No more pain in vain
I can feel it burning
Hey! You’re just insane
You moving picture, you’re not alive
No more, illusions,
Abyss, ahead
Fake smile, assumption
Your life is merging to the end!
He looks at the sky
Fears the horizon
A dark brushstroke
He may not return
He runs and runs in circles
Trying to find a way out
A well known exit Since long ago
Nothing’s for sure, nothing’s certain, but now
Behind the wooden shell awaits…
his(her) life
“Panic, I need to get the hell out of here, this can’t be happening, (…) I know that light doesn’t lie, but – this can’t be for real. (…) I’ll go higher, looking for a so-called peace, outside this haze (…) I-I think I can move.” “I can feel the shades, their ignorance, their indifference, it all turns back on me. Is this a lesson? Is this life? I can’t get the meaning! (…) it’s like the darkness is aware of this state of mind, and somehow (…) this is my dawn, not her dawn.”
The tempest stalks
The final need
To wipe the sky
Covered with tears of deceit
His short journey
Turns into a eternal nightmare
It all turns black Aching black, Deadly black
Nothing’s for sure, nothing’s certain, but now
Once more enslaved by his own…
It must not rain
The purity’s compromised
Will I break the spell?
For an illusion of life
Don’t be me, or feel me,
It wouldn’t be worth it
It must not rain
It wouldn’t be worth it, no
Time is shown, in this cell,
Endless, feared, suppressed,
“I need to get the hell out of here, Free my self for God sake and fly”.
Something’s here don’t let me down
My friend.
Bring me down I don’t have time to
fall again.

To me, "Trip The Life Fantastic" was a must-buy on "Bandcamp Friday" this time. It's one of the few "Drifting Sun" albums not already found in my collection, and an essential one, because it marks the beginning of the prolific collaboration of composer/keyboardist Pat Sanders and lyricist/singer Peter Falconer, which was, in my opinion, the best creative pairing the band ever had.

The Long Island metal band's third album etches arena-sized hooks into their jagged compositions, deftly balancing experimental and poppy inclinations. Bandcamp Album of the Day May 12, 2022

This is a 5-star album. Thanks for such wonderful music. "If it all comes down to you" is my fav and one of the best songs I've ever listened to. juan_andres
