For a Moment

Through, all the craters of your life
There was a sign there for
You, never wanted to be known
Only to be somebody
Too, the kind of people on this earth
That's what they try to say is
True, that love can split apart the soul
But I know what makes us whole
For so long that I was lost
Doubting to live another day
Until I turned on my direction
Starting out a better way
For a moment we were free
But it couldn't last forever now
Could it be our eternal slumber
I believe they'll come around
So, I found a message down inside
I could surrender to the
Flow, and reach within the tired heart
Lifting it up from deep
Below, to hold it high above my head
Where everyone clearly sees the
Glow, and spread it over all the earth
The light of a golden birth
For so long that I was lost
Doubting to live another day
Until I turned on my direction
Starting out a better way
For a moment we were free
But it couldn't last forever now
Could it be our eternal slumber
I believe they'll come around
For so long that I was lost
Doubting to live another day
Until I turned on my direction
Starting out a better way
For a moment we were free
But it couldn't last forever now
Could it be our eternal slumber
I believe they'll come around

Golden Stake

Inside of everything I say
A burning star could keep the consequence at bay
Right up til the end
And curling outward through the core
A string of promises lie broken on the floor
That I could never mend but
Don't send me back
I want to be real
Don't send me back
I'm holding a golden stake in the sun
Don't send me back
I want to be real
Don't send me back
I'm holding a golden stake in the sun
I never guessed that you could know
How I had hidden such a consequential blow
To all that we had built
But please just try to understand
What makes me feel myself can never make a man
And I can't stand this guilt so
Don't send me back
I want to be real
Don't send me back
I'm holding a golden stake in the sun
Don't send me back
I want to be real
Don't send me back
I'm holding a golden stake in the sun
It seems this has to be the end
And lined with shame for all the words I couldn't send
I'll never turn around so
Don't send me back
I want to be real
Don't send me back
I'm holding a golden stake in the sun
Don't send me back
I want to be real
Don't send me back
I'm holding a golden stake in the sun

Five flowers turn
For a circle round your garden
Three faces facing in the sun
Too many eyes
To count them without blinking
All pointing towards a single one
Over all these possible years
You were always there
Sending hope through all of my fears
To light up the air
And I never thought I'd see it
In time we can guarantee if
We were ever meant to be this way
But I know we've still got more we've left to say
Stop pushing out
From the hands all interlocking
And holding on to what is yours
With frost and rain
And memories long forgotten
Flying down a hall of endless doors
Over all these possible years
You were always there
Sending hope through all of my fears
To light up the air
And I never thought I'd see it
In time we can guarantee if
We were ever meant to be this way
But I know we've still got more we've left to say
It's not the same
Was it really ever different
You might believe me if it were
I can't sustain
All the luck I'd lost to find you
But the rest you'd probably prefer
Over all these possible years
You were always there
Sending hope through all of my fears
To light up the air
And I never thought I'd see it
In time we can guarantee if
We were ever meant to be this way
But I know we've still got more we've left to say
Over all these possible years
You were always there
Sending hope through all of my fears
To light up the air
And I never thought I'd see it
In time we can guarantee if
We were ever meant to be this way
But I know we've still got more we've left to say

Wait and See
05:34

You're worried you lost me
Just how the past was lost to time
I can't keep on hoping
Something would wake you down the line
There's no more explaining
It's just how I feel again today
The pressure is building
But it's more fulfilling my own way
No, I won't go willingly
You'll just have to wait and see
What choices happen to be
Don't make me relive it
No need to justify my right
I thought that we'd made it
You thought you'd won without a fight
You cannot imagine
Just how much passion I can store
So few ever speak up
It's no wonder why we need it more
No, I won't go willingly
You'll just have to wait and see
What choices happen to be
There's places we came from
Places we've been one day before
But coming from nothing
Feels like above all else a chore
Now you've got me tied up
Wrapped in decisions of my own
Our moment to hold on
Hearts in a snare but still alone
No, I won't go willingly
You'll just have to wait and see
What choices happen to be
Now, you've got me on a string
And saving the past we bring
Upon this silence to sing

