The Harvest
Brighteye Brison Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Looking back on yesteryears it seems like all have disappeared in distant past, they could not last
Now those faded memories are blown away on the morning breeze and withered to dust
My mind's a maze of secrets lost, reluctant still to face the cost, no doubt you will send me the bill
Like standing on a mountaintop, I'm so afraid to make the drop and not turn away

We will start with the treatment if you'll stay
Casting all your fears aside, for sure your ego will collide with demons and ghosts, greeting their host
I'm sure as soon the work is done it's time to make another run
We're digging down deep no matter if 'm awake or fast asleep

Lay down on the bed, rest your weary head
Watch the spinning wheel, how tired it makes you feel
So how's our patient, then? Let's see the file
I sense depression setting in, can't force a smile
Let's up the medicine dosage for a while

And spring is all about. The sun is coming out from the clouds,
And he will show, as he melts away the snow, to reveal what all should know
Clearly, dearly.

Welcome to the other side. Stop and wait, don't try to hide facing your fear, breakthrough is near
We're the same you and me, all like farmers you will see
Reap what you sow, everyone knows. Don't be so blind, we're healing your mind

Down in the hole, feeling so cold. So young, too old
Think about a better life. Let us take away your knife
Padded walls, nowhere to run
Go on like this, you'll never see the sun

Darkness in my room, shackles in my bed
I guess it will be soon, I hear those voices in my head

Here, here comes the harvest, the harvest, here it comes
There, there come the farmers, the farmers, each and everyone
Here, here come the believers, the wonderful receivers stand in line
There, there come the deceivers, the wicked, the retrievers
Stand aside!





Here comes the harvest
Harvest time is here

Probably one of my favorite albums ever. The synths during "The Grand Event" (last track on the album) around 22:20 are emotive enough to make you weep

This is simply brilliant. Thanks for posting it.

Thank you so much. You're elaborating an awesome corpus of beautiful music, which we won't ever hear on the radio.

I discovered this gem after hearing on Auralmoon internet radio. They played all 20 minutes since it's a prog radio. But you are certainly correct about your prediction which you intended to say.

ProgSympho
