Reason--anyone know this band?

I think we discussed this band here late last year. Their debut CD "The Darkest Star" was released last year. The music is melodic metal with some progressive elements. The lyrics are definitely spiritual if not almost Christian in nature. But, the artwork on the cover had the "Holy Spirit dove" emblem that many Pentecostal and non-denominational churches use. So, are they a Christian band or just a bunch of rockers who want to play for both secular and Christian audiences?

Here's their website if you're interested: http://www.reason-music.com/index.html

Maybe that's the case.

Listening to the songs and it sound nice.

I sent the band an email regarding their faith. Here is the reply I got:

Quote :: Thank you for your email... it`s always good to know that someone is listening!

To answer your question, we are not a Christian band. This isn`t the
first time we have been asked that, and I can see why our lyrics could
be interpreted that way. I guess we would like to think that the song
themes could be interpreted any way you like. We try to steer clear of
the stereotypical rock/metal attitude for sure!

I hope that you enjoyed the music anyhow!

o Before The Dawn (music & lyrics C.Gyngell)
Verse 1:
Reach for the poison that kills all your fears
Twisted emotions, the wealth of your years
In for the action, the thrill of it all
A deadly attraction........
Mind racing faster, the journey begins
Flying the skies on oblivion`s wings
Rush in the bloodstream, a fire in the soul
The seeds of a bad dream....

Bridge:
High - ready to face the night
High - ready to lose the fight

Chorus:

Afraid to sleep, your fear runs deep – there`ll be a nightmare before the dawn
You chose the lie, and said goodbye to the life that you knew before...

Verse 2:
Burning elation, beginning to fade
No levitation, you`re falling away
A chill in your veins how anxiety crawls
A twist in the game now....

Bridge:
High - ready to face the night

Chorus:
Afraid to sleep, your fear runs deep – there`ll be a nightmare before the dawn,
You chose the lie, and said goodbye to the life that you knew before,
Inside your mind, black visions writhe – in the darkness they grip your soul,
Fated to hide your pain inside – ever lonely, facing the nightmare alone….

Verse 3:
Life in denial, you`re losing your hold
Walls building higher, now you are enclosed
There`s nothing left now, reality`s end
You`re racing to death now....

Bridge:
High - ready to face the night

Chorus:
Afraid to sleep, your fear runs deep – there`ll be a nightmare before the dawn,
You chose the lie, and said goodbye to the life that you knew before,
Inside your mind, black visions writhe – in the darkness they grip your soul,
Fated to hide your pain inside – ever lonely, facing the nightmare alone….

Life To A Flame (music & lyrics C.Gyngell)
Verse 1:
One life in the human consience
One chance for you to ascend
Time flies as you look away
Never to return again
Dark images from your memory
Flash by like on celluloid
Like smoke or a faded picture
Slip away.........

Chorus:
Life to a flame - burning away
Life to a flame - shorter each day
Changing in time - destined to fade
Life to a flame

Verse 2:
Don`t sell all your dreams for diamonds
Don`t act on the words of fools
Hold on to the time that`s yours
And it will come back to you
Don`t offer your soul in twilight
Don`t wish on a man-made star
Start living with open eyes
Realise..........

Chorus:
Life to a flame - burning away
Life to a flame - shorter each day
Changing in time - destined to fade
Life to a flame

Chorus:
Life to a flame - burning away
Life to a flame - shorter each day
Changing in time - destined to fade
Life to a flame

The Darkest Star (music & lyrics C.Gyngell)
Verse 1:
Don`t you remember? I need to forget,
Things I resented are not faded yet,
Whispering softly, words never said,
Calling me.
All that I`m touching I never feel,
Living each day but it never seems real,
Over and over, a recurring dream,
Calling me..
Haunting me.

Chorus:
Sanity I don`t know where you are,
I`ve been living under the darkest star.
Memory the unattended scar,
Reaching out to me from afar, the darkest star.

Verse 2:
I hear some rumours, all in my head,
I have some thoughts but they`re all over-read,
Ghosts of a lifetime under my bed,
Haunting me.
Crying for reason, and living in fear,
Thoughts of redemption but I can`t get near,
Voices are talking when nobody hears,
Haunting me.
Calling me..

Chorus:
Sanity I don`t know where you are,
I`ve been living under the darkest star.
Memory the unattended scar,
Reaching out to me from afar, the darkest star.

Chorus:
Sanity I don`t know where you are,
I`ve been living under the darkest star.
Memory the unattended scar,
Reaching out to me from afar, the darkest star.

Rise (music & lyrics C.Gyngell)
Verse 1:
Midnight arrives
A look of uncertainty in our eyes
This time
It looks like the end of the line

Bridge:
Led by deceivers
We`re living a lie
Now we must face the day
When the demons rise
They rise
They rise

Verse 2:
Our world will die
Greed of the nations will override
This time
Hell has its` jaws open wide

Bridge:
There`ll be no saviours
No hope from the skies
As we await the day
When the demons rise
They rise

Bridge:
Led by deceivers
We`re living a lie
Now we must face the day
When the demons rise
They rise
They rise

The All-Seeing Eye (music & lyrics C.Gyngell)
Verse 1:
You`ve got the feeling that something is watching you,
Look all around but nothing`s there,
I can`t be seen or heard I track your every move,
You feel the judgement in my stare..

