BINARY TIDE
We gotta get out of here
Escape the danger zone
Too many spying eyes
It seems we're not alone
We have to ride this storm
Into the great unknown
Too many risks exist
Inside the megadome
I have to take you
To a place we've never been
A place of peril where the sights
Should not be seen
Away from here
Into the Night
That awful place
Will feed your fright
----
A place that if you stay too long
The skin falls from your back
We gotta move quickly
That's our angle of attack
The Evil One will send an army
Must get many clicks away
There's still survivors out there
At least that's what they say
We have to meet up with them
If we want to stay alive
It may be our last hope
If we want to still survive
Away from here
To certain death?
It mustn't be
Our final breath
SOURCE CODE
One heart beating
One heart missing
My heart knowing the truth
One heart feeling
One heart slowing
My heart fearing the worst
One heart hurting
One heart cooling
My heart aching inside
One heart numbing
One heart gone now
My heart seething with rage

THE OUTLANDS
In the Outlands
All alone
Desolation
Mind is blown
Those before
Move no more
Flesh and bone
Cold as stone
Moving outwards
From the only place we know
Into the embers
Of a dying glow
Two lost beings
In this wilderness of hate
Leaving justice
To the hands of fate
Leaving those we love
To a chilling, bitter end
An evil torture
That they can't defend
As we look back
There seems to be no hope
Descending downwards
On a fiery slope
---
The sky is crackling with
A deadly afterglow
With no protection
Then that death's not slow
I gaze around me
But there is no hint of life
The shattered remnants of
a former strife
The painful memory
Leaves a sharp and vengeful sting
A closing door on what
The future brings
A heart of hatred
Won't bring them back to life
A soul cut open
With an icy knife
---
The memories fade away
A sad reminder of a distant day
The memories fade away
They fade away
Fade away
Fade away
---
In the distance
A shimmering light
Does it give us hope?
---
Looking backwards
To that place that once was home
My Father
Still inside the danger zone
A living nightmare
Where little love is shown
A former dynasty
Now overthrown
The scattered pages
Of a book so burnt and torn
No ray of hope
No words alert or warn
The cries and anguish
Of families torn apart
Must steel my soul
And listen to my heart.
Flesh and bone
Cold as stone
Just flesh and bone

THE MEETING
A group of beings
Throng in front of us
with alien movement so obscure
The firelight shadows
Dancing on the walls
Take on a strange allure
The first approaches
with an offering
An offering of peace
A grateful clasp
A heart befriended
A moment of release
A hand of help?
A hand of innocence?
A ray of light?
A ray of hope?
Can this be real?
Can we be free?
You and me
Can this array of inhumanity
Truly hold the key?
Do they provide
The answers to our prayers?
A hope for you and me?
So many questions
So much we do not know
As we move into the night
So much to do
No peace in sight
For me and you

Hope evaporates
The mind escapes
And leaves you with the fear
Hope evaporates
You'll know what is real

SURFACE TENSION
Holding fear inside us
So much it's hard to breathe
What the fates will bring us
Is so hard to see
As we move our destiny
Falters far beneath
Moving deep into the night
The silence lingers on
No sight of sudden lightning for
The road we're now upon
As we move the dangers
Come swiftly into view
Entering the fortress
The static starts to flow
Charging hearts with fortitude
That lights an inner glow
As we move a Judas Kiss
Hands out the final blow

