Procyon's Penance

by Orion Syndrome

/
1.
Distorted, spoken words in the central break: The Tunnel's Dark and Deep in it's Attack... And I feel I've been Stretched upon the Rack... I can't see which way's forward or which way's back... And all that I can See is just Black.

Blood from my hands Hide the Night - Red Point Sight And I'm Running the Fields one again Lights scan the Land Golden Towers Rise - Shoot the Sky Take my down to the Riverside Messages; Signals from a Dream I can Feel them, drawing Nearer when my Mind Wanders - in Ghosts I still Believe (Chorus) Days when We were Together I wait, I rest and I Dream Longing Only to Be with You Should I Finish this, and Face all my Deeds Long Since the Down Run so Fast, Run So Far And Transport me to where there's no Eyes Energy... Gone Can't Find Sleep, Troopers Chasing Me All I need is your Love to Survive Frozen Point Make them Stand and then We'll See I'll Field them, be as One with them And Go Out as it Really Should Be (Chorus) Days when We were Together I watch, I wait, and I Dream Longing Only to Shelter You from their Accusations and their Schemes (Break) Take, Take My Hand Take a Moment Take the Future... My eyes a blur of moving forms I strain to break the dream So gentle, yet hasty, my captors act I can't decode their scheme My concience wakes, anxiety flees My friends in joyous tears Return to You by Morning's Light And End this Time of Fear

about

Experiences with the Challenges of Life.

The album is a mix of Progressive Art Rock and World Beat music, with a touch of Science Fiction for good measure.

released June 1, 2002

The title track, an instrumental, featured a guest appearance from guitarist Jim Reindel, and other tracks featured Martin Schiff on didgeridoo, with whom David Hearn collaborated in the duo Orion Starbirth.

The title was a play on words – my astronomy company is named Procyon Systems, but during this time I was both having an employment lapse as well as some domestic challenges at home, so I was serving a “penance” as it were. The symbol of the Tunnel was a metaphor of wandering through the darkness, looking for a light to find a way out. The time period was tumultuous, but it certainly served to generate some great music!
