about
This is a song about a genuine clock being built by the Long Now foundation in America. The clock is designed to keep accurate time for 10,000 years.
lyrics
Ten thousand years
Marking out time
What will it see?
As the years tick away?
A pulse is beating deep in the heart of a mountain, measuring five kinds of time
(10,000 years from now and you’re still here, you will outlast us all)
Each time it chimes it plays a different melody, how many tunes/songs does it know?
(10,000 years from now and you will never once repeat yourself)
10,000 years (10,000 years)
Marking out time (as the years go by)
What will it see? (10,000 years)
as the years and the decades tick by
Mechanical multi-millennial monument, hundreds of feet through the earth
(500 foot tall architectural subterranean edifice)
Pendulum, solar-synchronisation, making dynamical time
(eighty-six thousand four hundred seconds charted every day)
10,000 years (10,000 years)
Marking out time (as the years go by)
What will it see (10,000 years)
as the decades and centuries tick by
I can’t imagine the future, but I know I’m part of a story
Are we being good ancestors?
Titanium pendulum
Shielded by quartz class
Sapphire cupola
High molybdenum
Stainless steel mechanism
Ceramic ball-bearings
10,000 years (10,000 years)
Marking out time (as the years go by)
What will it see? (10,000 years)
as the years tick away
as the decades and centuries tick by
as the years and the decades and centuries and millennia tick by

Fantasy progressive rock is not something I'd ever thought of. Yet Foreign Land, especially the Foreign Land track itself, transported me straight into an unknown, magical fantasy world. Hakim Zulkufli

Absolutely hooked on this album from first listen. How rare is that with prog!??? Excellent songwriting and musicianship. Can’t wait to dive into the rest of the collection. Thomas Lock

BBT are standard bearers for modern prog, with a sound that evokes the spirit of those legendary 70s bands whilst managing to also be thoroughly contemporary. It's astonishing that over 30 minutes of music of this quality, with such high production values, is being made available for free - and their full albums are also very reasonably priced...
