Arrival
Over the horizon line arrive the vintage limousines
Tinted window renders everything in sepia
I scan the landscape for life signs
Opening the door I hear the rumble of machines
Is it early morning or a drug-induced illusion?
Smelling diesel through the dust and hearing heavy chains
Slow down, slow down, thoughts stop racing
Tires spitting gravel see the entourage escape
Running from the desert sun toward the only action
Excavator quiet now, I pound the metal door
My ribcage pounding out dire warning
Ominous gate crash into stone
The echoes die, and suddenly silence
I face the darkness alone… alone!
Sheer panic starts a chain reaction
The blood-rush feeding fear and dread
External sensory deprivation
I think I’m losing my head
Awaking from apparent chemical coma
Knocked off balance and now locked underground
Forge on, no going backward
The only opening is farther down
Yet standing in this same position
A trembling sigh to slow my heart
I need to reach some intuition
But where do I even start?
Waking from apparent chemical coma
Knocked off balance and now locked underground
Forge on, no going backward
The only opening is farther down

Cathedral
Carved out of stone, a cathedral beckons me on
Lamplight to illuminate believers’ paths
All abandoned
“Light up the world through a votive candle”
Symbol of Eternal Life in a catacomb divine
Layer upon layer upon layer of debris combine
Altar for the prayer but of the worshiper there is no
Sign
Turning away, the cathedral – cold and alone – remains
Offering a statue’s grace
Still, abandoned

Wire
invisible but if you
Try it
electric beam to cut in two
The window's only there to show you what you've lost
You might as well just walk away
Unless you fancy sending slices of you through
Rolling down the hill from whence you came
Liar!
You say you can't remember
Why you
Joined our quaint subterranea
The window’s only for emergency supplies
Like chemicals to keep us sane
So even if somehow you someday make it past
Trust me, son, you’ll just come back again
(inst)
Careful
That way you’re staring through
Quiet!
The keepers might catch on to you
The window's only there to show you what you've lost
It's only built for sad goodbyes
A bright new day is dawning right before your eyes
Too bad you're forever stuck inside

Resistor Providence, Rhode Island
Resistor is a Progressive Rock band. Their music is written and recorded using electric and acoustic guitars, voice, bass, drums, violin, flute, occasionally keyboards, and once a kazoo. Much of the music is instrumental. However, story telling plays a big part in their persona, and several of their albums contain epic length story/songs. ... more

The White Witch - A Symphonic Trilogy
by Magenta
supported by 11 fans who also own “Resistor Live from the Underground”
This is the most beautiful symphonic progressive music I have heard since I first heard Yes' Magnification nearly 20 years ago. Robert Reed's orchestrations are magnificent, and are very much on par with Trevor Rabin's film scores as well as Larry Groupe's score for Magnification. I am a french horn player, and his soaring horn parts are some of the best I have ever heard. For some reason I could not select Part1: Sacrifice as my favorite track. It is indeed my favorite.

The Second Brightest Star

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.
