Once there was
Fields of gold they'll tell you
Burrows filled with love
As the tales of old remember
But the good old days are long gone

It's a simple life
Reap rewards of little value
Until eternal night stalks the air

We didn't leave it all
To watch the chosen fall
In his dominion
In his dominion

There still exists
A hell on earth so dark and
When the journey's long
Prepare yourself for your doom
No one returns from his dominion

We still have hope
For there could be a weakness
That is unforeseen
Only bravest hearts could see this
The sun will shine upon the ashes

We didn't leave it all
To watch the chosen fall
In his dominion
We didn't leave it all
To watch the chosen fall
In his dominion
We didn't leave it all
To watch the chosen fall
In his dominion
We didn't leave it all
To watch the chosen fall
In his dominion

Dominion

When the red eye turns away
You can hide in the western shade
But they'll find you once again
There's no mercy in this land

You know I'll be the last one to fall
You know I'll be the last one to fall down

When the red eye returns its gaze
You could be living for better days
But they'll find you once again
Cause the red eye always wins

You know I'll be the last one to fall
You know I'll be the last one to fall
You know I'll be the last one to fall
You know I'll be the last one to fall down

You know I'll be the last one
You know I'll be the last one
You know I'll be the last one
You know I'll be the last one to fall down

Red Eye

I've slowed to a crawl
Only good things ever happen to me
It's the last steps before the fall
What a party this turned out to be
It's the greatest sadness of all
Another blow comes momentarily
The brightest light burnt half as long
It's something that's apparent to me

Four years gone
Now the house just feels so cold
Tears did flow
I should have been there after all

Goodbye my friend
Why do good things always happen to me?
We can't choose when we fall
There's a void where my heart should be
I'll just carry on
I've still got responsibility
I'll be happy maybe later on
But that's not how it's supposed to be

Four years gone
Now the house just feels so cold
Tears did flow
I should have been there after all

Four years gone
Now the house just feels so cold
Tears did flow
I should have been there after all

Ghost In A Promised Land (Live Acoustic Session)

Initially a joke, the name Highland Android was what Glasgow musicians Chris Hilton and Kevin Monaghan always claimed their third avant garde album would be named. However, the idea was shelved when their early folk rock writing styles started to venture in a different direction and a new concept was born. 

Highland Android is a project that brings together the synthetic nature of electronic music, the heavy riffs of post-rock and progressive influences mixed with a moody blend of familiar Scottish melancholy and a knack for delivering a catchy chorus.
