lyrics

In far off lands there’s still a light shining through the dark
There’s still some hope if only I can find a way out of here
And though I languish in this sorry state, and I know it cannot be
The sunlight shines within my dreams
There I’m warm and glad and free

Though many nights I hear the cries echoing around these walls
I lie in fear, hungry and cold, never knowing night from day
Sometimes I eat to stay alive though I forget the reason why
For the day may come when I rise up
And leave this place behind

So here am I the forgotten one, who will state my case?
Will someone bring a lantern here and shine it on my face
So I can walk in those fields again and hear my children’s cries
I will not leave this hope behind
Nor bid this life goodbye

Foreign Land
by The Far Meadow

supported by 24 fans who also own “Song Of The Forgotten One”

Fantasy progressive rock is not something I'd ever thought of. Yet Foreign Land, especially the Foreign Land track itself, transported me straight into an unknown, magical fantasy world. Hakim Zulkufli

Forsaken Innocence
by Drifting Sun

supported by 23 fans who also own “Song Of The Forgotten One”

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. Alrihkh

When you like your prog to be more beautiful and/or accessible than prog-proggy, than this is for you! Melodic as hell and yes, Peter Falconer is quite a singer! That wouldn't go half the way without the solid songs of Pat Sanders. A great combination of skills ;-) Carsten Pieper
