song last weekend, and have been listening to it constantly since. REALLY good musicianship and writing here; really atmospheric, even emotional at some points. The lyrics are so beautiful, and it's equally beautiful how the music backs them. I hear a lot of Pink Floyd in this song too, but these guys definitely have their own unique sound and texture. When music is this great, it doesn't get old.

[MawcDrums]

@beanDudeofBeanbean Totally agree. I'll be uploading another (equally amazing) epic at some point soon from their new EP Far Skies Deep Time, stay tuned!

Just found this song in another video, great stuff! Really like it, it's the dark side of progressive rock I've searched for so long

This song was for humanity to hear today; for its depth is 'wheling + magnificent Masterfully played by this band. I do want to research the meaning behinds its creator of the lyrics; I am in awe.at their depth + seems to resonate what is going on right now with a mass awakening of beings using Musicians of every Genre' + artistic expressions; "The Total Sound Resonance" is what is being used; creations sent to all musicians that are listening to the tunes within their beings. POWERFUL 5*'s ++

AWESOME!!! I'm looking for an upload of "Kingmaker". It may be too long of a song for youtube though. Great post, thanks!

[SpriteBat]

The music is incredible! Vocal melodies could be a bit more catchy, but I guess I can't complain.

[beanDudeofBeanbean]

@MawcDrums all right; I'll sub so I don't forget! :>)
