White Clouds (Begininng)

The cool breeze upon the shore
feels like home.
But I feel its time I have to leave,
I must move on.
There will be white clouds
beyond the hills.
The sun shines and seagulls fly;
feels like home.
The city life is calling me,
I must move on.

First Night In Berlin
03:00
|
|||
|
New to the city and so much to see.
You came to greet me,
no better place to be.
Follow me, there's much to see
and friends to meet;
here's to your first day
on this Berlin street.
Five months have gone now,
a war is declared;
friends now ignore me,
their hands are stained red.
They move in crowds
and sing aloud,
ready for war...
"Deutschland Deutschland,
Will conquer all".
I walk through the city,
the picture looks bleak.
Can't draw attention;
in their language i'll speak.
"Are you, English?"
I just can't admit;
where will I go to?

Stars Of May

Pack the essentials
I'm planning to leave tonight.
Must be tonight...
Mile after mile under darkness
with tired eyes and tired pride.
Please sir I'm asking for help
won't you change your mind.
But no reply...
Lay back and look at the stars;
hope for better times and drift away.
As a child you always have someone;
go and play and spend the day out in the open sun.
Use your time to get to where you want.
No disguise 'cause this will send you right back to the start.
I've made mistakes but so has everyone.
In this place theirs much to say but there's no need for guns.
If I awake will this all go away?
If I awake will it end the suffering?

I walked on my own and found a place I knew,
there's signs that the war has past though.
From holes in the walls to no walls at all,
so I couldn't sleep all night long.
As fountains of memories fill my mind,
will this be the worst that I find?
I cannot believe what I see, it's true
I'll get through it by thinking of you.
Paint a picture in my heart,
I'll find you.
Distant thoughts are all I have.
Remember the child that once played here?
He'd run in the dark without fear.
I now see a man on the ground white faced
whose been left there to die in this place.
Hold me up to the light
I will search for you.
There will be no sacrifice;
I will fight for you
and I will return again,
And I will be there for you.
No mask that will defend me;
Tears from my eyes evaporate.
You can't break through my disguise,
Its my last chance to change my mind.
I takes time to determine,
what's right, what's wrong, I want to know.
And each day I'll need the strength to see that
I'll live and breathe another day.
You have no place to run.
from disaster,
So run faster.
You will not be alone for much longer,
I will end this war.

Falling
04:33

Can you see them marching?
They're walking over me.
We'll write a hymn for the fallen;
'They will not bury me'.
If I knew that morning,
there'd be no point in calling.
And I wish you could see me,
I just feel like I'm falling down.
My feelings have grown so much here,
I've got some words to say.
I've missed you, through all that I've been through
give us another day.
Then maybe you will find out...

A Break In The Clouds

Could it be
that all of our dreams
are now gone forever?
I realise
that every step I take to the line
maybe my last and they're towards you.
And they'll take away our future
but I'll be strong,
I'll find out the hard way.
And if the day comes,
I'll run to you
'Cause my hearts full of pain;
With you it remains.
Thinking back
to the way it all began...
It all began with the world at my feet.
Sitting here
writing letters its cold and I pray
that one day our paths will cross again.
(all of our dreams)

Conquered Air
09:16
|

August 5th: A cold and open night,
I can hear the breeze;
I can hear the sounds of the night.
I can't sleep, I can't close my eyes.
Something doesn't feel right...
I can't hear the thoughts in my mind.
A new day is dawning...
A rising sun,
a weathered pencil drawing in the mud.
The train is still boarding, there faces glum;
the captain brings the orders to leave at once.
And everybody's looking up to the sky
and praying for the conquered air.
Tell me the story
of when its done,
the fine details of glory and whats to come.
When everybody's looking up to the sky
as if to see the conquered air.
God I pray to give me strength and help today,
Help me stay safe...
Oh lord hear me now.
Run over open ground,
can't enshroud anymore.
Look out across the land,
flailing hands go down.
Push on we must advance
through the guns and the gas.
Rain falling from white clouds,
wash the blood from our hands.
I tried to be as strong as I could be
but the pain is just too much,
I'm cold and I can't go on.
Hold off sleep,
don't take me now.
August 6th: A cold and lonely night,
I can't hear the breeze,
I can hear the sounds of the night;
I can hear the thoughts in my mind.

Look at the people time's erased.
There's nowhere to turn it won't go away.
Look at the way this place has changed.
The world is a ruin,
take me away.
See all the tears run down his face;
one face in a million won't be replaced.
Bullets on the ground, burnt buildings lay;
The world has an illness.
I swore I'd see it,
the apologies are there.
I was trying to find my way home to you.
Then on the ground
I found the words you left for me.
And my heart was grieving for all I believed in,
All I believed in then.
Now i've been found
they will see the words i wrote for you
of how my hearts been bleeding for all I believed in,
oh I believed in you.

White Clouds (Finale)
05:08
|
|||
|
Fear is believing there's no hope,
and I'd give all I have to give
to be home.
There will be white clouds
beyond the hills.
Fear is believing there's no hope,
And I know it's time I have to leave,
I must move on.
Come with me we'll find a place to go,
I will be the one who lifts you up.
Look to the clouds and mourn the millions
gone that kept their pride.

Forsaken Innocence
by Drifting Sun
supported by 15 fans who also own “White Clouds”
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.

Whilst delivering well crafted music, unless you focus on the lyrics, you could miss the story lines. This is the last of the war trilogy, so subtle ,but so poignant. Superb music with broken road and Holding On ,on permanent repeat. Listen and become enthralled. Top quality song writing and musicianship.10/10
