Ollie One of the best record I've heard in times. Reminds me a lot of the 70's, good song writing, great producing process. Favorite track: Liberty Fraternity Eternity.

Ioannis Valiakos “How the East Was Lost” is the best album that you have yet to listen. There is no doubt that this much needed reissue will bring the band to a new audience, and that the sweet sound of the wax will take the listening experience several levels up. Brilliant album!

Last Laugh 10:46
1. LAST LAUGH (10:37) The swirling motion of her dress That many hands have pulled away Diminishing spells, little things She is herself Beautiful witch dance When she is here I cry Splash wreaths with flowers of silence Eyes glowing in the dark And I feel the love Loving of last night Sometimes naked Sometimes in a wedding dress Give a drive or hope for the next She destroys the curtains The mists of the thicket day Putting a spell on me so I see Sometimes there is a thunder Then you see the light And from your lover His love won’t be denied Sun is shining down and You look up to the sky Then you come back to me Laughing at my face In your marble eyes I can see your soul Hungry for some love I will come back to you Give you what you need When the time will come Better wait for me

2. BACKSEAT DRIVER (05:17) There’s a worm in my head Ain’t green but a friend I talk with him whenever desired I give him my body To play and to guide me I trust him, I follow his lead Would you call me a liar If I tell you the truth Would you call me a thief nothing belongs to you Yet the lesson was given No prisoners taken There ain’t any rules And myself was mistaken From what I’ve been told It’s a misunderstanding The will of my living Is quickly descending There’s a worm in my head And it tries to kill me It killed many men But it ain’t gonna get me Chorus One simple-minded desire He tells me, my master Do you believe or am I insane? Is it just me or we’re slaves of common friend Some say it is an enemy but what can I say My mind is playing on me Insanity Surrender me, your eyes on me I’ll walk you thru, you trust no fool The sky collapses on you But you don’t seem to know My self was given Return me home

The Plague 05:51
3. THE PLAGUE (05:46) Would you bring me to my knees How honestly said Serving you as I see No more tears, I am free I hunt my vengeance in you Give me your strength The need for more The lies you fed me Kept me awake The lies As we see no escape Truest love can't be replaced Only wish the same For the days never end Doubts are reaching high Leaving scars around my chest Game is not over We will meet again someday How can I thank Giving me choices I couldn't make Leaving me burning My only friend Pain and fear Keeping me alive and still As I wish you were here

White Lies 07:56
5. WHITE LIES (08:00) It’s fine. Until the devil comes mocking lines Surprised, yet you’re taking all those lies There’s no light, the tunnel ends in fire It’s designed to make you feel divine The host is getting stronger The fight is getting longer It seems to fill my hunger It's done, and so at this time of the night I feel fine, yet I can hear you cry all night You called me a liar, but I said no lies It's designed to make you feel divine The host is getting stronger The fight is getting longer It seems to fill my hunger Give the weepers what they really want Get medicine set, medicine done Mind the speaker cause he's one of us Get medicine set, medicine done Spare the children cause I swear they must Get medicine set, medicine done And the weakened cause they truly must Get medicine set, medicine

6. WIZARDS HAND (05:14) Shaking limbs, they're here to rot Vultures circling them above Give them the strength to rise Chances low, home unknown Druids gather withered souls Monsters fall Wizard's hand Teach them how to defend Wizard's hand Show them the way to the end Wizard's hand Shut the high reverence Feed them with love And they'll never bend On the plateau lays his crest And the wizard needs no help Slaying monsters out at night Druids gather on the square Calling out for wizards aid Monster slay Wizard's hand Teach them how to defend Wizard's hand Show them the way to the end Wizard's hand Shut the high reverence Feed them with love

7. LIBERTY FRATERNITY ETERNITY (09:17) Do you remember When we were just kids Life was then an easy part At least for what it seemed We would hide in the bushes Fight with sticks against the world No one would have to tell us, boy That was a good time Now it's gone But I'll remember The mornings were friends Then we would run away With time that had no end We would bring to our mothers Viper in bare hands No one would have to tell us, boy That was a good time Now let us pass it to the next Greenfields, glossy skies And the forest, oh boy I can feel it singing in my bones Do you remember
