lyrics

He was down on his luck and hopeless
Enough to drown in despair and darkness
Between the bottles and smoke
Felt he was a joke
The cruelest comedy

Dreading his own reflection
Everyday - A stranger without a soul
It's safe to say life's not going my way
But then whose way is it now?

In his time he was strong and handsome
He'd figure it out
No matter what trouble would come
But at the end of the day
Was this aching in all his bones

Dreading his life was ending
Any day - his thoughts were racing so
It took all he had just to get on his knees
His search is over now

I was dust, terrified
Scattered across the ground
Broken up, just waiting for the sound
Of the storm, raging through my life
But it never came, never showed
All I've done, all I owed
Washed away now

She got up
Packed her bags and left there
In a strange twist of fate
Starting over is never too late

Looks like it's always been this way
Everyday - a soul that's lost is found
When the unexpected is all that we need
And finally we see

I was dust, terrified...

Forsaken Innocence

Soothfully a phenomenal prog rock album—an instant classic. What motivates me to say so, is the music’s incredible expressiveness & its wonderfully cinematic song structures. Jargon is a very good fit with this band. It is quite evident that the band’s current lineup have great chemistry together & that they share a common affinity to this vein of music. I look forward to their next creation. Drifting Sun are definitely one of prog rock’s brightest lights. Thank you, DS! 9+/10. Alrihkh

When you like your prog to be more beautiful and/or accessible than prog-proggy, than this is for you! Melodic as hell and yes, Peter Falconer is quite a singer! That wouldn't go half the way without the solid songs of Pat Sanders. A great combination of skills ;-) Carsten Pieper

If someone were to ask me why I love progressive rock, this album would be one of my examples. It's eclectic; it's beautiful; it's sufficiently complex; and its cover art is cool. Soul Doubt does one hell of a great job of reprising the album's themes and building atmosphere and emotion throughout the >100 minute affair. And the cherry on top of it all is that there are no middling or superfluous songs--which is impressive because double albums usually have some amount of filler. Magnifico! Conscire
