lyrics

We the people have created
A beast of riches and of health
And cower as we watch this creature
Granting power to itself

A world is built from other worlds
Divided unity
What will you do with your hands full
Of humanity?

If ye love wealth more than your freedom
The largest hands will grasp at straws
Elude the eye of their employers
And pass their vague officious laws

The din of progress now surrounds us
The voice of freedom is ignored
Endure the theft of the prodigal fathers
Answer to the pen or to the sword

Our constitution has grown weak
Like a field of dying grass
The eagle’s trampled underfoot
By elephant and ass
The statue’s light begins to fade
And all is vanity
What will you do with your hands full
Of humanity?

This is the most beautiful symphonic progressive music I have heard since I first heard Yes' Magnification nearly 20 years ago. Robert Reed's orchestrations are magnificent, and are very much on par with Trevor Rabin's film scores as well as Larry Groupe's score for Magnification. I am a french horn player, and his soaring horn parts are some of the best I have ever heard. For some reason I could not select Part1: Sacrifice as my favorite track. It is indeed my favorite. luckeydoug1

This US-American band, which owes its contradictory name to a photomontage created by George Logan, is usually compared to "Rush"... well, no, I don't agree... While there are undoubtedly some typical "Rush" chords and sounds, I think the music has much more in common with 80's neo-prog bands like IQ. And just like the latter, those imaginary Scottish elephants don't lose much time with silly riffs and interludes, but get straight to the point in their songs, with much attention to detail. Sven B.
