lyrics

Morning comes earlier each day
Summer turns colder as autumn falls
Darkness and daylight fade into gray
Shadows that haunt prison walls

They say time is a healer but time sealed your fate
You walk with the lonely and live with the hate
You need to rehearse but now the curtain is up
And God knows the show must go on

Oh, oh, oh
Escape
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Escape

Once you were young and you dreamed of the stars
Lighting the holes in the summer sky
Racing the wind with your best avatars
Blind to the time rushing by

Slowly gravity pulled you on down from the sky
You found that your wings were too heavy to fly
You built up the walls to lock the daydreams away
And lost yourself in the maze

Oh, oh, oh
Escape
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Escape
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Morning comes earlier each day
All dreams are fading as winter calls
Starlight and shadows take you away
Shapes on the old prison wall

They’re hanging up Jesus in a motel room
Some old velvet pictures, the sun and the moon
The cigarette smoke is hanging stale in the air
And God knows the show must go on

Oh, oh, oh
Escape ...

Common Ground

The album takes off nicely with David Longdon's "The Strangest Times", but then gets into immediate free fall and deeply underwater for the next few tracks, quite unexpectedly. Fortunately, it recovers with Nick D'Virgilio's "Apollo" (hey, this guy CAN write good music, although he hides this ability most of the time) and the remaining three tracks, one of which is another Longdon masterpiece. So in the end the final impression is somewhat in the positive range. Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)
