Circle Of Stone

Mind Reader: "In my opinion, only people that you are really close to, can tell what are thinking. Anyone else that says they know what you or anyone else is thinking, is an idiot or worse." Tears In Rain: "Inspired by the character Roy, played by Rutger Hauer, in the wonderful sci-fi movie Blade Runner. Roy is a Replicant with a pre-programmed short life span. He desperately searches for a way to extend his life. His final scene is possibly the most moving and emotional scene of any sci-fi movie. The Blade Runner movie is based on a book by Philip K Dick called 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep'. Some songs on my Silicon Messiah album were inspired by that book." Rage: "Inspired by the Welsh folk tale of Prince Llywelyn and Gelert." The Year Beyond This Year: "Maybe it will take me a while to get where I want to go. First I have to let go of the regrets and sadness that keep me looking back instead of ahead. Then slowly and gently prepare myself for the future I want, however humble or glorious it is. There is no rush. A small step is still a step. I will Just try to make each small step a step in the right direction." The Ghost In The Bottle: "The ghost in this song is the combination of wrong and distorted thoughts I sometimes have, that hold me back. I like to imagine I can catch all those bad thoughts and trap them in a magical bottle. Then I won't expect it to be bad. If it's good try to enjoy it, if it's bad I will try to endure it. However it turns out, I know I have try the most of it because it could be my last tomorrow. Sometimes I try to think that a bad day is just a test. I'll never know how strong I really am until I am tested. And I won't know it is a test until it is over. When things get tough for you just try to hold on the best you can . Please, for me, just hold on. One more second, one more minute, one more day. Just hold on the best you can." Broken Man: "My family, my friends, my fans, I thank you" The Call Of The Ancestors: "The connection to all those that came before us." Circle Of Stone: "The search for truth and meaning." Absence: "The pain of separation from those we love." A Day Of Reckoning: "The connection to all those that came before you." The Path Of The Righteous Man: "Finding purpose and the true path." Until We Meet Again: "Your promise."
