lyrics

The order goes out
To all who survive
Time to make a sacrifice
Time to be alive
Broadcast through the city
Can't escape the sound
No excuse for hiding
The word will get around
No more scathing enemies
No more thought aloud
It's my job to bring them in
It's theirs to turn them down
Feel the pain of laughter
Feel the mocking crowd
Soon we all will join them
Soon we will surround

And you run away from me
Your saving grace
Soon you'll be on your knees
Just the same
Escort the prisoner to
His waiting cell
I am your savoir
To bring you back from Hell

Scars are my secret
They make me who I am
Show what happened in the past
But the future is what I am
No more pain and death
The law states it clear
If only one life is saved
It's worth every tear
Life is about safety
Life is about love
We'll give you lots of both
In an interactive drug
You'll never be alone here
You'll never feel afraid
Your thoughts will be an open book
For the rest of your days

Can't you see its better
This way than before
Conformity means
No crime anymore
There are only a few left
Who survive
I am the hunter
And I own their lives

Progressive Shoegaze? That sounds about right, combining proggy elements with a post-rock feel. A great album that I've been listening to a lot since purchasing it. binomess

BBT are standard bearers for modern prog, with a sound that evokes the spirit of those legendary 70s bands whilst managing to also be thoroughly contemporary. It's astonishing that over 30 minutes of music of this quality, with such high production values, is being made available for free - and their full albums are also very reasonably priced...
