Hearing the sound you turn in surprise, you are the one
At prophecy scoffed, now reality shocks, the time has come
Alone or en-masse you
Pray to your god, you
Cower in silence, you're
Left to your fate
The great and the good offer tributes, they see a way
Drumbeats are sounding, in flames they are rolling
There's no escape
Left with no choice you
Surrender your voice you
Taking the hand
Resigned to joining the dance
Knowing your place
Finding your place
Taking your place

What Remains ?

You loved me then you loved me not
Long years best forgot
Denying all that came before
All talk of 'us' must stop
Silent fall the chants and songs
Bowing heads to fear
The Dance draws near
Silence spreads 'cross morning land
Sun-setting from the East
Draw you close, a moment's hope
Smiling through the tears
Denial first then all disowned
A Judas kiss this time
Guttering flames, the darkness looms
We recognise the signs
It's here
Darkness here
Horizon moving slowly, bodies sway to a distant drum
Eager crowds, swell with hope, always hold the line
They face us now, faithless and how, now faceless crowds
Cannot meet their gaze
The wraiths around, the lost are found
The burden bends them so, hanging in the dark
All we've known and loved, all the promises we made
Fracturing 'til nothing's left but a silent half-lit cell
Take the hand, take any hand, but where's the hand ?
There's no-one left for you
Just the dance remains
Just the dance remains
Just the dance remains
For souls that sing no more
Days are short, vision fades, horizon lost, behind the flames
Beyond the night, beyond disguise, cloaked in fear, just the beat survives
For souls that sing no more
For souls that sing no more
Only dance
Only dance
For souls that sing no more the dance remains

Hell and High Water
by Napier's Bones
Sharing many of the traits of Vanished Age but with longer and more exploratory tracks. Music drama writ-large

Boldly arriving with stallion mounted confidence, through stubborn defiance, to gut wrenching torment and tender moments of regret, defeat and reflection. Very impressive lead guitar work & wah use, as with all the fx and synth work. Ever impressive vocalised story telling from Nathan & Gordon on synergistic harmony. No track disappoints! From 'Childe' on-wards, is a soul birthing, twisting journey of Napiers goodies, cosmic wormholes & Bonesmen's tracklements. To the Heights!

Alpha-Omega Man

Alpha - Omega man is the kind of progressive rock that inspires me to always strive to improve my own skills in music. Top notch musical performances, great story telling, and just.. freakin' fantastic songs.

Gripping album from The Napier's duo & 'Back in the Fields' we are in more ways than one, with this 'Ouroborus Curse' on humanity! Wonderful soaring synthwork, combined with powerful storytelling & vengeful 'dug in' guitar solos. The Terror marches on, the parasitic class should indeed quiver, as the fallen ancestors wrath is deep & just! Back to Fields the downcast go, this masquerade! Bread, circuses & battle forged Prog !
