Heroes

Spray lands on the windowpane as the ships slip Portsmouth’s shore
On this grey 1980s day brave men, fathers go to war
Keep them safe
Keep them warm
Out of danger’s grasp

But like those who have gone before they saw many trials
All because they swore an oath to defend British Isles
Keep them safe
Keep them warm
Show them the danger’s past

There are those who'll stand up tall and brave
Acting for us all
And so it seems the very least that we can do
Is to have respect and catch them when they fall

Help the heroes
Give them back their pride
Heal their scars, all the things not on show

And give them time for what they’ve been through
A little thanks, a little kindness and care
Give hope for tomorrow

Hear them
Hear them calling
Hear them calling you, hear them

Hear them (Help them see)
Hear them calling (Help them feel again)
Hear them calling you, hear them (That there’s always a brighter future)

Hear them (Help them overcome)
Hear them calling (Help them sail toward)
Hear them calling you (Clear horizons now)

Heroes one and heroes all, they fell
So lest we forget

To Touch the Sky

Wonderful, beautiful, densely layered music. I'm glad I gave this album several headphone listens before commenting. It did not immediately strike a chord with me, but the more I listened the more I began to understand and appreciate how fantastically rich and deep the sound is. For fans of atmospheric and melodic prog, this is an excellent addition. Bass and drum work are exquisite! paliojen_black
