Spock's Beard - To Breathe Another Day Lyrics






It's always good to see your face my friend
No need to seek redemption
The gods we made won't pass this way again
Embrace the storm's ascension

I crossed the bridge out of the promised land
Making plans to slip the hands of fate
Following the grand design
Where all the planets spin aligned
And I'm alive to breathe another day

I ran the rivers to the sea
Dark waters cold and churning
The depths divided you and me
The last boat left was burning

And as I heard the sirens' call
Like shivers down the knife's edge
Ten words appeared upon the wall
Scrawled in an ancient language

I crossed the bridge out of the promised land
Making plans to slip the hands of fate
Following the grand design
Where all the planets spin aligned
And I'm alive to breathe another day

Following the grand design
Where all the planets spin aligned
And I'm alive to breathe another day

Hunting creatures of our own inventions
Fossils for a future riverbed
Chapters of a drama yet unwritten
Chasing dust of stranger days ahead

I crossed the bridge out of the promised land
Making plans to slip the hands of fate
Following the grand design
Where all the planets spin aligned
And I'm alive to breathe another day

Spock's Beard To Breathe Another Day Comments
  1. J.... R....

    Sounds like a mix between Kansas and Deep Purple.

  2. a.... n....

    To Breathe Another Day Is A Great Straight Up Rock Song And Fantastic Wonderful Masterpiece By SPOCK'S BEARD.

  3. R.... T....

    It's a toss-up between Ted's closet and Dave's tool shed....

  4. L.... P....

    Noise floor is an interesting album. It’s no Day for Night or TKOS at all. Those albums left when Neil did but I like that SB is still trying to put out more albums. So for that I applaud all of them.

  5. R.... J....

    This sounds like an early 90s cartoon opening.

  6. c.... ....

    Keeping Prog alive. Long Live Prog!

  7. M.... M....

    El bajo (bass guitar) suena brutal !!

  8. J.... M....

    💐✨💜✨💐

  9. O.... U....

    Awesome stuff going on here! love it! prog on!

  10. b.... ....

    THE MOST UGLY AND INUTILE GROUP OF THE WORLD...ONLY YES THEY DO!

  11. g.... ....

    Spock's Beard? So, does that mean this band is evil?

  12. J.... M....

    sounds like 80s Kansas

  13. s.... 8....

    Awesome song-deserves a better quality video(yeah, talking to you inside out music!!!)

  14. G.... M....

    Ted Leonard delivers again.

  15. m.... ....

    If they wanted to make a video to get people to not listen to them, this would do that. The music is great. The video really sucks.

  16. A.... ....

    Opening chords remind me a bit of mid-80s Rush. Not a bad thing.

  17. r.... ....

    i wonder how much budget for this video

  18. P.... ....

    Featured on ProgRock https://www.facebook.com/groups/ProgRockDan/

  19. s.... ....

    Where is Nick?

  20. V.... F....

    Fantastic!!

  21. W.... ....

    This is one part fantastic, one part pretentious, and two parts absolutely fucking ridiculous.

  22. C.... L....

    I'm a huge fan of the Beard but this video is hilarious! Dave with his silk shirt and wind machine kept me in stitches every time the camera cut to him and the singer Ted Leonard has crazy eyes and is recording (or at least lip syncing) from a little room with a Sesame Street puppet in the background. I know prog bands don't have a lot of money for a high end video production but the backgrounds could have been a lot better. The good news is the album is awesome through and through - love this song and all the rest! Great job guys (on the music) lol

  23. d.... e....

    @2:13...Ted and the Goblet of Rock!

  24. J.... P....

    I totally got the concept...https://youtu.be/0SiajhcIiIg

  25. m.... c....

    Leonard made this band great,that dude should also be in Kansas

  26. T.... L....

    Wooohooo! ROCK AND ROLL!!! One of my favorite bands! Thank you.

  27. V.... d....

    I'm trying to figure out the lyrics for the chorus at least, can anyone help me?

    V.... d....

    I'll post from MusixMatch

  28. M.... W....

    SB needs to know about FE...

  29. S.... o....

    What is that bass? Looks like a Rick mated with a Fender.

  30. K.... A....

    what a low budget video.

  31. D.... C....

    Great song! Welcome back!

  32. T.... J....

    I love this one. Elements of Yes and Kansas with their own unique flair. This is like ear candy.

  33. S.... ....

    With the sparkly shirt and box fan in the tool shed. Pure gold.

  34. P.... ....

    Boy I love these guys and their MUSIC...Is the christian thing the one I can not stand! Musically? Awesome!!! Miss Nick here though.

  35. o.... ....

    The Beard´s are back. It´s a feast for me. I have ordered the new Output.

  36. F.... D....

    As much as I love Ted and Enchant, I wish Nick was still doing main vocals for Spock's :(

  37. �.... ....

    I have this Album, I bought at the same day of realise 25.5.2018. SSUUPPEERR ALBUM.

  38. a.... l....

    Chris...drummer... if u don't get the gig... I need a drummer asap... text/call me 702-929-4049 thanks alex

  39. J.... P....

    The wait for this album almost feels criminal. That being said, they should have done this video with Muppets. And no...I'm not kidding.

    J.... P....

    Butt they did!

  40. f.... ....

    Way to rock the shiny shirt and fan blowing the hair, Dave!

  41. m.... c....

    Ted Leonard should have joined Kansas

  42. N.... F....

    That fan seeing is so high that even the spanner at the back is moving

  43. E.... D....

    This is so dads band. Love it!

  44. T.... G....

    last 2 cds almost impossible to get that dreaded burnout where they never ever sound as good again. hope this one the same ted leonard awesome in enchant even more with the beard

  45. r.... ....

    if you absolutelly must release a song on yt, 6min of blank screen would've been a better option for this video. :(
    a band that big can't be that unprofessional.

