lyrics

“Plasticine flesh, and the first pound’s free!”
There never was much left to see
In this maze of mangled mirrors and discarded dreams.
It’s an easy sell to a broken boy.
Fill him with drugs. Show him dangerous toys.
Shame his tenderness. Teach him to destroy.

Was a real life ever lived here?
Has a real love ever grown?
I’m waiting on the answers.
I can’t find them on my own.

And this impulse pounds against the skulls
Of the hollow-hearted who know how dull,
How dark, and depraved is the way of the world we know:
Hide in the warmth of a chemical haze
Or go out bloody with a desperate blaze.
We scratch at the walls immersed in a sinister glow.

Was a real life ever lived here?
Has a real love ever grown?
I’m waiting on the answers.
I can’t find them on my own.

We are drawn by an unknown fire,
To rise alive and reach for something so divine.
But we’re tied, and chained, and wired,
Going blind and learning how to lose our minds.
Seduced by color with no substance,
We’re buried with the madness of a thousand eons.
And we writhe, helpless, in the spider’s web,
Bound in blood and breathing lethal neon.

Wow! What a great album. Lots of great songs and great production. Some impressive guests as well like Jon Davison and Billy Sherwood of Yes. This album should be in every prog rock lovers collection. marcusalmightygemineye

Fantasy progressive rock is not something I'd ever thought of. Yet Foreign Land, especially the Foreign Land track itself, transported me straight into an unknown, magical fantasy world. Hakim Zulkufli

Forsaken Innocence

Soothfully a phenomenal prog rock album—an instant classic. What motivates me to say so, is the music’s incredible expressiveness & its wonderfully cinematic song structures. Jargon is a very good fit with this band. It is quite evident that the band’s current lineup have great chemistry together & that they share a common affinity to this vein of music. I look forward to their next creation. Drifting Sun are definitely one of prog rock’s brightest lights. Thank you, DS! 9+/10. Alrihkh

I already was subjugated by the first album "Skye" (2014). This new release "Wither Down" is assuredly a masterpiece. Bravo !!! mili1
