Lyrics:
Think for yourself you know what you need in this life
See for yourself and feel your soul come alive tonight
Here in the moment we share, trembling between the worlds we stare
Out at starlight enshrined, veiled like diamonds in...
...time can be the answer, take a chance or lose it all
It's a simple mistake to make to create love and to fall
So rise, be your master, you don't need to be a slave
Of memory ensnared in a web, in a cage
I have found my way to fly free from constraints of time
I have soared through the sky seen life far below in mind
Breathed in truth, love, serene, sailed on OCEANS OF BELIEF
Searched and found life inside, we're not just a moment in...
...time can be the answer, take a chance or lose it all
It's a simple mistake to make to create love and to fall
So rise and be your master, you don't need to be a slave
Of memory ensnared in a web, in a cage
In a web, in a cage
In a web, in a cage
In a web, in a cage

Best version. For those who kept track of their web site.

[@thephoenixcycle8854]

I agree. This version is better. The album version is good but this is better.

[@gersonesc6432]

This should be at Spotify :(

[@lucacolantoni7093]

Demo version was so amazing! I think they'd have to keep the spoken part in the end!

[@ElPachaloco]

This song is beautiful and the lyrics are underated, one of the best songs of Anathema

[@gresi5541]

literally like my 20th time to listen to this no exageration!

[@darth-imperius]

I could listen to this and any other Anathema song for the rest of time, and it still wouldn't be enough. Hell, if i had to live as long as the universe will be around, I'd still be doing this and I wouldn't get sick of it one tiny bit - quite the opposite. 💜💜💜

​@@darth-imperius hard to pick a favourite song but Restless Oblivion probably has the crown!

[@olafito18]

I also like this version more than the album version

[@javert8425]

This version was way darker and eerily paced than the final version of the album, wonder why they decided to make it lighter. Greatly prefer this one.

[@fredbourgeteau3482]

beautiful

[@fredbourgeteau3482]

thank you so much Anathema 👍 💌

[@thephoenixcycle8854]

This is really really good ❤️❤️❤️

[@Aenigmakil]

It's like if 90s Anathema had a baby with Cynic. Ahh I keep coming back to this. Anathema used to be so good 😭

[@gaetanguttermann]

Just came across this version after all these years!! Makes me afraid that I may be unaware of other Anathema great work!! Where did you find this jewel?

[@ArdaT858]

this was published on their website as a demo/promo when they were working on this album

[@yvaincreoff3412]

@@ArdaT858 And also "Angels walk among us" that was better than the album version

[@Aenigmakil]

I think they had this demo on their Myspace back in the day? This is their best song of the 2010s. I mean, that's not hard to do but still, this is the only newer age Anathema songs that I rate as highly as the 90s. Maybe Universal too.

much better of the original
