Lyrics
Lyrics; Michael Duran Vocals; Kevin Rosenberger And out of the void, came light.. We take from the land, and we build with our hands, and the sweat of our brows, and we build & we build, then we turn to new lands .. and start again. A million years have come & gone, a billion lives have seen the dawn .. and gone .. still.. YOU ARE HERE.. YOU ARE HERE.. YOU ARE HERE.. YOU ARE HERE.. Spears turn to guns, turn to bombs, turn to run, .. from the light of the sun .. .. and where are you? 10 million years have come & gone, a trillion lives have seen the dawn .. and gone .. and still.. YOU ARE HERE.. YOU ARE HERE.. YOU ARE HERE.. YOU ARE HERE.. We take from the land, and we build with our hands, and the sweat of our brows, and we build & we build, then we turn to new lands .. and start again. Spears turn to guns, turn to bombs, turn to run, .. from the light of the sun .. .. and where are you now? YOU ARE HERE.. YOU ARE HERE.. YOU ARE HERE.. YOU ARE HERE..

Breathtaking. Incredible vocal performance delivering a great lyric atop a huge tune. Oh and a fantastic full spectrum wall of sound behind it all. Comparable with Ayreon, and that's saying something in my book. I have to keep this one.

This track definitely sweeps everyone off their feet. Marvelous atmosphere, very dramatic and passionate. The music is superb, beautifully arranged and produced with an underlying power and emotion. All topped off by Kevin's awesome vocals. Brilliant stuff.
