Fates Warning - Awaken The Guardian

I'm
honestly not sure what the cover is.  I don't pay much attention
to the lyrics, but is it anything like the Guardian of Forever from
Star Trek (episode: "City on the Edge of Forever")?  That's what
the image reminds me of.

Hehe . . .

THATS why you have to get into the lyrics .  Thats what made the Arch/Matheos lyrics so

unique than other Metal/Thrash and even Prog Bands until Sabbat (uk) came onto the scene

with Martin Walkyiers lyrics .

Yes! You are correct Time Sig, "He" is the "Traveler in Time" and the Character in the song

"Exodus".  Heres where it gets pretty brilliant, that "Gate" is where he Time Travels and you

get to "Hear it", at the end of Exodus as the instruments "flange" in the fade-out, we then hear

our character (Possibly "us") going through the Gate .  Done in an interesting mix of Bass,

possibly guitars all flanged, phased backwards and Drum effects (Keyboards?).

. . . I guess I'm a hard-core GEEK to get all that when I purchased that great album soo many

years ago.  Just brilliant .

As you can see, the "Spectre Within" Character is the same "Figure" on the "Awaken the

Guardian" album  (You see more of him inside/Lyric sheet).

I hope to have time and add some cool Bands that have cool Sci-Fi/Fantasy Concepts with

accompanying Cover Art soon . . .

When I'm not soo damn tired .
