Bassist Todd Gullion, guitarist Chris Lyon and drummer Sander Leech became acquainted at local venues while playing in different bands, not realizing that several years and numerous projects later they would cross paths again half way across the country. Lyon was the first to relocate to San Francisco and was followed a year later by Leech. The two began collaborating and searching for suitable musicians to complete their creative outlet. However it wasnt until Gullions departure from the Indianapolis based, Burn It Down, in January 1997 and his subsequent move to the bay area that the outfits line up would finally be solidified. By the summer of 97 the trio had begun writing, rehearsing intensely, recording and settling into a comfortable musical direction. Time In Malta, whose name is inspired by a combination of historical, literary and personal references, was born.

Separation
Time in Malta Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You stood by me through my darkest hour
You never left me
You stayed with me till I came around
I remember those nights when you really touched my soul
You left a light on
You knew I needed to learn some more
I'm just an empty shell
My soul has been sick for years
Fill me with your love
Touch my soul!
Separation, separation, Seperation...
From your heart

Burn my eyes
Burn my flesh
Burn my will

Empty inside
Unbearable separation
From your light

You stayed with me in my darkest hour
You stayed with me till I came around
Burned by fire, Burned by fire, Burned by fire...
Wash me





Free from the pain from this world
Free from the pain free at last!
