about

Alone In the world is the musical crux of Moments From Ephemeral City.

It covers a lot of ground in terms of mood and dynamic, and if you can bare with it through to the end I'm sure you'll be musically rewarded in one way or another; I like to think there's something here for everyone.

If I were to sum up Caligula's Horse in a single track, it would undoubtably be this.

Also, here's a video of me performing the first guitar solo:

lyrics

Alone In The World
Lyrics by Sam Vallen

You’re gone
You’re lost in a world of your own design
Alone,
Humanity’s long since been left behind

And would you believe that I once felt your pain?
(Although it’s far behind me now)
It seems so strange to me that in pain you still believe

And I see a light ahead
A template for all my ambitions
Life lays bare before
Meaning disinterred
I’m welcoming my liberation

Moral,
You call me what you will and cast me away
I know
And in the depth of my ignorance I’m not afraid

And would you believe that I once felt your pain?
It seems so strange to me that in pain you still believe

And I see a light ahead
A template for all my ambitions
As a new day dawns
On an empty world
I’m welcoming my liberation

I’m alone in the world
A husk fading petty and destined
And I stay my mind
From futile tries at
Reaching for exoneration

I’m lost in the stars above
Consumed in my reflection
Distracted from my condemnation
They join me in consciousness

I can’t
Remember a time when days flickered
Like their cold light
Care passed like season
And love was free of all reason.

My reason is as trivial as senses pervaded by a final nostalgic scent
I inhale once more
Knowing the dreams I won’t live don’t matter

(Leave It Behind)
