LYRICS BELOW (click "Show More")
I am not a pessimist. People would probably say I have a sunny disposition. And yet it would be foolish to deny the dire and unprecedented times in which we now live.
As our world and human civilization teeters on the brink, with politicians and corporate plutocrats thwarting any meaningful corrective actions that so many of us support, what are we to do?
With global warming, rising seas, exponentially increasing numbers of climate refugees, destabilized governments, mass extinctions, environmental destruction, and an exploding human population, we are nearing a grim apotheosis.
It may not come in our lifetimes, but we are inexorably sliding into an abyss of our own making.

Recorded this track in Logic Pro (finally moving up from my Zoom R8 recorder), using hardware tube preamps, compressors, etc.
Guitars used: Gretsch 5622T, 1978 Guild S-60, and a Fender (Squier) Jaguar SS bass.

CHORUS:
World’s changing all around, 
we’re suicides with our planet now.
Poisoning the ocean and poisoning the land,
we’re poisoning ourselves don’t you understand?

Species dying everyday—we’re numb to extinction,
	numb to our ways.
Approaching midnight, the hands are at twelve,
we’re numb to creation, we're numb to ourselves.

CHORUS: World’s changing all around, etc.

Oceans rising, sickness abounds,
we’re staring at screens we hold in our hands.
Cheering profits—the market’s on a roll
while forests are felled and deserts expand.

Plastics fouling our rivers now,
fouling all creatures, fouling our blood.
Chemicals leaching everywhere,
we’re toxic now in our toxic cloud.

CHORUS: World’s changing all around, etc.

Now I say it—one, two, three—
we’re gone before you know it,
	gone before we’ll see.
The moon’s our witness the forests lament
we’re sliding into hell though we were heaven sent.

CHORUS: World’s changing all around, etc.

Spring brings the rising sun
Easing into summer days
Dark rain clouds and solitude
Are never too far away

Autumn is the king of thieves
Preying on the days of the old
A lifetime away from yesterday
The falling leaves and the cold

I’m running out of time
I’m last to cross the line
I’m feeling like an outcast in the depths of winter

The fools begin to win
I’m hollow deep within
Open up and let me in
All I need is shelter now...

I’m fading away
There’s a price I have to pay
For the wasted years and stupid fears
That made me what I am today.

Someone
Is waiting
To measure up your life

Balancing the wrongs and rights
Before you’re taken away
Taken away

Counting up the coffee spoons
Discarded since the days of your youth
The hinge on the door
That opens no more
The creaking sound you can’t ignore

I’m running out of time
I’m last to cross the line
I’m feeling like an outcast in the depths of winter

The fools begin to win
I’m hollow deep within
Open up and let me in
All I need is shelter now...

I’m fading away
There’s a price I have to pay
For the wasted years and stupid fears
That made me what I am today.

Four long seasons in solitude
A lease on life that can’t be renewed
In the winter of our discontent
We’re fading away
We’re fading away

Counting up the coffee spoons
Discarded since the days of your youth
The hinge on the door
That opens no more
The creaking sound that you can’t ignore

‘Riders On The Dike’ features the vocals of UK singer/songwriter Amanda Kim Sanderson. Thank you for your friendship and the way you rock the track Amanda! :) It is such a pleasure to work with you and we are mighty proud that you joined us for this song!

The cover artwork comes from an original idea from the New York Artist Louis Renzoni, who said something like that Para Lia uses the same colors like he does - so the idea of a collaboration was born. Louis artwork runs throughout the album where the artists’ work features more extensively with both featuring in an online virtual music/art exhibition:

Thank you @mrcagey @three-photons @andrew-borderick @subjecttorevision @terrywigmore @fadysporz for your feedback on the mastered stuff!

follow me, we're on the way
to make more out of today
and when we fail we change course
milestones won't move
but our creeping paths are pretty cool
we're the today's soft option fools
i don't know if it's too late
i don't know how long we'll stay
the idea is to go higher
fly over by my side
with curiosity in mind
we are on the loose
we are the riders on the dike
hand me over my fate
and stay with me along the way
if you come around i am okay
i don't know if it's too late
i don't know how long we'll stay
the idea is to go higher
fly over by my side
with curiosity in mind
we are on the loose
we are the riders on the dike
the riders on the dike
