Overhead
With all our friends
The body aches
Will you confess?
Strings are played
Above our souls
And we must not show
That we all know
Greetings ladies and gentlemen
Oh we've been satisfied with them
Until now
Careful with that axe my friend
Separate your soul from the thread
You said
This world by no means will end
The infant blood now shall be shed
These words might offend
You mean we’ll never die?
Don’t we hurt, the world
It’s always going down
They say life is a gift
Nature withers
The world with us is dying out
Dreaming of a world without us
Hell has taken over our world
Did we simply, stop to care for us?
Earth shall shine amongst the others
So why don’t you give up the ghost
Dreaming about us?
Give up the ghost!

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
