lyrics

Miller singing:
An accidental hospital blaze?
Perfect place to start inquiries.
A little snooping round the records at dark,
Checking out their files and their patient histories.

I’m looking for a freak with a match…
Someone mad enough to burn their psych-ward down.
Filing through a roll call of broken people.
The lost and the damned.

Now... here’s a dude who thinks he’s god on earth.
A manipulator, right across the line.
From 22nd century excess, to fundamental hate in one screwed-up lifetime.

You keep on running, but you’ll never get away from me.
Here I come, ready or not.
No matter what you do, I’ll always catching up on you.
Gonna find you, anywhere you go.
You go forever but I’m everywhere you’ll ever be.
The count is over now your time is up.
You keep on running, but you’ll never get away from me.
Gotta make up for the things I’ve done.
Hide and seek.

This cookoo’s called Nathaniel Crow,
A psycho guru with a killer’s scheme.
Came up in a cult down South,
brainwashed and terrorised his way in easy.

Jonah would be powerless and smart,
a perfect asset for a creep like Crow.
Indoctrinated, under duress,
my buddy could be building anything you dream of.

You keep on running, but you’ll never get away from me.
Here I come, ready or not...

There he is! Jonah himself!
Black and white photo on a patient file.
His face is beaten, his stare is lost in space.
Cops found him alive, brought him here,
And here he sat, abandoned, insane,
8 years before our Jonah disappeared.

Now where’s this little Crow gonna fly?
It's not so easy hiding, that I know.
Megalomania doesn't wear off,
You can bet he isn't out there now delivering pizzas.

You keep on running, but you’ll never get away from me.
Here I come, ready or not...

From England, his folks.
Involved in the blast at Hartlepool, the nuclear plant.
Toxic waste ravaged the Northern England air.
Radiation rained down upon all their homes,
The Crows fled the scene with their sweet little boy,
Fundamentalist friends across the sea prepared.
Now Hartlepool is deserted and quiet, the coast is most definitely clear...
Found you.

Narrator speaks:
“Meanwhile, aboard the Abio Lab, Violet worked alone.”

Violet:
“If I can just establish a stable time component in the teleporter, maybe I can figure out what happened.”

Two guards enter the Teleport Room…

Guard:
“Dr. Vicefield? You’re coming with us. Minister Fiennes wishes to see you - now.”

Violet:
“I can’t. Tell her I’m busy. Miller’s disappeared.”

The guards activate their weapons.

Guard:
“Now, Doctor!”

SEED
by Freedom To Glide

supported by 13 fans who also own “Hide and Seek”

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 kzra

RAIN
by Freedom To Glide

supported by 12 fans who also own “Hide and Seek”

Surprisingly good. As may be expected from 2 members of a Pink Floyd tribute band, "Rain" invites comparisons to PF's concept albums and Roger Waters' solo work. Recommended listening for anybody who was disappointed by Endless River! SantaR

Dwellers of the Deep
by Wobbler

supported by 12 fans who also own “Hide and Seek”

This might be the least folky of the Wobbler releases and I wasn't sure about it at all. After a few listens however I'm loving the inventiveness and the endless melodies, all driven along by Kristian Hultgren's wonderful percussive bass. PartTimeZombie

London Song

BBT are standard bearers for modern prog, with a sound that evokes the spirit of those legendary 70s bands whilst managing to also be thoroughly contemporary. It's astonishing that over 30 minutes of music of this quality, with such high production values, is being made available for free - and their full albums are also very reasonably priced...
