Mad Kings 05:34
Mad Kings Welcome to the wild west Where the guns are free But you pay when you get shot Technologically obsessed We beg our screens to give us our next thought And all the while the fat cats sit Upon the golden thrones Smiling as the nations split Were leaderless and on our own These Mad Kings rule the world just living for today They burn it down and use it up, We can’t go on this way A cult of personality The shepherd speaks And the eager flock believes Alternate realities Where blind devotion Trumps morality And through the halls of freedoms seat The traitor’s flags are flown When the truth is obsolete The seeds of our collapse are sown These Mad Kings steal the world and feed on our decay The only god they know is chaos, the holy disarray These Mad Kings fool the world and make the games we play They pull the strings and watch us dance. We‘ve got to turn away. Give us this day our daily dead (It is what it is) Its such a small price to pay (pay and pay and pay) Never mind the little guy struggling for breath (It is what it is) I never had his vote anyway These Mad Kings run and hide but tell us its okay They watch the fallen piling up, in lavish hideaways. These Mad Kings charm the weak and lead them all astray The time has come to break the spell. The time to come awake. All over the world, Come awake

about

This is the third album from the pilots. And from what I can recall from over the last one and a half years, this is the largest production we have done so far.
The musicians have been fantastic (as usual) and there have been many moments when I thought: this can’t get any better.
While this album is not only a progressive piece, but also consists of some popular influences, I personally feel it is great that this release is in the same year when we celebrate the 50th anniversary of “Tarkus” which I consider to be the absolute masterpiece in progressive rock (look out for an Easter egg in one of the tracks).

A big thanks goes to my friends and mates Todd Sucherman,
Marco Minnemann, Pete Trewavas, Lars Slowak, John Mitchell,
Finally George, Steven Rothery, Jake Livgren, Bill Evans,
Ricky Garcia and Eric Gillette.
Additional thanks to Konstanze, Clemens Väth, Micho for finalising the artwork, Mr. T & Dr.Igelmann.
An acknowledgment goes also to the buyers of this CD, helping to cover the costs.
Without you, a production like this wouldn’t be possible.
