lyrics

6am and I'm alone again
In a bed in a Northern town
The sun's coming up, and I'm feeling rough
And I'm coming down

It's always morning somewhere
The sun will always rise
But when the sun goes down, will I turn around
And wake up beside you?

I'm wired for the speed of sound
I die if I stay on the ground
I live in undiscovered lands
And shifting sands

Do I do what I always do?
Or try to be something new?
Be the man of experience
Or the boy that never grew?

I'm wired for the speed of sound
I die if I stay on the ground
I live in undiscovered lands
And shifting sands of you

Fragile right from the start
One mistake and we fell apart
Nothing to say, nowhere to go
So... on with show

6am and I'm alone again
In a bed in a Northern town
The sun's coming up, and I'm feeling rough
And I'm coming down

I'm wired for the speed of sound
I die if I stay on the ground
I live in undiscovered lands
And shifting sands

Very FLA-centric though Cevin’s contributions do shine brightly as well. A worthy successor to the much more minimal Tenebrae Vision, and one of the best albums in the genre so far this year. Jean-Paul DuQuette
