LYRICS
______
In the scorched grass, on the sunny glade
A long, long time ago…
Young God was lying once, he has worrying about
A long, long time ago…
Warm breath awoke the world, he created us a perfect human form
Now it’s the end of horizon, he can’t see the sun
Since a long, long time ago…
Try understanding it
Everything is so beautifully green
Don’t be affraid
Everything is so beautifully green
Fading rhythm gathers some speed
Faster and smoother, why we can’t believe
Day after day, in this familiar line
Dawn is always born, brings you something more
Try understanding it
Everything is so beautifully green
Don’t be affraid
Everything is so beautifully green
When the green color becomes a significant force
I am still, is it real? Day after day, in this familiar line
Dawn always come
Everyone can dream on!
But dreaming won’t save us, it won’t save anyone!
Lost in perception a long, long time ago
In the scorched grass on the sunny glade
Young God was lying twice, He created us
A perfect human form. He can’t see the sun this time
Waiting for the Lord, what’s wrong?
Why do they understand only what they want?!
Consume more green color!
Consume blood! Advertised by God
Consume faith! Each of tchem, every day, consumes more
Let’s consume yourself!
There I was, I asked, I lost willingness
I tried soon to draw, I tried to target up
And they’ve cut my freedom’s run
They imposed the page, they’ve got jugment place
Oh God! Where is my home, dear God my beautiful land
Consume yourself!
Until I have my own will
Until I stand and live
Be sure, I’ll rescue my home from this word
I promise, I’ll restore the colour of hope

This is an incredible music album,when you're listening this album you're teleporting your self to another multidimensional world Masterpiece 🤘🖤

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 ;-)

Although the 3 guest vocalists on this album sing wonderfully, and the songs are diverse and creative, I still prefer the voice of Peter Falconer. Still, I highly recommend this album, aware that my preference is somewhat of a bias. Some of the guitar playing on here is incredible. Despite the new vocalists, the sound of this album is still distinctly Drifting Sun. Personally, I give it 7.5/10.

Belief In The Machine
by Rick Millersupported by 23 fans who also own “Swallow the Green Tones”
At last and after a too long time on my wishlist this album has finally been bought ;-) Clearly recommended to friends of classic Pink Floyd (rather think Wish You Were Here than The Wall or in other words rather think Gilmour/Wright than Waters).
