Lea: I never told what I’ve ever known before
I kept it under my head
Just a pie in the sky
I distress myself
I feel the time has come to decide
Save my soul
Lea: My dear I will confess my sins today
Concience: Today
Lea: I choose to pray and go astray
Concience: Today
Lea: Oh, shall I follow you this day, please tell
Concience: Your love forever
Lea: I settle down and count to ten
Concience: Again
Lea: To pave the way, to be born again
Concience: Again
Lea: Today, I’ll yield my love to you my child
Zack: Now, do you remember me?
I feel no sympathy for your helplessness
Concience: Powerless
Impossible to change the past
You belonged to me
If I can’t own you now, nobody can
Rage: Nobody can!
Lea: Alone in the dark
Don’t fear my shadow, keep faith
Now the time has come, to run across ourselves
Enjoy the moment,
Can you feel? I’m here
Elinoire: Hello, my familiar stranger
Just talk to me, am I in danger now?
Can’t you hear my call?
I can feel that your warmth is fading
I won’t forget how much love you gave me
Oh feel my fear
Lea: You’re in your fathers heart
Elinoire: So insecure
Lea: Trust in my words
Concience: Now hear
What is said to you
Love: You, will always be bound forever
Full of love
And faith surrounds your minds
Can’t carry on in this way
My load is fading out
Can’t stop the fever now
Spirit: Sailing on the wave
And never look back
You can always trust
It started with Elinoire
The greatest feeling that you’ve ever felt
Arms surrounding her
Won’t lose this day
Do you really weep
I’ll keep an eye on you
The day is fading can’t you see the dawn
Destiny: Died in your arms
Don’t you cry
Take an eye on you
This day is fading see the dawn
Sailing the wave
My dear Elinoire
The greatest feeling that you´ve felt
Died in your Arms
Don’t you cry
Take an eye on you
Can’t stop the fever now
Concience: Can you hear the calling?
Guitar Solo: Martin Schnella
Adam: The doctor told me, there were troubles while the birth
I didn’t understand, I failed to see what he ment
The bleeding was unstoppable, Lea became weak
With deep regret he had to say that Lea even passed away
Rage: Forsake!
Ahhhh!!
Lea: My dear I have confessed my sins this day
Concience: Today
Lea: I choosed to pray and went astray
Concience: Today
Lea: Oh, I have followed you that day, please tell
Concience: Your love forever
Lea: I settled down and counted to ten
Concience: Again
Lea: To pave the way, to be born again
Concience: Again
Lea: Each day, I’ll yield my love to you my child
Spirit: Destinys child!
Destiny: Left all alone!
Spirit: Brought up to life!
Destiny: Eternely!
Spirit: Burden of life!
Destiny: And agony!
Spirit/ Destiny: Save her soul!

What can I say about Big Big Train that I haven’t said before?
This album took a little while to grow on me but by the time I saw it live I was in love with its humongous, over-egged pomposity! They do it all with such passion, excitement and amazing musicianship.
Essential. Crinklechips
Streamlining their post-metal sprawl through a sharper melodic focus, the Scottish juggernauts' third LP is labyrinthine yet approachable. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 25, 2024
Always excited to learn and hear what Alex Lifeson does next and this is a fabulous pivot. And Maiah Wynne is a poetic vocal talent, infusing her performance with complex emotion. More please! Perchance Music & Digital Media (SM)
