The Fading Ghosts of Yesterday (EP)

Sven B. Schreiber (sbs) I'm a long-time fan of Dutch prog - an affection that dates back to the 70's when "Focus", "Kayak", and "Finch" issued their legendary albums, and that was nourished over time by newer bands like "Trion", "Flamborough Head", "Us", "Like Wendy"... and "Fractal Mirror", of course. Dutch prog usually exposes a highly developed passion for great melodies and lush, classically oriented orchestration. The endlessly meandering vocal and instrumental lines, as well as the overwhelming mellotron arrangements found everywhere on this four-track EP, are a perfect example. Favorite track: Reorganization.

You said your goodbyes I'm leaving you said This whole pack of lies Is turning into a threat So now you are gone It's empty inside The picture has changed For good You're turning away You're leaving it all behind Wasting away The fading ghost of yesterday You have been here But left without a trace Smiling at grief A memory without a face For those left behind It all just goes on You're fading away Part of the past The same applies to us From your point of view We're fading away (2x) Your turning away You're leaving it all behind Wasting away The fading ghost of yesterday You have been here But left without a trace Smiling at grief A memory without a face

Introduction 03:42
This is what i want to tell you A tale that's just about myself The things i've done The live i've led And the lives i've taken for myself It's here I tell it all right here If you want to hear I tell it all right here My family don't want to know me Because of all the things i've done The monster of the family Memoires of the devil's son It's here I tell it all right here If you want to hear I tell it all right here

Testing 06:04
I watched you from afar Saw all the things you did The things he isn't supposed to know But i will take revenge Take revenge for him You are a sinner And you need to be saved But first you need to understand What it is to feel pain Feel it and shout his name You will never leave again, my love You'll never betray him again You keep on crying And shouting for help But there is no help out here No one to save the day Save the day for you I'll get my tools out While you lie there still There is really no escape for you This will be your end Your great escape You will never leave again, my love You'll never betray him again

It's just like staring into the barrel of a gun The uncertainty's begun Will you survive this time Or be the victim of the gun The uncertainty's begun Why do we always need more Creed is at the core Money is the law They open up a window. And honesty is gone Creed is at the core And money is the law. Today it's happy days But tomorrow that might be gone The uncertainty's begun You're not alone in this There's others who are also Staring into the gun Why do we always need more Creed is at the core Money is the law They open up a window. And honesty is gone Creed is at the core And money is the law. Employee: I have been working here for 37 years And now they told me that they don't need me anymore They gave me a simple choice Two hours to work and two hours home everyday Or one single ticket home Company: We want to settle this amicably But we also need to get on You're no longer part of our plans So take the money and run Why do we always need more Creed is at the core Money is the law They open up a window. And honesty is gone Creed is at the core And money is the law.
