This was written in South Africa in 1987, a few years before the release of Nelson Mandela - really digging into the archives here! It was one of a handful of songs co-written with Pravinand (@johnny-minstrel). I had the first verse and an inkling of a melody, and Pravinand finished it off. We were very chuffed by the end result. Hope you like it.

The Prisoner (Peters/Maharaj)

The empty space he feared
Was fixed between his ears
To live is but to bear
The scourge of twilight years
He lost the strength to fight
He lost the will to live
For all that was his right
They took away from him

He cannot move his arms
The iron weighs him down
His feet, they cannot dance
He feels no joyful sound
He alone must grieve
The toll of passing years
He alone must feel
The loneliness and fears

His eyes reflect the pain
A man should never bear
How long will he sustain
To hurt for what is fair
And in the dark he prays
No one hears his heart
Except the one who made
Man from dust and blood

Negative Space

It is though the curtain of time is drawn back for a glimpse outside of it--an infinity that beggars description, but Peter's lovely poetry opens a window of understanding as Dan and Seagull serenade the farthest reaches of thought.
Peter's reading:

I spin, and map the tracks of time,
Recalling of my many futures,
Scheming plans for all my pasts.
Flashed sequences of “now” enact a line
Limply held by memory sutures
To stitch a lifespan's ragged wound,…..while each imperfect “present” lasts.

But no such thing as “is”, just “was” and “will”
As history loops perpetual in spirals all of varied speed
A myriad of parallel, infinity-bound, the great design
Will miss their tryst as the pendulum continues still
And those that seek to quench their viral knowledge need
Will always be, but never fully found,…......until they step Outside of Time.

Outside Of Time (Dan-t, Peter, Seagull)

LYRICS:
Do you think you're ready for what I've got on my mind?
You think that you've got me but instead I think you'll find...

All the noise I push away
Set the mark and struck the vein
And it's going to bring the pain
Cause I don't fucking need you

As night rolls over to day
Every word you have to say
Brings a smile onto my face
Cause I know I'm gonna hurt you

Never needed you anyway
You made the bed in which you lay
Now you're feeling dead and grey
Cause I didn't let you haunt me
Never needed you anyway
You made the bed in which you lay
Now you're feeling dead and grey
Cause I didn't let you haunt me

Every time you speak it's like a razor up my spine
It's not worth pretending everything is good and fine
Maybe you'll cut into me the way I do to you
Love or hate me for everything that I ever do

All the noise I push away
Set the mark and struck the vein
And it's going to bring the pain
Cause I don't fucking need you

As night rolls over to day
Every word you have to say
Brings a smile onto my face
Cause I know I'm gonna hurt you

Never needed you anyway
You made the bed in which you lay
Now you're feeling dead and grey
Cause I didn't let you haunt me

Too bad for me
Too bad for you

All the noise I push away
Set the mark and struck the vein
And it's going to bring the pain
Cause I don't fucking need you

As night rolls over to day
Every word you have to say
Brings a smile onto my face
Cause I know I'm gonna hurt you

Never needed you anyway
You made the bed in which you lay
Now you're feeling dead and grey
Cause I didn't let you haunt me
Never needed you anyway
You made the bed in which you lay
Now you're feeling dead and grey
Cause I didn't let you haunt me
