Fates Warning - Static Acts

One of the best songs of the progressive metal band Fates Warning, taken from Perfect Symmetry album.

Line-up :

Ray Alder - Vocals
Frank Aresti - Guitar
Jim Matheos - Guitar
Joe DiBiase - Bass
Mark Zonder - Drums

Lyrics :

Air currents grind, monotony.
Image defined, static scene.
Adherents bent opinionless
following scent of commoness.

Fit the latest rage,
whatever stains the page.
Then fears allayed,
of lonely shade.

Wheels, they grind...industry.
Insipid finds, out of key.
Opinions bent toward standard waves,
bleaching out divergent shades.

Mock integrity.
Veiled hypocrisy.
Ironic finds,
when selves decried.

Ban expressiveness.
Bold repressiveness
dictated by minds closed tight
and walls that shut out light,
and so we have static acts.

The very exact definition of Progressive-Rock-metal(call it whatever you like)..Noone else can match those guys in that...they are so far away..they make dream theater look like a bunch of crap..(forgive me..its the truth)...!!!!
