(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
The lyrics THE LONGEST NIGHT of ASIA is also present in the album Aura (2000)
Asia è un supergruppo formatosi nel 1981 da membri di gruppi leggendari come Yes, King Crimson, Emerson Lake and Palmer e Uriah Heep. Il nucleo originale comprendeva Geoff Downes (tastiere), John Wetton (basso, voce), Steve Howe (chitarra) e Carl Palmer (batteria). Nel corso degli anni la formazione ha subito diverse variazioni, con l'ingresso di altri musicisti di spicco. Sebbene non abbiano raggiunto lo stesso livello di fama critica dei gruppi da cui provenivano i membri, Asia vanta una base di fan fedele che apprezzano il loro stile musicale caratterizzato da un mix di AOR (Adult Oriented Rock) e progressivo. Tra le canzoni più rappresentative si ricordano 'Heat of the Moment', 'Only Time Will Tell' e 'Separate but Whole'. L'album di debutto omonimo del 1982 è stato un grande successo commerciale.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
