Another robber of joy is prejudice. But if people really understood why others are the way they are, they'd probably be a lot less judgmental...
lyrics
Feeling justified, charasmatic pride sets his heart in motion
Captured by his grin, she is taken in, captured by emotion
Into the waking wild to lead the herds, trusting in words
Politics and greed, this religious need, hero for an hour
Insubstantial trust, obscenities and lust for a name and power
This radio is wired to transmit, but not receive
Its the world of empty dreams, drifting not quite what it seems
Paint deceit over grief, how deep?
Words are shelter from the storm, build a house to keep me warm
Raging wind, pushing in, how long? how long?
So convincing, very sly, every lie
Joy will give her energy, and slowly disappear

Absolutely hooked on this album from first listen. How rare is that with prog!??? Excellent songwriting and musicianship. Can’t wait to dive into the rest of the collection. Thomas Lock
Proggy Fairy Tales in vein of "Foxtrot & Nursery Chryme" Genesis Classics.
Composition, Instrumental acumen, and Vocalization are all top notch.
An awesome yet nostalgic present day trip in Prog Rock.
Can't wait for Part II! Agent K
