about

One of our favourite songs from the fourth album "Alpha Omega Man" which saw something of a departure from the folk & legend roots of many older Napier's tracks.
Creating our own mythology in much the same way as the title character and revealing a more synthesizer driven approach - something we intend to return to on the sixth album.

lyrics

"Does he realise who he is? Does he know?
Is he.....self-aware?
I see.
He's obviously not ready for his new way of life
We'll have to proceed very carefully indeed"

"Citizen we're pleased to see you
Pulling through the dark traumatic times
Cautiously I'd say we're optimistic
Recovery can be a state of mind

Our medication will help you
We'll never, ever leave you on your own
Unlimited resources to protect you
Until it's safe to be alone"

"You know it's not safe to be alone"

Make me well again,
End this Hell and then
Let me feel again

Without a past, a life in limbo
All I've seen and done and loved to call my own
A desperate cry pleading for perspective
Is absent isolation all I'll know?

In my solitude
Please end this Hell
Take me back, make me well again
Be myself again

Let me live again, let me feel again, let me, let me be myself again
