Here is the big song of the album, by which we mean the longest one. There's a lot to digest and it's possible two or three songs. Callbacks to "Microdeath Softstar" from Doomsday Afternoon, as well as the "I'm only dreaming" lyric from "The Doctrine Of Eternal Ice (Two). Check out how these words differ from those.
lyrics
from hydrogen to love
the bringer of the future
never thinking of the past
he’s been waiting here forever
and he knows we can not last
but time is so slow and we are not blind
the gates still stand open
there’s something left to find
with you go i
deliverer and teacher
if we only had today
would we wail about tomorrow
would we wallow in our pain?
call the keeper sleeping soundly
from his colourless cocoon
now’s the time to suffer loudly
there’s no shelter from the truth
there’s no shelter from the truth
there’s no shelter
we go with you
with you go i
all the way through over the side
with you go i
all the way through
we go with you
with you go i
over the side we go with you
the author of misfortune
ever wishing for a loss
all he knows has been forgotten
no one thought about the cost
he keeps hoping for redemption
he is looking for the perfect cross
time is still slow, nothing left to hide
so tear up the story
and smash away the design
with you go i
destroyer, destroyer
we’re coming much closer
we know what you’re after
and now we are wiser
the bringer of the future
never thinking of the past
he’s a master concealer
but does he know what’s in the glass?
collector, collector
always wishing for what you had not
that lonely cycle of suction
it felt so good you forgot
and as the trophy draws nearer
the revealer is unmasked
the illuminant is made clearer
and the way is lit at last
the force that gave us everything
from hydrogen to love
through the spark of consciousness
see, the purpose comes
the force that gave us everything
and love
i’m only dreaming
of times that we survived
i’m only thinking of all that is alive
i’m only losing
the storm that formed in me
and that was illusion
confusion underneath
so long to that thief
i’m only dreaming
of those who said goodbye
who lived a day to try
i’m only thinking of all we have inside
and things we let go by
i’m only thinking

What can I say about Big Big Train that I haven’t said before?
This album took a little while to grow on me but by the time I saw it live I was in love with its humongous, over-egged pomposity! They do it all with such passion, excitement and amazing musicianship.

In the wake of buying the Welcome To The Planet I also went for this older "EP" (clocking in on 70 minutes a rather big big EP...) as a final farewell to a very bright bright star that sadly doesn't shine anymore. Carsten Pieper
