“the dark one said,
for staying alive
that only hatred
could feed their life”
lyrics
Look at you madman you are nothing else than
A slave of your own fears, who drowns in his tears
Come to me take my hand I’m your only friend
In my cage your soul will be safe
Yes, but who are you who's calling me out
I have lost myself in this world, I don’t care for life
You’re knocking at my door, but here lives a man who’s dying
You’ll fall into darkness , you'll have to close your eyes, go ahead, hide somewhere inside my world
Clouds and shadows will keep your body alive
I’ll hide you from the sunshine I’ll save you from yourself by chaining the monsters inside your mind
Time keeps poisoning whatever you do, your overwhelming life
Don’t you get it? You can’t carry on, you can’t be yourself
Without me you’ll be an useless man bound to crash
Now that all is gone what is left for you?
A speck of dust, the smell of ash
Miserable fool, miserable fool
Fool yourself my pawn, and you’ll feel better
Be my slave, my swan and pass beyond the door
You’ll fall into darkness , you'll have to close your eyes, go ahead, hide somewhere inside my world
Clouds and shadows will keep your body alive
I’ll hide you from the sunshine I’ll save you from yourself by chaining the monsters inside your mind
Time keeps poisoning whatever you do, your overwhelming life
Since we're born we’ve all seen broken souls
Running out of time, flowing through a vein, for something to destroy
Through the eyes of a child now lost
Hey man, are you still around?
I’ve lost my faith in me
I don’t know anymore
Which blood is in my veins
The blood from which I came
That keeps alive, this nightmare
I, i don’t care for life
You’re knocking at my door, but here lives a man who’s dying
Don’t let me turn into the thing they have become
Please save me
You’ll fall into darkness, you'll have to close your eyes, go ahead, hide somewhere inside my world
Clouds and shadows will keep your body alive
I’ll hide you from the sunshine I’ll save you from yourself by chaining the monsters inside your mind
Time keeps poisoning whatever you do, your overwhelming life

If someone were to ask me why I love progressive rock, this album would be one of my examples. It's eclectic; it's beautiful; it's sufficiently complex; and its cover art is cool. Soul Doubt does one hell of a great job of reprising the album's themes and building atmosphere and emotion throughout the >100 minute affair. And the cherry on top of it all is that there are no middling or superfluous songs--which is impressive because double albums usually have some amount of filler.
Magnifico!

The Australian prog band channels the chaos of climate change into powerful songs that juxtapose beauty with unpredictable brutality. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 28, 2021
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
