All he can see is parody
All he can hear is forgery
In the golden age of promoting the empty page
The remarkable man will cure it all
His target in sight is all around
The constant barrage of hollow sound
The empty shell he wishes he knew less well
The remarkable man will cure it all
Forced to subsist in cactus land
Pushed to the edge by soulless bands
Revenge he'll wreak delivered in tunes he'll leak
The remarkable man will cure it all

I used to be afflicted with an alien point of view
I used to think the legends were true
There never was any question, there never was any doubt
I knew the mantras inside and out
I'm ready to lose the battle, I'm ready to lose the war
None of it seems to matter, not like it did before
I don't wanna know your story, I don't wanna know the score
Keep the buzz away from my door
There's nothing that you can tell me I already don't wanna hear
Won't be the one to boost your esteem
I'm ready to lose the battle, I'm ready to lose the war
None of it seems to matter, not like it did before
I'm running a different direction, I'm running a different race
Got to get away from this place
Nobody saw me coming, no-one will see me leave
I've torn the heart from outside my sleeve
I'm ready to lose the battle, I'm ready to lose the war
None of it seems to matter, not like it did before

A scourge of the city I spy in the sky
The gale blows me to my knees
The dog at my throat and the dog at my feet
Never can be appeased
A train on the wrong track is running downhill
A pillar between the lines
The ship beats the wave but the wave beats the ship everytime
A solitary morning is waiting to share
The dog barks throughout the day
From breakfast to dinner he gnaws to the bone
Companion who makes his prey
Late at night fresh flies are put to my head
Hindering me from sleep
Dreaming of rest which I scarcely expect anytime

Lost soul looking for the way
The great divide at break of day
Offers everything to learn
Taking nothing in return
I might wander far and wide
You'll always be the great divide
Insulated from the night
The darkest moments turn to light
Two false idols merge to one
Reveal a long forgotten sun
History will pass you by
You'll always be the great divide
It's not enough to stand in awe
Time to come out to the fore
Nothing ever stays the same
Who'll be the keeper of the flame
You may not always be my guide
I'll always need the great divide

New reinvention
The perfect reception
The hero returns again
Shaking and stirring
Lines of truth blurring
The franchise is near the end
Say you'll never die forever
Promise evermore
Egos are hurting
Loyalty deserting
Meeting its match again
Say you'll never die forever
Promise evermore
New reinvention
A natural selection
The hero returns again

Fox among the flocks of Gilead
Held on high by wings of chariots
Covered by your shields of armoury
I will tear you down
I'll storm the pharaoh's palace
I'll fill the poisoned chalice
I'll lace the pomegranates
I'll wish you no specific harm
Merchants in your towers of ivory
Marble pillars hang in galleries
Keepers of your queens and concubines
I will tear you down
I'll storm the pharaoh's palace
I'll fill the poisoned chalice
I'll lace the pomegranates
I'll wish you no specific harm
Voice of sweetness, lips of honeycomb
Beaming with your fairest countenance
Eyes of doves in flaming coals of fire
I will wear you down
I'll storm the pharaoh's palace
I'll fill the poisoned chalice
I'll lace the pomegranates
I'll wish you no specific harm

The Second Brightest Star
by Big Big Train
supported by 12 fans who also own “The Single Edits”
In the wake of buying the Welcome To The Planet I also went for this older "EP" (clocking in on 70 minutes a rather big big EP...) as a final farewell to a very bright bright star that sadly doesn't shine anymore.

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
