In the depths of time, a journey began.
A tale of progress forged by human hands.
From the industrial revolution's birth,
To the dawn of the digital age on Earth.
Steam-powered engines, pierced the veil of night.
Harnessing the force that set machines alight.
Factories emerged belching smoke up high.
As progress danced with dreams beneath the sky.
Oh, the wheels kept turning, the gears aligned,
As mankind sought to shape a world undefined.
Electrons danced in circuits, a brand new frontier,
As the age of electricity drew near.
Telegraph lines hummed with messages of hope,
The swing of innovation's pendulum began to scope.
Transistor's birth brought a digital dawn,
Computers emerged, silicon minds reborn.
Bits and bytes whispered secrets untold,
As technology's grip tightened its hold.
But amongst the wonders, a cautionary sign,
For the path, we led left scars behind.
But progress, oh progress,
A double-edged sword, unveiling wonders,
Tarnishing what we adored,
Cities grew taller swallowing the land.
Progress, oh progress,
Concrete jungles rose burying nature's hand... We demand a better future...
Progress gives us a new way to live, and then we want more.
Progress gives us new desires and new ideas, but we want more.
Wheels kept turning...
My Fellow citizens
After all these difficult times
We deserve to be treated better
We have learned from our errors
We have paid the price with our lives
We deserve a better future
Progress gave us steam power
Progress gave us electric power
Progress will give us calculation power
We will build a better future
For us and the next generation
We demand a better future !
We will get a better future
Even if it twill need hard work
We demand a better future for the sake of the world
Then the siren's call, a relentless chase,
Yet in our haste, we left behind a troubled space.
The Earth, our home, in need of care and grace,
A time to rethink our path, and the future to embrace.
Oh, the wheels kept turning, the gears aligned,
As mankind sought to shape a world undefined.
We led left scars behind.
But progress, oh progress,
A double-edged sword, unveiling wonders,
Tarnishing what we adored,
Cities grew taller swallowing the land.
Progress, oh progress,
As concrete jungles rose burying nature's hand...
The price of progress, a somber heavy sigh.
Fighting for balance and harmony...
With every stride forward, a cost was paid,
Nature's harmony disrupted.
The clock’s hand of progress, a debt unrepaid,
spinning wild and free... blind to consequences.
We couldn't foresee in the shadow of progress,
A truth emerged, environmental tolls, as our planet's cries surged.
The Earth, once vibrant, now faltered and frayed.
Cautionary tale, a debt yet unpaid.
Between human inventions and wars, we want more...
Progress will take us towards a new future.
We don't know where this will take us,
it’s the best way.
We demand a better future for the sake of the world
Wheels are turning...

What’s the point?
What do you have to gain?
Apart from being the first for a futility.
The Science ain’t your goal, no.
Be the first take priority.
If “knowing the world” is your goal.
It's a pretext, don’t fake it.
You want to be the first one.
Conquering a lost place.
Seizing another soil.
It’s a foolish flag race.
You need to be the first one.
You don't care, if people die down there...
In any case, you won't win...
An endless war of ego...
Get lost, in an endless struggle...
for...
Luna...

Neon Dream

Plastic is king, it’s everywhere.
Disposable culture, we do not care.
We take from the Earth with no thought to spare.
The damage is mounting, it’s hard to bear.
We take and take with no thought to give.
Consequences of our actions, we do not live.
This decade is a neon dream.
Bright and flashy as a laser beam.
The world’s our playground, so it seems.
Blinded, we are living a dream.
We don’t know, we don’t see,
Our actions cause such spree.
Thought a few souls sound the alarm,
trying to save our world from harm.
Factories churn, spewing smoke and gas,
Cars clog the roads, a concrete morass.
We take from the Earth, with no thought to spare.
The damage is mounting, it’s hard to bear.
The air is thick with pollution, we do not mind.
All factories and cars working overtime.
We take from the earth with no thought to find.
Consequences of our actions...
We are blind.
This decade is a neon dream.
Bright and flashy as a laser beam.
The world’s our playground, so it seems.
Blinded, we are living a dream.
We don’t know, we don’t see.
Our actions cause so much debris.
Our actions cause so much misery.
We don’t realize.
We take and take, with no thought to give.
Consequences of our actions, we do not understand.
This decade is a neon dream.
Bright and flashy as a laser beam.
The world’s our playground, so it seems.
Blinded, we are living a dream.
Neon Dream.

Fall Of The Watcher
by Returned To The Earth

For anyone who loves progressive music, this band, and this album, is a must listen. The closest comparison for me is the band IQ. Robin Peachy's vocals are very similar to that of Peter Nicholls. The title track is the one that really put the hook in for me, especially around the 6+ min mark, where the whole thing shifts into a very jazz/prog groove and is just fantastic! Sacrifced in Vein is another standout track. An excellent album for longtime prog fans and curious newcomers.

Changes Happen To Everyone, Everywhere
by Chet Sounds
Recorded in a shipping container, the Australian artist's quirky second album is a love letter to 70’s classic rock, folk, and psychedelia.

Tempering uncompromising post-hardcore with rock n' roll debauchery, the Atlanta rabble-rousers never miss.

Favourite? I don't really have one! All the tracks have bits that vie for choice. 's just good all the way through, a bit like a stick of musical rock. How this isn't in the charts baffles me.
