Without borders or gates, orders or states, there was so much we shared,
So they poisoned our dreams, with their greed and their schemes. We had them running scared.
For a moment in time, bizarre and sublime, we though we could change it all.
Till a witch’s dark curse, mean and perverse, brought about nightfall.
Waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and waiting.
Waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and waiting.
Alone in the darkness in anticipation, no starlight or moonshine.
Too many years spent in procrastination without any clear sign.
Losing direction we found isolation, falling in line.
Then a moment of rapture in deep contemplation. A buzz on the grapevine.
Here, waiting for the sound of the dawn.
Here, waiting for the sound of the dawn.
Far underground where the roots have been growing, the power of the good earth.
Who could have dreamt that the seeds we were sowing would bring forth new life?
The bigoted sleeping with none of them knowing its real worth.
No cynical screeching or nihilist crowing can slow down its rebirth.
Here, listening to the sound of the dawn.
Here, listening to the sound of the dawn.
Joining together, the movement is stirring. The light of a new day.
The landscape is changing, the world rearranging to nature’s way.
No distortions, or blurring, the message we’re sharing will lead us astray.
Try all they may, there will be no deterring. We’re here to stay.
Here, dancing to the sound of the dawn.
Here, dancing to the sound of the dawn.
Here, dancing to the sound of the dawn.
Here, dancing to the sound of the dawn.
Here, dancing to the sound of the dawn.
Here, dancing to the sound of the dawn.

Fantasy progressive rock is not something I'd ever thought of. Yet Foreign Land, especially the Foreign Land track itself, transported me straight into an unknown, magical fantasy world. Hakim Zulkufli
The Long Island metal band's third album etches arena-sized hooks into their jagged compositions, deftly balancing experimental and poppy inclinations. Bandcamp Album of the Day May 12, 2022
Throwing mathcore, emo, and ambient into the mix, Estonia's Kaschalot push progressive rock's multitasking approach to its limits. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 10, 2021
Soothfully a phenomenal prog rock album—an instant classic. What motivates me to say so, is the music’s incredible expressiveness & its wonderfully cinematic song structures. Jargon is a very good fit with this band. It is quite evident that the band’s current lineup have great chemistry together & that they share a common affinity to this vein of music. I look forward to their next creation. Drifting Sun are definitely one of prog rock’s brightest lights. Thank you, DS!
9+/10. Alrihkh