  46. A.... K....

    nice song :) but i prefer don't see the video for not mess up my immagination :) it's terrible :*

  47. 9.... ....

    These guy are really good.

  48. i.... ....

    Dave's Frickenbocker is too cool. Liked the song even more on the 2nd run thru.

  49. �.... ....

    true musicians

  50. R.... ....

    It's great to see Neal back with SB. Awesome music.

  51. J.... W....

    Unbelievable! Loved it! Dave love the shirt, and the set...

  52. j.... s....

    Nick is not in the band anymore ???!??!

  53. L.... ....

    big budget video, great production!

  54. B.... C....

    Kinda reminds me of Yes' Drama album. Awesome!

  55. B.... E....

    Greetings from Poland / Witam z Polski :-D

    �.... ....

    "Octabe" - - is that the 8-legged girl???

  58. �.... ....

    Spocks Beard - Noise Floor.
    Greetings from Poland / Witam z polski.

  59. T.... D....

    Bass face!

  60. F.... D....

    New single!!!

  61. Z.... P....

    I don’t think this is an official video because there’s no footage of the drummer

  62. B.... B....

    Ryo's wall is corporate

  63. B.... L....

    My problem with S´sB is that they are a little to full of them self.

  64. H.... ....

    Holy Prog Batman !!!

  65. S.... V....

    Ted has a great voice but I wish he wouldn't push it to the limit so much. It sounds strained, and in places something odd happens to it. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should, Ted. Gotta look after those pipes, look at the mess Ian Anderson's voice is in now. As for the drummer dilemma - would it be possible to hire a local drummer/vocalist for different sections of the tour? E.G. a British guy for UK (and maybe Europe) dates. I guess you'd have to fly 'em over for rehearsals, which would bump the cost up.... ok, shit idea. ;-)

  66. S.... E....

    Vocals sound like Charlie Dominici off the first Dream Theater album.

    S.... E....

    finally some reasonable comment :)

  67. B.... ....

    Wait, Mike Portnoy wasn't available for the video?

  68. M.... ....

    Keep on rocking it boys! This could be the lowest budget video I've ever seen, but it does have it's charm, and the music is great! A Day One purchase for me for sure!

  69. T.... W....

    Ryo is Rock 'n' Roll. Nuff said.

  70. S.... ....

    Love it! Great song!

  71. G.... H....

    Love Spock's Beard. Kind of lost track of them the last few years, but this is refreshing!!

  72. l.... f....

    I love the blue puppet with Guitar in the ass

    l.... f....

    The Cookie Monster, I believe.

    l.... f....

    Yeah, I notice that, too. LOL.

    l.... f....

    @David Coleman Cookie Monster has no nose, is darker and has uneven eyes.😅

  73. s.... ....

    This is great!

  74. *.... ....

    Prog Energy Song. Grandi Spock's Beard

  75. t.... ....

    No camera on the drums!!

  76. M.... K....

    Looking forward to see you back in The Netherlands again :). Any news on the tour and who will do the drum parts? If Nick is unable to reserve time for a European tour my bets are on Collin Leijenaar.

    M.... K....

    Colin was my first thought, too (he's amazing). I've been told he's not playing anymore due to hand injuries. :((

    M.... K....

    Amazing he is indeed! Ouch, that's a bummer. Hope he recovers. I know he played a couple of gigs in january as he became the drummer for Kayak.
    What about Eric Gilette? Does he have some spare time in his busy schedule? :)

    M.... K....

    I hope that means he's doing well. I would imagine Eric is pretty busy with NBM and other stuff but I'm only guessing.

  77. R.... L....

    You guys are genius!

  78. E.... D....

    Good music, bad video

  79. A.... M....

    absolutely great!!!!

  80. R.... C....

    was this made on chatroulette?

  81. a.... ....

    Nick D'Virgilio ?, no esta invitado en la grabación del video???

  82. j.... ....

    Who is playing drums?

    j.... ....

    Nick D’Virgilio ... but he’s just guesting on the album.

  83. L.... C....

    Very good!!!! ♥️♥️♥️

  84. E.... M....

    Yessssssss!!! Great vid lol

  85. e.... ....

    Yoko on keyboards...

  86. J.... S....

    You KNOW it's them right off the bat!! YAY!

  87. M.... ....

    I’m just glad Dave’s wife didn’t pull the car in during the middle of the song.

  88. R.... D....

    Great opening track to what will most likely be another great album. Long live the Beard!!!

  89. J.... T....

    Yay! I've been waiting impatiently for what seems like years! Can't wait to buy the cd!

  90. y.... ....

    Love the instrumental break starting around 3:19. Great stuff guys!

  91. m.... ....

    Wow . . . been out of the loop, good to see you guys back, and NDV where you belong :D . . . but, I would have been VERY happy if you also had Jimmy Keegan (2 drummers!).

    m.... ....

    I'm a fan of Jimmy. His style is complex yet accessible. Loved him on the last two albums and was sorry to hear he moved on.

  92. c.... ....

    Wow, great job guys. This video is also rad, it totally works.

  93. B.... O....

    Video produced by Neal Morse from the Momentum years haha...

    B.... O....

    Ugly video

    B.... O....

    Steep Romaní Zamudio It's a reference to YouTube musicians. I found it a funny pastiche.

  94. M.... L....

    Who's the drummer? He wasn't shone once.

  95. A.... S....

    I really like how Ted is being filmed on a computer through Skype or something. You can even see the edge of the computer or laptop screen.

    Really good song, by the way. Can't wait for Noise Floor.

  96. J.... W....

    New Beard!!!

  97. K.... P....

    Excellent.

  98. B.... M....

    KILLER!!! More!!

  99. M.... B....

    why no drummer???????
