Alert 03:40
ALERT All of the sides, before Some of it hides And then I wait some more I see things waiting for another overload These things are waiting for another overload

Aligned 07:44
ALIGNED The fight was short It was intense and it did hurt Couldn’t look straight in your eyes Was the friendship like a wire The tension gone but still attached Left from the same place again But did not, would not let go Here come the sun Colors reunited, destination unknown but we walk the road Here comes the sun Has desolved the fog by travels on our way to fellowship We are now Back together once again, A long time has come and gone. Even though it was in our faces Each of us a story of their own Ready to gently let go Changed in the way we felt

Revealed 08:29
REVEALED This is where I am I’m at the crossroads of my life Breathing life, so much to give And willing to receive And I watched the world Is it better, or is it less now It’s even better When did life grab me by the throat For breathing life, too much I lived And living to receive But I loved the world I watched the world, is it less now? I’ve lived my life twice That is only half so don’t stop me now Slow me on my way Want to be the cocoon that has to be revealed The way back is known too dear That feels familiar Trust the friendship that is here No delay but the new route is for sure a detour One thousand wishes They become one so please let this one fulfill so that I Again may see the world as a child who sees a butterfly

Dourbie 07:21
DOURBIE Where blue meets blue The green disappears Where water leaves air Furiously goes down The sharp edges of stone Polished to the fine Building on its strength Frames widen Moves all aside Everything away To a certain way, Low rises Low rises Rest takes his entrance Time slows down Time to forget Time to Let go of the flow, do not hold it Choose your way it will slow time down Leave it and undergo silence We do not stand, it takes time Where limitations meet freedom And calmness restored Friendship closed The standard does not count Overflowing colors From blue to green Together, Do not stand still It only runs Time to

#794078 09:17
#794078 A sunny Sunday morning on England’s green and pleasant land Like field of crows swarm around looking east Brass wings on red berets are cheering for a victory’s end Past the cliffs of home they flew ahead Past the cliffs of their home, they flew ahead Cross the sea on waves of dare Trained to make long miles, looking for grounds If only they then knew Pathfinders mist pointing the way Landing grounds eight miles to aim No fear or doubt were shown Unpacking their load and go (ref:) I vow to you the brave and strong Live in the hearts you left behind Earth has lost, heaven has gained The best the world contained I hope my presence tells your story And pass it through hereafter A bit of your battle, your faith Your precious life you gave Engines roaring out loud, through canvas cloth There is unknown land ahead Red colored like home heather in bloom Carpet of hope to go I can hear your mothers cry From far beyond the sky Please someone in this land now safe Place a flower on my son’s grave (ref:) You heard my calling No questions why A cry for freedom And gave your heart and died

Go 07:31
GO Hear, on the wind A voice that longs to be home again Wails at the storm The rest is lost in the noise Here at my side The songs have words that I hear again I’ve got to go I’ve got to go To move with the flow Open the door For there is more It’s what views are for Gone from my home And shoes are worn to the bone A breeze moves the fire It lights the friends I admire

ALERT & ALIVE Part I Too much suffocation Is torturing my brains Many bits and bytes fall down Like heavy digital rain A pattern of expectations Invites me just in vain My wayward track it whispers It whispers don’t look back I beg it doesn’t just like that extinguish all my flame Trojan alert, it seems quite absurd It blocks my mind And I cry out, firewall insert Too many opportunities Aren’t mentioning my name But there is still enough to do To continue the game A jungle full of options Force me outside my frame My wayward track it whispers It whispers don’t look back I pray it doesn’t all aggravate my pain Trojan alert, it seems quite absurd It blocks my mind And I cry for a firewall insert Part II An unknown experience inside of me My mind says go but my heart it disagrees My blood is pounding in random ways Nerves haunt me in a strange and unfulfilling chase My mirror didn’t give me a warning A mask with a smile pulls me under Keep on running towards the horizon It looked like the end Unknown experience My mind says go but my body disagrees All of my blood it is pounding In a strange unfulfilling chase It looked like the end But it’s only just begun

about

‘Alert & Alive’ is the 3rd studio album by Triangle and it is released 13 years after ‘Retreat’ (2003) and 16 years after their debut album ‘Square the Circle’ (2000). After a period of making no music with each other, drummer Paul brought the band back together and when we started playing the chemistry was there as if it never left!

You can download Alert & Alive for free when you enter €0,00!
