Post by: Stoney on March 07, 2010, 05:48:54 AM

Hi Guys
Well this one has taken the longest so far..(15 Months) but the end result is well worth it ..We have taking lead vocal on this with Billy and me adding the chorus backing...we even have Cas making an appearance on vocal with her mystic mermaid intro/outro. J has put some stunning keys together and I love his subtle key inst towards the end...Billy's guitar is read hot as always.....anyway I hope you enjoy it

In Search of True Reality (Lyrics by Casia,Andy and Stonehead)

(Poetic Introduction)
Though men go mad they shall be saved
Though lovers be lost, love shall not
Time is a pebble on a distant shore
For those who sleep through pleasure's storm

(V1)
Once upon a time in a distant plane
Did the fortress of your heart reside
Sailing on a sea of antiquity
In search of the truth you hide

We spent many stygian days and nights
Now we flounder on the rocks
Where the sands of time flow backwards
Confounding ancient clocks

(Bridge/Chorus)
Seeking out truth or reality
The Achilles of my desire
Bathing in the glow of a sun so pale
Chasing my shadow through an unknown paradise

Solo

(V2)
Stuck in the middle of a timeless web
And our voyage has been damned
Lost in the search for eternal dawn
At the mercy of the wave of your hand

Will the winds of change guide us home
Will exhaustion take us down
Will all the love that we thought we knew
Be left to forever drown

(Bridge/Chorus)
Seeking out truth or reality
To quench this inner fire
Caught up in the heat of a cosmic race
Chasing my shadow through an unknown paradise

End solo

Well Stoney,

This one started it all didnt it?

Quite a collaborative effort too, three of us on lyrics, four of us on vocal evidence, super guitars by Billy, heavenly keys lines and solo from J, wrapped in your solid drumming and production!!

It was cool to be part of this one!

And an ape whenever you get the chance :)

Cheers
Andy

Yeah Billy's ripped it up on guitar...but I thought J played a blinder at the breakdown..love that part. The drumming is not too shabby either:).
