Track 8 from the album The Lightmaker
lyrics
I spent my life building
To fill, to fill
Like an irrational fear of the void
To fill, to fill
But is all this real?
What will remain when I'm gone?
But is all this real?
What will remain when I'm gone?
Feelings
Illusions
Truth
Meanings
Delusions
Aren't we all the same?
Are we so different in the end?
In our nature, our being, and our dreams
Through our tears
We are the builders of hopes
The traders of fears
When the blade of anguish comes too close to our dreams
We become as fragile as a lonely heart
Being careful not to cut ourselves
But aren't we missing things?
Don't we miss life?
A mystery box
Floating on the violent shores of life
Overwhelmed by waves of feelings
Still carrying our message
Towards the land in sight
Everything I've built you can destroy
Or make it your own
Would you like to come with me?
Join me for a waltz
In the whirlwind of the life
I built, create
I locked myself up
Safe in these ramparts of lies
I locked myself up
I lay the foundations of a meaningless existence
To furnish your life
But at the end
What will remain?
I spent my life building, filling
Like an irrational fear of the void
But is all this real?
What will remain when I'm gone?
Feelings
Illusions
Truth
Meanings
Delusions
Aren't we all the same?
Are we so different in the end?
Why give us the ability to feel
If life has no meaning?
Why have emotions
Inside waves of absurdity?

Soothfully a phenomenal prog rock album—an instant classic. What motivates me to say so, is the music’s incredible expressiveness & its wonderfully cinematic song structures. Jargon is a very good fit with this band. It is quite evident that the band’s current lineup have great chemistry together & that they share a common affinity to this vein of music. I look forward to their next creation. Drifting Sun are definitely one of prog rock’s brightest lights. Thank you, DS!

From the first to the last note, this is a highly accomplished offering. Moving through various themes and movements, the songs on the album lead us by the hand of fate from heartbreak, through despair, and onwards to eventual hope, acceptance and redemption. Charlie Bramald’s lyrics and delivery are a masterclass in performance, all ably backed up by consummate and confident musicianmanship from the band members. Highly recommended. Dean Thom

Wow! What a great album. Lots of great songs and great production. Some impressive guests as well like Jon Davison and Billy Sherwood of Yes. This album should be in every prog rock lovers collection. marcusalmightygemineye
