Sven B. Schreiber (sbs) This is the first prog album from a Lebanese/Kuwaiti artist I'm listening to, and I'm quite pleasantly surprised about what I hear. However, don't expect anything exotic from this Arab one man band... the music sounds pretty much like clean US American prog in the tradition of "Spock's Beard" and "Dream Theater", and I can't find any Arab music traits whatsoever in there. Nevermind, the compositions are crafted excellently, with obvious love for good melodies and lush arrangements. Favorite track: Earth 1348.

Pie What we have here is world class neo-prog straight outa Kuwait City (!) Bader was only a child when the U.S. (very quickly) liberated his homeland from invading Iraqi ass-wipes (forces) Good thing they did too; Saddam would have prohibited exporting such decadence. Now he's dead (yay!) and progressive rock is alive and well in the Middle East. Anyway, "Wormwood" is an extraordinary record (splendid guitar) I happily give it my...

... HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION. Favorite track: Destroyer Of Worlds.

Rose 05:20
When life gives all its power To deliver a child with love Comes through the broken water To reach the light She's like an angel sent from god To glorify their lives Rose opens her eyes And she stares at the sky Yearning to fly On a journey through space and time Once left hopeless, they travel higher The people of a world long gone Searching for a place they desire To call home Now Rose has grown ,on a path unknown ,a billion stars Floating around ,no trace or sound ,of another kind This little child ,just realized ,a lot has been Learnt on her own ,when she's alone, now its her time She's like an angel sent from god To glorify their way Rose opens her eyes And she stares at the sky Yearning to fly On a journey through space and time Once left hopeless, they travel higher The people of a world long gone Searching for a place they desire To call home

Quarantine 06:04
I.Death in their veins She opened her eyes Astonished by everyone acting so strange They are Acting so strange Unfamiliar feelings She's standing by herself she's all alone now Whats going on! I can't explain the complications of the situation within this mess I must find a way to make it out of here ,this place is full of fear and loneliness Slowly dying ,and no one's trying to fight for life or destiny Time is running ,i need to quarantine my self Before it fades away A moment of silence While death crawls through the veins of everyone Of everyone Demoralizing failure Their eyes cant catch a glimpse of the sun so bright Nothing is right I need to find the answers but I can't explain the complications of the situation within this mess I must find a way to make it out of here ,this place is full of fear and loneliness Slowly dying ,and no one's trying to fight for life or destiny Time is running ,i need to quarantine my self Before it fades away II.Escape When Rose Tried to find a safe place to stay Her mother showed up and said You farther passed away My love Take my hand its time to go To find us another home We'v got to seize the day

Journey 06:49
Fly through time and space we fly Life is a one way destination The sky is turning blue from black Time to find the right solution The road of life begins ,when this journey ends Leaving the past behind ,the future we'll defend Till the end The end Faith is always on our side Fear is an option for the weak ones Live your life and do not hide Light your way until you see the sun The road of life begins ,when this journey ends Leaving the past behind ,the future we'll defend Till the end When the stars are out tonight And they're bound to guide our way When they're shining on our lives I can see a better day Don't give up It's not the end There's always hope There's always been Knowing what's Right from wrong Will lead you where You belong Live your life It's not too late The path you're on Decides your fate This journey will End today It's been so long Not far away They can see The blue and green Planet earth It's not a dream Landing on A place in rome This could be Our new home

Earth 1348 05:24
When the blue sky high above And the ground Is full of life and love When the moon glows bright at night And the stars Reflect its magic light People here and there Sounds from everywhere The rain falls gently To fill my heart With pride and glory My eyes can see The road that leads the way to find Our home Leave the past and send it away And move on Before your white turns gray Earth belongs to the living Not the dead Except for the lifeless ones People here and there Sounds from everywhere The rain falls gently To fill my heart With pride and glory My eyes can see The road that leads the way to find Our new home Our home

The Plague 08:35
One day when every little thing seemed so clear Darkness falls upon us once again No one knows how to face this endless fear That runs up your spine and crawls into your brain This is not how i see my life We have reached the end of the line Now the tears of sadness turn to blood And all i can see, the human race is falling down They fall beside me choking death And i'm the only one left around This is not how i see my life We have reached the end of the line It's not our time It's over As the black clouds now descend Poison spreads through their veins Will this suffering ever end Will we survive or will nothing remain This is not how i see my life We have reached the end of the line It's not our time It's over As the black clouds now descend Poison spreads through their veins Dose this suffering ever end Will we survive or will nothing remain

The Answers 05:01
Mother where have you gone What will i do without your guidance Mother What have i done My world shattered by your absence No signs of life No one's around Emptiness has filled these grounds Now i know Am all alone Searching for essence of my own I feel the end is near Crashing down on all creation And it still seems so unclear For the answers ill keep searching Don't ever give up Thats what father used to tell me But now i end up in this nightmare That controls my every thought in agony No signs of life No one's around Emptiness has filled these grounds Now i know Am all alone Searching for essence of my own I feel the end is near Crashing down on all creation And it still seems so unclear For the answers ill keep searching What is the reason Could it be me? How could this be I feel the end is near Crashing down on all creation And it still seems so unclear For the answers ill keep searching

I.Silence Silence echoes across the land Life had turned to dust Grief and sorrow in my hand Souls float over a broken crust World's ceased to exist Why am i the only one left here? Of the disease they couldn't resist Why would my soul not disappear? II.Im the reason I've come to realize That the plague's inside I should've been more wise I'm the season Voices and broken dreams Fill the atmosphere I hear their haunting screams I'm the reason If only i'd known This before Would i end my life to Be the cure I have become (All fall down) The destroyer of worlds I black out the sun (They all fall down) I am the darkness I stand here on my own With no where to hide From what I've come to know I'm the season With every step I take The nightmare closes in There's nothing left to fake I'm the reason If only i'd known This before Would i end my life to Be the cure I have become (All fall down) The destroyer of worlds I black out the sun (They all fall down) I am the darkness that feeds upon your light III.The Darkness inside All of this time The darkness lived inside of me Out of sight and mind It ends all life that's come to be I didn't choose To breathe to kill, this life of sin It ends tonight Tomorrow breaths a bright new day I am the darkness that feeds Upon your light IIII.Home I set to sail On my final journey Voyage to the sun To kill whats inside me Now I look back At the world I've destroyed My heart is black Vague and devoid I'm leaving behind What could've been home Once this is done There'll be a new dawn I offer you now This world, anew I have the answer I found the truth The life road begins When this journey ends The past is behind And i am again Upon a Lonely Planet Pure and Flawless This will be my home
