And skipping ahead a bit:

By hunger within was I flooded and freed
I wanted to lift a whole populace

The writer, or person experiencing these epiphanies, naturally wants to teach others, and lead others to this magnificent understanding. To understand that the world is so much more than we had at first thought it was.

But these lines:

Thrusting up into a fertile heaven
I pulled for a second then I left it to itself
I opened the box and looked on.

Seem incongruous to the rest of the work. I'm not sure what to make of them. Is the writer trying to grasp at his religious past one last time, only to give up in the end, or am I missing something else here in the literary device of the box. I'm not sure. I'll have to defer that one to Kurt himself to explain.

Taking cues from jazz, fusion, rock, and classical traditions, these guys don't fail to produce some unique and interesting tunes. Drawing us in with unique use of dissonance, rhythm, and meter, they never fail to present anything less than quality musicianship. I highly recommend this CD to anyone who has an ear for good Progressive Rock.
