It’s safe here on Mars. I feel better since I left Earth, there was so much noise, hate, violence, war… it just overshadowed everything else.
But I still miss her though.
It’s strange, 'cause time is not the same for me, we’re still together and at the same time, we’re not. I shouldn’t feel so blue, I always knew it would end, that I would disappoint her, make her cry… but it’s the way it goes.
That guy really messed with my mind, he was able to hide from my perception and I just couldn’t stop his crazy plan… as a result millions died.
But here’s the thing, is earth much better or worse now? Will something ever stop them from killing themselves? Isn’t self extermination their ultimate fate?
Honestly, from here it looks quite the same… I’m confused, I’m sick and I'm tired of getting trapped up in their tangled lives.
To be continued…
lyrics
October 85’
First time tears on Mars, I’ve made you cry
Blame me, it’s my fault. I saw the trouble come, but I couldn’t make it right
Smashed all together upside down, messed up an obfuscated sight
No longer part, of this world, I’m peril, love as though I might
I'm sick
And I'm tired
So isolated from human life
My last connection was just a ghost
It was a spectre of love
Now I am frozen, I’m alone
All that's happening is all that’s gone
What was a minimum glimpse of hope
Became a spectre of love
Your mind perceives only what it seems that you’re feeling for a while
But I can see what I’ve seen and I see what I’m seeing all the time
Cosmic level no one cares when humans kill themselves
Won’t intercede, won’t get trapped up, in their tangled lives
The most intelligent man, in all this land, to me is a termite
Look up at empty Mars, you’ll see its rocks and dust are fine
I’ve seen dust give birth to stars
Human life or death overshadowed by far
In all this infinite space and time
To lose a life on earth isn't much of a crime
I'm sick and I'm tired
So isolated from human life
My last connection was just a ghost
It was a spectre of love
Now I’m frozen, I’m alone
All that's happening is all that’s gone
What was a minimum glimpse of hope
Became a spectre of love

I fell in love with their newer album, so i decided to get this one as well, and I do thank my greed for awesome NWOTHM for this good choice! I mean it's great music like Crimson Glory and Judas Priest, with very talented guitar players, and a very high-pitched vocals à la Helloween and Whitesnake and IMHO really cool lyrics. Really enjoy WoS and can't wait to see them live on stage!!! sachavonkarl74

This is the best band that carries the spirit of Slough Feg onwards while at the same time offering a more sophisticated approach to composition than nearly every other band in the genre. Truly this is heavy/epic metal 2.0 John Aktypis
