All Gods Toys
What we gonna do?
When He tires of all
The shitty things we put each other through
When He tires of those who
Push each other over
Whilst they’re playing who fucks who?
What we gonna do?
When he tires of the way we spin
And blocks the paths we choose
When He lifts away the sun
Takes away the source of life
And lets the darkness come
No-one to cry
No-one to cry
But the bird in the cage
Pull the bars out one by one in rage
No-one to cry
But the bird in the cage
No-one to cry
How are we gonna be?
When it’s blacker down here than the oil
And it’s all we’ll ever see
When there’s nothing left to hear
No waves to beat upon the shore
And charge this atmosphere
As we do our best to breathe
Suck upon this liquid air
That brings us to our knees
As we curl into a ball
And realise that truth be known
We really are this small
No-one to cry
Chorus
When the lands we stand on freeze
We all Freeze
When the seas around us freeze
We all freeze
No-one to cry
Chorus

Over and over and over again
And around and around til we get to the end
Going nowhere
Arriving on time.
Ever descending the circular track
Going further away, and he’s not going back
To the centre
To a centred place.
He wonders if this is as long as it took
He feels it his duty to stop and to look
For the answers
To question time
Ask why all the hurry, and why all the fuss
Is it really the case there should be such a rush
Just for being
Day to day
I must have missed a chapter
Skipped a page
Where everything descended into rage
I never saw it come to this at all
But suddenly I’m standing at this door
However, wherever, although and therefore
All randomly placed in a line on a wall
As he reads them
He fills with sleep
Given and taken, forward and on
Relentlessly move to the heart of the sun
Places changing
People change
I must have missed a chapter
Skipped a page
Where everything descended into rage
I never saw it come to this at all
But suddenly I’m standing at this door
So much you could say about William
But no-one ever has
If you just cast aside the sad soul that is leaking
You find the boy, too fearful of being a man
So much you could see within William
But no-one ever looked
If you just look beyond the pale face that beseeches
You find the lost, who will never be one who can
So much you could do about William
But no-one thought to try
If you just put aside your initial confusion
You find the deep, who creates the illusion of high

the waiting room
Justify that need to please
Giving you a public scene
Lost yourself to all their dreams
And they strip the person
I’m sitting here, too tired to move
Can’t you move me like you used to do
Come to life, I‘ll talk to you
And wait for your reply
And as the memories of this fail
Applause exalts you as you walk away
You change yourself a little everyday
Just because you can
Slowly as the words come in
Anticipating everything
I read the lines and I begin
To hope you’re thinking of me
So detached and so disturbed
I want to sooth your every word
You sit within your cell unheard
Delicate and dying
And as the memories of this fail
Applause exalts you as you walk away
You change yourself a little everyday
Just because you can
Feel it’s like a waiting room
Waiting here to come to you
I try to think of things to do
To distract my conscience
I look around, but I’m alone
Nothing here but light and stone
I want to drag my body home
But still, I’m last in line

Parade of Souls
I am a singularity
So full of possibilities
So new
So stained with popularity
So what was expected of me
By few
I am a singularity
I am a reformation
Encouraged to reaction by few
So full of abstraction
So blind with compassion
So new
I am a singularity
I am destiny, I am fate
I am the rich man who is giving at you gate
I offer you nothing, I offer you all
I can give you the key
Or show you the door
I am a singularity
I am all that there is of me
I am a singularity

The Thirteenth Bell
The burn of the suns
Just beyond the furthest reaches
The intimate one
Is close but outside
A mist in the night
The distance left undefeated
The absence of light
I’m close but I’m breaking
Reading a book with pages gone
A flame in the winter
A stranger to kiss, the flower and gun
A scream to a whisper
The end to a story left to tell
From beginning to ending
All of my dreams are here to sell
When I hear the thirteenth bell
The fracturing sky
Is star filled and monumental
A flickering light
Delivering fear
Abstract and defined
Defining the self awareness
The punishing truth
Is the knowledge of failure
Reading a book with pages gone
A flame in the winter
A stranger to kiss, the flower and gun
A scream to a whisper
The end to a story left to tell
From beginning to ending
All of my dreams are here to sell
When I hear the thirteenth bell
The light breaks through the window pane
Nothing stirs in her domain
The walls give nothing away but faded colour
Down below poor William is alone
Lost among the songs that he calls home
Deep in thought he's unaware
That Cassandra dreams and hides upstairs

25 Yard Screamer Carmarthen, UK
Formed in 2002 it was the release of 2007's Cassandra that really pushed 25 Yard Screamer in the light of the prog scene. Signing to WhiteKnight with whom they have released their last 5 albums, has pushed the band further into the 'Prog' world and led to tours with label mates 'Last Flight To Pluto' and appearances with KScope artists 'Godsticks'. ... more

supported by 15 fans who also own “Until All Are One”
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...

Avec la fin de mon adolescence et de ce fait la fin des années glorieuses du 'prog' jamais je n'aurai cru être de nouveau comblé par cette poésie, cette harmonie et cette musicalité qui sont la quintessence de BBT qui redonne au rock progressif ses lettres de noblesse...Merci
