Lyrics
i found myself
in another world
i found myself
alive and well
i am the vapor
i am the gas
you be the angel
of everything
this is the land of the living
this is the land of reprisal
this is the land of the living
the living
the living
i lost myself
to wider plane
i opened up
i’m not the same
i am electric
made of wire
you be the match
i’ll be the fire
this is the land of the living
this is the land of reprisal
this is the land of the living
the living
in myself i try for you
walk a thousand miles to get us through
airways
jet planes
safe landings
no brandings
land
land

Band Thoughts:
Robin: “This took on a number of manifestations. It was demoed by Gavin and it had to go through some rhythmic changes in order for us all to enjoy playing it. It got there eventually. It was one of the more difficult ones for us to get to grips with.” -Robin
“They have this thing each year called the March Of The Living. All around the world they have it on a specific date to remember the Holocaust. And I thought that was a really intense movement. So the genesis of that became ‘The Land Of The Living’, and the song was a celebration of life. The idea that there is a karmic return to life, and how you behave is how you get treated.” -Gavin
“Land Of The Living was me trying to do a reggae song. The drum pattern was complete reggae. I’m just really into rhythm generally: rhythm is everything.” -Gavin
Staff Thoughts:
