Sweet outline moving into view
Visions of alluring beauty
Time standing still out of respect
While deep regret takes hold again
Elegant lines and lush contours
Burning brighter as the world slips into shade
Magnetic display
Eyes try to turn away
The walls of this fortress are crashing down
There's no point in trying to find a way out
Nor is it a case of where to assign the blame
After all we're only human
Lost in confusion
Completely at the mercy of what we sow
Like a joke without a punchline
Still playing games that end in tears
And participating in those fruitless endeavours
Reassessing, looking to improve
What a foolish move
For there was never any lesson here to be learned
Hey baby, won't you come sit with me?
I wanna try and get us on the same page
But it all comes out as some bizarre language
That just offends and condescends
There's so much to be said for saying nothing at all
I've got to try and curb these aspirations
And stick to my limitations
Employing methods used countless times before
And will forever more
Heartbeats relentlessly counting down to the end
And then find you're back at the start
Left up on the shelf gathering dust, acquiring rust and getting bent out of shape
Promising prospects are here again
Investing heavily in reoccurring pipe dreams
So roll that die and say goodbye
To your precious security
Reigniting old fires that have burned their way through
Skin and bone, oh the danger's known
But it's so alluring and captivating
Slowing down to a more familiar pace
There's no shame from adopting an easier stride
A group that I know only too well, I’ve been with them for nearly 30 years; from their Glaswegian basement origins to their current status as Arena band. My enthusiasm for their later output may have tempered somewhat as the mighty ‘Gwai evolved their sound to avoid pigeonholing, but there is nothing better than when they lay waste to a venue via the sheer euphoria of ‘Helicon 1’. They’re still devastating live and, after all those years, THE authority in Instrumental Rock music. Logen Ninefingers
