Follow The Leader
FOLLOW THE LEADER
Live by the sword, die by the handgun
Run and be free, bowing to no-one
And it’s all fine until the winter comes
and then the nights start drawing in
You get so hungry you could eat your friends
And that’s the only way to win
FOLLOW THE LEADER
His name is Fish, he is the master
He rules the park, feeds on disaster
And when you’re hungry you will scrounge for food
And hunt the crowd outside the park
They lock their doors and barricade them shut
And never come out after dark
FOLLOW THE LEADER
Skulls will be smashed, necks will be broken
Men will be slain, filleted open
We shift our shapes and wander in the dark
And hide in places you won’t see
A sudden blow and then your life is done
And now your name belongs to me
FOLLOW THE LEADER

Big Bad Wolf
They call him the Big Bad Wolf
He’s the baddest guy around
If you’re looking for trouble, sonny,
He’ll knock you to the ground
Crawling in slowly, under the darkness
He crept on forward all clad in jet black
He hadn’t noticed the shadow behind him
Hatching and waiting to thwart his attack
Aiming his crossbow, before he could fire
The muscular figure had pounced on his back
They call him the Big Bad Wolf
He’s the baddest guy around
If you’re looking for trouble, sonny,
He’ll knock you to the ground
Then the assassin took out a small handgun
He aimed for the head of the man on his back
The hero rolled over and seized the revolver
And throttled the villain until he went slack
He took the assassin and sent him to prison
It’s all a night’s work for a masked wolf in black
They call me the Big Bad Wolf
I’m the baddest guy around
If you’re looking for trouble, sonny
I’ll knock you to the ground

Thirty years or more ago
Bob the Bunny taught the world
A lesson in fire and blood
Thirty years or more ago
Bob the bunny built an ark
And sailed out on the flood
Thirty years or more ago
Bob the bunny taught my band
To play Mah-jongg and chess
Thirty years or more ago
Bob the bunny taught the Land
The meaning of the word ‘distress’

Illiath Part I – The Quest
Her sword was sharp, her armour polished bright
Her eyes were blue and blazed with inner light
The townsfolk wondered where and whence she came
The heads of several demons to her name
Illiath the brave, Illiath the free
Illiath the famed wandering mercenary
Possessed of wisdom far beyond her years,
One slip and everything would end in tears
She knew exactly what the town would do
If they found out she was a demon too
Illiath the brave, Illiath the free
Illiath the famed wandering mercenary
There was a murderer who killed his wife
The town hired Illiath to end his life
There was a monster in a nearby cave
Sent several townsfolk to an early grave
The people begged and offered gold in store
If Illiath could make them safe once more
Illiath the brave, Illiath the free
Illiath the famed wandering mercenary

Illiath Part II – The Fight
Illie went in search of the cave to find and slay her evil foe
Then she heard some thoughts from above
Of evil men watching below
Seven bandits dropped from the trees
To take her gold or else her life
Soon their leader saw his mistake
Her three-foot sword against his knife
They had no clue what they had done
Mugging the monster is not very fun
"You are a sinner," she said – then she removed his head.
Illie smiled a terrible smile as he fell dead as he could be
Then her face turned back to a snarl
Since only some had tried to flee
Two of them were skilled at the sword
A clash of steel as they went round
Illie was the top of her class and left them dead upon the ground
She took their heads back to the town
She claimed the bounty for putting them down
"This one’s the leader," she said – and then produced his head.
Illie found her way to the cave to find and slay her evil foe
Pausing every stop of the way, and into what she didn’t know
A bolt of lightning, a bang and a flash
She dropped unconscious with a metallic crash
What else is there left to tell?
They put her in a cell.

Illiath Part III – The Capture
Illie woke on a dungeon floor
With her hidden wings revealed
To live in peace among the normal folk
You have to keep them well concealed
Illie knew from experience
That she must escape her cell
All that she’d get would be a chopping block
And a one-way trip to Hell
Keep going, keep going,
Keep going, don’t stop now
Keep going, keep going,
Keep going, don’t stop now
The lock was all rods and springs
She jimmied it with her wings
There wasn’t a soul around
She crept out without a sound
Moving swift from room to room
She vanished deep into the gloom
It must be her lucky day
Keep going, keep going,
Keep going, don’t stop now
Keep going, keep going,
Keep going, don’t stop now
She knocked out the guards she met
They weren’t going to catch her yet
The wall had a handy map
Or was it another trap?
Making up the time she’d lost
She went to find the Big Bad Boss
She’s going to make him pay
Keep going, keep going,
Keep going, don’t stop now
Keep going, keep going,
Keep going, don’t stop now
Which way to the Big Bad Boss?
Which way...
On a throne
His features shone like lava
Illie stared,
The monster was her father
All along
“Illiath my child, come and take my hand...
We will overthrow the rulers of this land...
We’ll make it safe for people born with wings!”
...And she took his hand.

With its debut album, this young band from Vienna follows the footsteps of honorable Austrian prog masters like "Matter Of Taste". The music on this concept album is not of the kind I'd call particularly innovative - it travels pretty much on well known roads paved by many others long ago. However, these youngsters do it in a highly pleasant way, skillfully avoiding the pitfalls of pseudo-progressive phrase rehashing most of the time - certainly more successfully so than several of their experienced grand paragons of prog.
