lyrics

Return to Earth-

Nasa, there's nothing out there
the stars are closer then we've ever dreamed.
Children, don't change the channel.
The stars are closer than your television screen.
It's bigger and it's brighter than anything you've ever seen.

Return to earth all you astronauts
all you scientists and soldiers
you sailors of the seven seas
you great romantic dreamers
you ancient saints of poetry
you dancing suns and streamers of light.

Sunshine, you never noticed the light inside you.
It's everything you need.
Moonbeams dance on the water.
Heaven is calling from beyond your wildest dreams.
It's bigger and it's brighter than anything you've ever seen.

Return to earth all you astronauts
all you scientists and soldiers
you sailors of the seven seas
you great romantic dreamers
you ancient saints of poetry
you dancing suns and streamers of light.
Come home.

I used to look up at the stars thinking how will I get that far?

I left that child so far behind
I closed her eyes I blew her mind
I laughed at all her schemes and dreams
I was so sure but now it seems that
by our latest calculations
it's a universe of music
the missing link
the smallest piece
the end of the equation
the circle of infinity has found its destination

Return to earth all astronauts.

Nasa, there's nothing out there.
The stars are closer than we've ever dreamed.
Moonbeams dance on the water.
Heaven is calling from beyond your wildest dreams.
It's bigger and it's brighter than anything you've ever seen.

Return to Earth.
Remember what you're fighting for.
Surrender 'cause there is no war.
Return to Earth.

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

Wonderful, beautiful, densely layered music. I'm glad I gave this album several headphone listens before commenting. It did not immediately strike a chord with me, but the more I listened the more I began to understand and appreciate how fantastically rich and deep the sound is. For fans of atmospheric and melodic prog, this is an excellent addition. Bass and drum work are exquisite! paliojen_black
