You once lost yourself
Into radiance
Lights above your head
Never let you down
Waiting for truth to come and seize the best of you
You have submitted your life to the stars
She proposed to you
The timing wasn't right
Searching an answer in comets and satellites
She left your side without any regret
Lights have faded out
And so have my doubts
Countless letters sent
Life seems meaningless
But suddenly your eyes gaze at a star
Equations you made predicted this movement afar
I am waiting for the sky
It must mean that
We should doubt this wall of light
I am waiting for the night
Shivers at the fear that
Stars do die
She searched for the sun
Is that why she's gone?
Doesn't make no sense
Night and day unite
I will stop to wait for my
Perfect star tonight
'Cause there should be no light
I will stop to look for my
Perfect star 'til I
Accept that stars do lie
Stars do lie, and so do I
I have lost my mind
The star didn't show
Now all I have left
Is this life to throw?
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!

As a fan of the golden age of progressive music (Yes, Genesis, ELP, Crimson, Floyd, etc.) seeking newer bands, this album checks off more than a few sub-genres. The sum is greater than the parts although the parts are very good. It flows well from start to finish. progging_forgold