Finally

Too many forks along the golden road
And not alone
To be a place so near the end
It was the second day I spoke with you
But you could hear
The sound of space within the wind
Something made
In the heart
Unconditionally embracing
All you were to be
Silently
Holding hands
In the sun
Looking back to the life you're facing
It was meant for me
Finally
Returning to the home you never knew
With all in place
The same position you had left
The empty walls and dusty memories
Here in the light
You lie with happiness bereft
So bringing back a lonely souvenir
We used to own
There can't be many that remain
And shove it deep inside a wooden box
To close the door
Cause all it leaves for you is pain
Something made
In the heart
Unconditionally embracing
All you were to be
Silently
Holding hands
In the sun
Looking back to the life you're facing
It was meant for me
Finally
So, in the hopelessness of love
Carry on to the last of the tears
Speak up, it's a tendency to feel
Like the turn of a page
High, in the looming thoughts above
Lies a reason to brush off the fears
Go on, like a sparrow overhead
Understanding her cage
So, in the hopelessness of love
Carry on to the last of the tears
Speak up, it's a tendency to feel
Like the turn of a page
So when I speak to you of living past
You have to know
The pictures held inside my mind
And if you can't there's nothing left to say
I won't explain
To you it's all that you could find
In life there's streets that aren't in use today
It doesn't mean
That no one walks them by mistake
But for the purposes of everyone
It pays to keep
Some space between til you're awake
Something made
In the heart
Unconditionally embracing
All you were to be
Silently
Holding hands
In the sun
Looking back to the life you're facing
It was meant for me
Finally
Something made
In the heart
Unconditionally embracing
All you were to be
Silently
Holding hands
In the sun
Looking back to the life you're facing
It was meant for me
Finally

Dividing Line
06:11
|
|||
|
A wave of consequence rolls over by surprise
And washes everything around
To brush on past whatever thought that you surmise
And not create a single sound
Cause in the envelope of time that it creates
Preparing moments for the past
To wait so fruitlessly for silence to abate
Indifference never came so fast
You knew yourself to be real enough
To be the only one dividing line
And the one forgetful notion
Stand in the spot that you were before
I knew your name inside the other mind
That would justify the motion
Allowing visions of the future in your mind
Corrupts the nature of the now
And searching aimlessly the present you can find
Is only riding on the vow
When tainted yesterday seeps into what's to come
And all tomorrow knows is lost
The bitter moment feels like nothing to the numb
And chips away within the frost
You knew yourself to be real enough
To be the only one dividing line
And the one forgetful notion
Stand in the spot that you were before
I knew your name inside the other mind
That would justify the motion
Moonlight sorrow
Sorrow be
Only spoken rhyme
Sunlight follow
Follow me
Into broken time
You knew yourself to be real enough
To be the only one dividing line
And the one forgetful notion
Stand in the spot that you were before
I knew your name inside the other mind
That would justify the motion
You knew yourself to be real enough
To be the only one dividing line
And the one forgetful notion
Stand in the spot that you were before
I knew your name inside the other mind
That would justify the motion

Parting

Pick me up and move me
Before the sun peaks in the heart of my dreams
I caught a fleeting glance and knew
It's only time
It can't be much longer
We'd agreed that the days were moving slow
Too slow for me but not for you
To toe the line
I hear a lot of questions
Too close to sleep but too far away from home
Sometimes I think it's in my arms
I let it go
You're never too close to the road
And you're never too far from the freedom you sold
When we first began
A line in the sand
So follow me back to the place
Where everything turned and I first saw your face
And we turned to stone
Together alone

Life in the Punch Line
by Fifth Species
supported by 8 fans who also own “Golden Stake”
Splendid prog with a clear Gentle Giant influence. But this is not a copycat band, not at all, since they add plenty of original elements, such as the interplay between male and female vocals, a very modern synergy between the instruments and a songwriting that strikes a perfect balance between pop and prog (a goal that GG themselves always struggled to achieve). The result is a real delight, not only for prog or Gentle Giant lovers, but for all those who love music.
