Tribute to

Duncan Patterson

Where are you tonight?
Wild flower in starlit heaven
Still enchanted in flight
Obsessions lament to freedom

"When you're on tour , you're busy with meeting new people and you lose your stress , but it's only when you on your own and start to think that also the annoying thoughts occur."

A flood of tears bonding my soul with my mind
A dream of love, reality closing in behind
As I close my eyes, the vision dies
As I bid my last farewell to mankind

"Honestly , I don't think Darren was really able to sing."

We are just a moment in time,
A blink of an eye,
A dream for the blind,
Visions from a dying brain,
I hope you don't understand

"This time I've written a large part of the lyrics and they're a sort of realistic fairy tales . They deal with fear ,the future , ... nothing about those fictional stories about Satan and his companions."

Slipping away, I think I'm gonna crack,
Misplaced trust, loyalty stabbed in the gut.

"When you grow older , you see your dreams shattered and you notice it's getting worse , so that you only want to escape from it."

-Mindview 33 1997

I won't reproach myself this time
A condemned man, granted a sweet reprieve
A turn of fate, a genial twist of the knife
Undying affection for life
