(Downes/Payne/Woolfenden)
"What passing-bells for these who die as cattle?
- Only the monstrous anger of the guns.
Only the stuttering rifles' rapid rattle
Can patter out their hasty orisons.
No mockeries now for them; no prayers nor bells;
Nor any voice of mourning save the choirs, -
The shrill, demented choirs of wailing shells;
And bugles calling for them from sad shires."
(Wilfred Owen, 1918)
Now the day has run
When the cover comes
But any fool can see
Ahead
Silence is my friend
But it has to end
Any fool can see
Ahead
It's the longest night
It's the longest night
Cold winds may blow
On the longest night
So we write our letters
To those far away
Any fool can see
Ahead
The distant sound of thunder
A choir of wailing shells
Any fool can see
Ahead
It's the longest night
It's the longest night
Cold winds may blow
On the longest night
I don't want to fight
I don't know who's right
Cold winds they blow
On this longest night
It's the longest night
It's the longest night
Cold winds may blow
On this longest night
Asia is a supergroup formed in 1981 from members of legendary bands such as Yes, King Crimson, Emerson Lake and Palmer, and Uriah Heep. The original lineup included Geoff Downes (keyboards), John Wetton (bass, vocals), Steve Howe (guitar) and Carl Palmer (drums). Over the years, the band has seen several lineup changes, with other notable musicians joining and leaving. Although they haven't achieved the same level of critical acclaim as their former bands, Asia boasts a loyal fanbase who appreciate their blend of AOR (Adult Oriented Rock) and progressive rock. Some of their most representative songs include 'Heat of the Moment', 'Only Time Will Tell' and 'Separate but Whole'. Their self-titled debut album in 1982 was a commercial success.
