True Spirit 05:19
I cannot believe
 You cannot believe
 The distances, distances
 I can see for miles
 Bouncing off the clouds 
Existing in  persistences   Do you feel so lonely 
Is it closing in?
 The only sound is silence
 And it’s deafeningly thin 
 Fly on 
 You can feel it 
 There is no wave like true spirit 

It’s a perfect place
 Such an empty space
 For listening envisaging
 I can see for miles
 In my own exile
 Glistening listening upon the sea

 On a dark horizon 
In a lonely world
 You are all that keeps me in my perfect swirl

 Fly on 
 You can feel it
 There is no wave like true spirit

 Fly on 
 Just believe it 
There is no wave like true spirit Do you feel so lonely  
Is it closing in?
 The only sound is silence
 And it’s deafeningly thin Fly on  
You can feel it 
There is no wave like true spirit 

Fly on 
 Just believe it 
There is no wave like true spirit

A Little Differently They say that love is all you need and I agree But who I give it to and what that means won’t be defined for me Two souls in harmony create a song And when that music sounds so right it can’t be wrong No you can’t fight it Just put your signs away You’re so misguided Will you ever learn that Love is love and you can’t legislate it Love is love don’t try to subjugate it The wool that’s on your eyes won’t let you see Every color in the rainbow shines a little differently You turn your back on them for who they love But any law commanding hate well that ain’t from above You wouldn’t hide it Not if you were in their shoes No one decided Who is right or wrong cause Love is love don’t try to analyze it Love is love no one can demonize it Love is love for any two who feel it Love is love the truth is there reveal it You know it feels so good to love With no condition Sisters and brothers No one to judge Love is love

Deep inside of you, a battle is raging Your demons and your better angels strive Fighting to contain the war that is waging If you lose your hold on the darkness, who can survive? Where did it all go so wrong? Were you born so broken? Must we all pay for your pain? It looks to me like you just don’t care To see the blazing forest through the trees The altar of corruption where you say your every prayer Brings even mad kings to their knees With moral atrophy and conscience at zero The war inside you spills onto the earth The saints and gods you glorify The power and the wealth Have left you blinded to life’s worth Children dying The power’s in your hands to kill or to save

When I look in your silent eyes They grip my heart, it’s no surprise What have they done to your young soul? It takes my breath away, it hurts me so The things you’ve seen burned in so deep The scenes replay, each time you sleep Will light return? Can hope survive? And breathe life in to your silent eyes

The human being is capable of everything The human being is capable of everything When we're at our best Our potential has no end With compassion and selfless hearts We would redefine what’ s possible We gave the world humanity and art The beauty of philosophy and culture Caring for the needy and helpless As we dream of a better future The human being is capable of everything The human being is capable of everything philosophy and culture humanity and art The human being is capable of everything

Fear Let’s show we have no fear To all mankind Let the World know Let the World know Let the World know That we are more Here Let’s show the world we’re here Let’s give a sign See How brave we all can be When we align Let the World know Let the World know Let the World know That we are more We are more We are more Let the World know Let the World know That we are more

When the sunrise painstakingly dissolve the drastic shadows of the night and casting light on the hidden, The confidence returns. The grey gives way and autumn shows its colors The mystery loose importance That seems so obvious Every breath makes clear the nature close a chapter The sun is low and calm But you are there to catch me if I’m fall To catch me if I’m fall Light is the answer to us all

about

Like its predecessors, "Helix" also offers an enormous bandwidth without forgetting its roots of progressive rock.
Especially the "Response-Suite", with over 17 minutes the longest piece on the album, should be mentioned here.
Or also the three-part "Exploring my DNA" which revives the golden years of progressive rock.
"Helix" offers a wealth of musical ideas. Which you probably can expect, when artists like Todd Sucherman, Marco Minnemann, Pete Trewavas, John Mitchell, Steven Rothery, Jake Livgren, Finally George, Lars Slowak and others working together.
With their latest work, a single run thru won’t make any sense - there is simply too much to discover when listening again and again.
Highly recommended to fans of ELP, Yes, Kansas and the Like. Or to people who simply love great music.
If you have liked “The Penrose Triangle”, you will dig “Helix” as much.

Many thanks to Todd, Marco, Pete, Jake, John, Steve & Carsten for their incredible contributions to this album.
Greetings to Bill, Konstanze and Clemens.
Special thanks to my best friends Georg & Lars.
Love to my family, a life without you is unimaginable.

What was meant to be a one off is now experiencing its fourth album.
It's just too much fun to work with these exceptional musicians. And also the response to our music has grown in recent years, for which I am of course very grateful.
And so I also hope that this new music will bring as much joy to all listeners as it was fun for us to make this album.

Peace and love to you all,
Frank
