White Line Warrior
White line warrior
Heading up the Inca Trail
Silkroad Surfer
Hides behind electric veil
Foothill courier
En route to the promised land
Fuelled with a bitter taste
Torment is in her hand
Global decimation
One in ten, where worlds collide
Find the taker nation
A future lost for lack of pride
Main line quarrier
Digging up the dragon's tale
Milk wet citizen
Finds the time to read the Mail
Timeline warrior
Waking in the promised land
Works a little hasty
Though history is in his hands
Global decimation
One in ten, where worlds collide
Find the taker nation
A future lost for lack of pride
Something of a Rush pastiche, half Tom Sawyer, half Analog Kid. It has as many Lifesonesque riff cliches, changes and soloing sounds as I could think of but smothered with my own guitar noises.
It's also me doing my best to get heavy with the Geddy bass, although not since I was 13y old have I been able to sing as high as Ged. Anyway, it all builds on Klaus Tropp's thunderously wonderful Peartisms.
Now, Greg Schwaegler has kindly done some Prophet synth layers and a Minimoog solo for me and I've remixed and remastered the track. If it was originally a Permanent Waves/Moving Pictures transition song it's definitely a lost tape from the Signals sessions now! Hahahah. I remastered this February 2017...and again February 2019
Original words and music by Dave Bradley. Produced by dB
A song of history, chemistry and exploitation...
