White Line Warrior

White line warrior
Heading up the Inca Trail
Silkroad Surfer
Hides behind electric veil

Foothill courier
En route to the promised land
Fuelled with a bitter taste
Torment is in her hand

Global decimation
One in ten, where worlds collide
Find the taker nation
A future lost for lack of pride

Main line quarrier
Digging up the dragon's tale
Milk wet citizen
Finds the time to read the Mail

Timeline warrior
Waking in the promised land
Works a little hasty
Though history is in his hands

Global decimation
One in ten, where worlds collide
Find the taker nation
A future lost for lack of pride

Something of a Rush pastiche, half Tom Sawyer, half Analog Kid. It has as many Lifesonesque riff cliches, changes and soloing sounds as I could think of but smothered with my own guitar noises.

It's also me doing my best to get heavy with the Geddy bass, although not since I was 13y old have I been able to sing as high as Ged. Anyway, it all builds on Klaus Tropp's thunderously wonderful Peartisms.

Now, Greg Schwaegler has kindly done some Prophet synth layers and a Minimoog solo for me and I've remixed and remastered the track. If it was originally a Permanent Waves/Moving Pictures transition song it's definitely a lost tape from the Signals sessions now! Hahahah.

Original words and music by Dave Bradley. Produced by dB

A song of history, chemistry and exploitation...
