History's a vinyl record stuck in a groove
A hundred warring sects claiming to have the truth
Blessed robots with so much to prove
You could say so much to lose
The scorching air
The slumbering mass
Of forgotten things
Preening peacocks ignite the fuse
Trumpets and promises a turn of the screw
To have a human face we'll have to start all over again
Back to the drawing board all the boys and men
The scorching air
The slumbering mass
Of forgotten things
When you lose your kite in the wind and fall on the trees
You're sucked in bulletin blown out on T.V.
The glory of the past is really only a tomb
The thing from the crypt long ago nurtured you
The scorching air
The slumbering mass
Of forgotten things
Steve Hackett (nato Stephen Richard Hackett il 12 ottobre 1951) è un chitarrista, cantante e compositore britannico, considerato uno dei pilastri del rock progressivo. Dopo aver iniziato a suonare la chitarra all'età di sette anni, si è fatto notare per le sue abilità tecniche e melodiche. Nel 1971 ha sostituito Anthony Phillips nei Genesis, contribuendo alla band con un sound più strumentale e virtuosistico. Con i Genesis ha inciso otto album di grande successo, tra cui "Selling England by the Pound", "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" e "A Trick of the Tail". Nel 1977, dopo una serie di divergenze creative, Hackett ha lasciato i Genesis per intraprendere la carriera solista. La sua musica solista è caratterizzata da un approccio fusion che fonde elementi di rock progressivo, jazz, world music e classica. Tra i suoi album più noti figurano "Spectral Mornings", "Voyage of the Acolyte" e "Defector". Hackett continua a registrare e esibirsi in tutto il mondo, mantenendo una fedele base di fan grazie alla sua tecnica chitarristica impeccabile e alla sua capacità di creare atmosfere evocative. Alcuni dei suoi brani più rappresentativi sono: "Every Day", "Narnia", "Clocks - The Angel of Mons".
