Story behind the song
An ambitious very long "progressive" track, with a long "new ageish" intro played by piano and wooden flute, dedicated to the history of the Anasazi. This is the very first "prog" trial of TWM, and ideally describes the rise (with water and birds) and the successive decadence and fall (it ends with the desert winds) of this misterious Pueblo culture called "the Anasazi". We don't know so much about this people, other than they left enourmous megalithic ruins in California, where they did live between 300 to 1300 AD. Probably influenced by the central-american populations (Olmec, Toltec, Aztec, Mayan, as were their names when spanish explorers did arrive), they hosted a great civilization but slowly destroyed their environment. Now their ruins lie in the desert, while the environment was probably very different before they did reach the top of their civilization. Also a way for us to send a warning: we must learn from the mistakes of the past. In the album version, this track probably will be presented without the foreword...
