lyrics

Walkways and lights
Secrets and lies
Another image they own
Whatever they take
They take from you
And you alone
Immortal and fake
Applause pours down

You lose yourself to the mirror that sines
Again and again they worship you
You lose yourself to the mirror that shines
They worship you then say goodbye

Betrayal of trust
Par for the course
Falling down
The white rabbits hole
No fortune or fate
No hands that guides
No way to see
Behind your eyes

You lose yourself to the mirror that sines
Again and again they worship you
You lose yourself to the mirror that shines
They worship you then say goodbye

about

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

Forsaken Innocence
by Drifting Sun

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! 9+/10. Alrihkh

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...