BETRAYAL
Verse 1
We find ourselves in different streams
You've thrown away our past
A million unrequited dreams
Built to last
Shadows of another life
Fade into the night
Now I finally come to see
We've lost sight
Oh, Did we ever know ourselves?
Were we ever close?
Could another twist of fate
Change the path you chose?
Could we ever come to see?
Was there any hope?
Instead all the fallacy
Losing hope
Chorus
Breathing in, Breathing out
Never ever had a doubt
But our brotherly love
Could have failed
Breathing out, breathing in
All the anger from within
Can't erase, in a daze
of betrayal
Verse 2
You wanted just a little more
You took instead of gave
You broke apart my grieving core
Now a slave
To all the darkness coming soon
You've let the demon in
Proved that you are not immune
To that sin
Oh, Did we ever realise?
Were we unaware?
Could we drift so far away
That we didn't care
Could another place and time?
Mean a different song?
Give a reason to the rhyme and
Right the wrong
Chorus
Breathing in, Breathing out
I just want to scream and shout
Cos our brotherly love
Has now failed
Breathing out, breathing in
I can't face the place we're in
Can't erase, in a daze
of betrayal
Chorus
Breathing in, Breathing out
As you let your anger out
So our brotherly love
Has now failed
Breathing out, breathing in
All the love that's held within
Can't erase, in a daze
of betrayal
Verse 3
Now we're both on different sides
Now we're wrenched apart
So I feel the icyness
Of your heart
Still hopeful of a different tune
To this song we sing
A losing of this aching heart's
bitter sting
Oh, will there ever be a time?
Will we ever see?
Those heady heights that we once climbed
Hope for you and me?
Will it ever come to pass
A cooling of the coals
A welcome in a warming heart?
Kindred souls
Chorus
Breathing in, Breathing out
Now I see the hidden doubt
That our brotherly love
Has all failed
Breathing out, breathing in
All the anger from within
Can't erase, in a daze
of betrayal
Breathing in, Breathing out
I just want to scream and shout
Cos our brotherly love
Has now failed
Breathing out, breathing in
an't face the state we're in
Can't erase, in a daze
of betrayal

INQUISITION
Verse 1
No one knows
Which way the wind blows
I can see
Dark shapes around me
You've got me
Where you want me
It chills me to the bone
The pain that you're inflicting
leaves a subtle undertone
You plug the wire in
and you pump the ego out
The fluid is inside me…
Chorus
I look around me
Oh the sights I see
Yes the sights I see
I look around me
OOOoooh
I look around me
All the fight in me
There's no fight in me
I look around me
Verse 2
Rows and rows
Their yellow eyes glow
I can't see
My gaze all misty
I'm numbing, succumbing
To a greater power
The strumming, the humming
Louder by the hour
You push the liquid in
And you pump my senses out
The evil is inside me…
Chorus
I look around me
Oh the sights I see
Yes the sights I see
I look around me
OOOoooh
I look around me
There is no one free
It's so hard to see
I look around me
Verse 3
No one knows
Which way the wind blows
Now I see
Those shapes all join me
You've got me
Where you want me
It chills me to the bone
The pain that you're inflicting
leaves a subtle undertone
You plug the wire in
and you pump the ego out
The hatred is inside me…
Chorus
I look around me
Oh the sights I see
Yes the sights I see
I look around me
OOOoooh
I look around me
There is no one free
It's so hard to see
I look around me
OOOoooh
I look around me
Oh the sights I see
Yes the sights I see
I look around me
OOOoooh
I look around me
There is no one free
It's so hard to see
I look around me
OOOoooh
I look around me
Oh the sights I see
Yes the sights I see
I look around me
OOOoooh
I look around me
There is no one free
It's so hard to see
I look around me
OOOoooh
I look around me
Oh the sights I see
Yes the sights I see
I look around me
OOOoooh
I look around me
There is no one free
It's so hard to see
I look around me

THE GREAT HYPNAGOGIC STATE
When heart and mind are working overtime
Your thoughts are blurred and hard to see
When your sense of touch is so sublime
Just let your inner core be free
A lessening of everything you know
Of everything that is secure
The letting out of all your innocence
The cleaning of a soul that's pure
You're in the hypnagogic state
The Hypnagogic state

END OF DAZE?
As I finally lose my liberty
And let loose my inner glow
You bury my humanity
I reap what you now sow
You hold my future in your hands
A place of dark and fear
An asylum of insanity
My time is drawing near
Ido: Is this the end of daze?

BBT are standard bearers for modern prog, with a sound that evokes the spirit of those legendary 70s bands whilst managing to also be thoroughly contemporary. It's astonishing that over 30 minutes of music of this quality, with such high production values, is being made available for free - and their full albums are also very reasonably priced...