Chorus:
Life on trial, no denial,
I`m always watching you, the All-Seeing Eye..

Verse 2:
A sudden fearful notion throws you from your sleep;
Was it a dream or was it real?
You hear me calling to you, even in your dreams,
I censor everything you feel..

Chorus:
Life on trial, no denial,
I`m always watching you, the All-Seeing Eye,
Unrelenting, never-ending,
A witness to your truth, the All-Seeing Eye..

Middle 8:
Since the moment you were born, I`ve been inside of you,
I control your thoughts, your mind, your soul,
Not a God, not a machine, I am your conscience true..

Chorus:
Life on trial, no denial,
I`m always watching you, the All-Seeing Eye,
Unrelenting, never-ending,
A witness to your truth, the All-Seeing Eye..

Another World (music & lyrics C.Gyngell)
Verse 1:
To the light we are drawn,
Second sight only guided by what we feel,
We try but there`s no way out, no…
Fire burning on,
Precious life always searching for something real,
We fly but there`s no way out from here..

Chorus:
Show me a lifeline into another world
Once in a lifetime, this is another world

Verse 2:
On and on, never end,
We are strong, we are fighting to still believe,
Believe that there`s some way out, oh,
Run for the light,
We`ve begun to learn that we can be free,
To learn that there` some way out from here..

Chorus:
Show me a lifeline into another world
Caught in the headlights, drawn to the other world
Nearing the deadline, never have time to kill
Once in a lifetime, this is another world

Middle 8:
We`re given a plan of action, it means nothing to me,
All part of a chain reaction, we all need to be free..

Chorus:
Show me a lifeline into another world
Caught in the headlights, drawn to the other world
Nearing the deadline, never have time to kill
Once in a lifetime, this is another world

Forever (music & lyrics C.Gyngell)
Verse 1:
We stand on the edge of wonder,
Deep vision will pull us under,
We only see just what we want to see..
Ahead an amazing journey,
Where fires of life are burning,
Where we can be just what we want to be..

Bridge:
Dream come to life,
In a world of insight,
Only in our make-believe illusion will survive..

Chorus:
You & me, our fantasy, we can make it last forever,
Never see reality or the coming of our time,
You & me, infinity, we can make it last forever,
Never see reality or the coming of our time..

Verse 2:
No longer the disillusioned,
Now living without confusion,
Future is ours, just what we want to see,
Our lives are an open ocean,
The wheels are set in motion,
Now we can be just what we want to be..

Bridge:
Hearts always win,
If you start from within,
Dreamers will find a way, escape the world we`re in..

Chorus:
You & me, our fantasy, we can make it last forever,
Never see reality or the coming of our time,
You & me, infinity, we can make it last forever,
Never see reality or the coming of our time..

Evil Angel (music & lyrics C.Gyngell)
Verse 1:
Misty dawn in another time,
A bolt of light flashes through the leaden sky,
Cast to earth, unwanted son,
To walk with men, and spread your hurt to everyone, everyone..

Verse 2:
Fear struck into every heart,
A disease, human kind was torn apart,
Bringing fear on a deadly tide,
Darkest hour, truth and hope were swept aside..

Bridge:
Planets align,
Serpents entwine,
Now is the time..

Chorus:
Evil angel spread your wings,
Ride the darkness sorrow brings,
Leave our world before you pull us under,
Fallen angel, to the sky,
Heaven`s exile, now arise,
You won`t be the one to pull us under.

Verse 3:
You will pay for our tragedy,
Poison child, you can`t change our destiny,
We will rise to reverse the score,
To avenge, cast you out for evermore..

Bridge:
Planets align,
Serpents entwine,
Now is the time..

Chorus:
Evil angel spread your wings,
Ride the darkness sorrow brings,
Leave our world before you pull us under,
Fallen angel, to the sky,
Heaven`s exile, now arise,
You won`t be the one to pull us under.

Bridge:
Planets align,
Serpents entwine,
Now is the time..

Chorus:
Evil angel spread your wings,
Ride the darkness sorrow brings,
Leave our world before you pull us under,
Fallen angel, to the sky,
Heaven`s exile, now arise,
You won`t be the one to pull us under.

Cool Starry Night (music & lyrics C.Gyngell)
Verse 1:
Summer`s end, long shadows fall,
Dancing white aligns the shore,
Western skies, fiery light will fade..
Setting sun calls on the night,
Slow decent in western flight,
Rushing tides break the quiet alone..

Chorus:
Cool starry night
All fears take flight
Breeze through my soul
You take me home..

Verse 2:
Skies viewed through a smoky veil,
Pinpoint stars and vapour trails,
Conscious world begins to spin away..

Chorus:
Cool starry night
All fears take flight
Breeze through my soul
You take me home..
