LOST HORIZON

LOST HORIZON SEARCHES FOR THE NEXT WORLD BLASTING SINGER!

The band is now looking for the next full-time singer for conquering the world.

Even though it would make things easier, it is not necessary that the applicant lives around Gothenburg, or even in Sweden. It is all a matter of will and good planning and rational thinking!

HOW TO APPLY:

Interested singers can – to begin with – apply to this by recording themselves on an instrumental version of a Lost Horizon song. This is at least a good beginning before the proper try out.

So if You know You have the vocal talent, the mind, the look, the will and the attitude...
...then follow the instructions below.

This is how You go about it:
to the right You will find links to two versions of “Pure” and “Perfect Warrior”. One is the original and the other is an instrumental version (please note that these versions are only midi-tracks with some guitars laid upon it - recorded in approximately 10 minutes and not correctly played).

1. Download the above mentioned files (they are both in mp3-format).
2. Learn the song by listening to the original while reading the lyrics (as You will find below).
3. Record yourself accompanied by the instrumental version.
4. Save/export in mp3-format and e-mail Your details here. (Attention! We have a temporary situation and are not able to receive any files via email. For now, You can upload Your file somewhere on the net and send the url to us.)

Lost Horizon's standard tuning is in D (meaning the E-string is tuned down two half notes to D, and other strings respectively).

Good luck!

Lyrics to PURE - Download lyrics (txt format)

On virgin soil serpents are born
Blind are their eyes, blinding's their bane
Feigned happiness real is as death
Hypocrites' plague infects the mind of man

There is that fear like a curse extending in veins
There is that torment that impairs thee
Roving in shadows yet with flame that glows in my heart
There on my way all alone, so alone, not alone

Only with eyes of a pure heart
Maybe some day you can see me
Faith be your guide when the sorrow encircles your self
Walking the path of a pure heart
Maybe some day you can meet me
Faith be your shine if the anguish eclipses your sight

Under the skin innocence breathes
Inherent grace, free from this waste
Insight and pain – sacred romance
Freedom not greed – a doubtless choice for me to make

There is a pureness that so real reveals in my dreams
There is a beauty that I long for
Covered by shadows, yet it's there so close in my sight
Waiting till shades are gone

Hailed shall be the ones who see what others can not
For no assumptions I will waste my reason
The promised lands of sand are raised and troths build on tales
From heights I now behold this circus' credos

Hailed shall be the ones who see what others can not
For no assumption I will waste my reason
The promised lands of sand are raised and troths build on tales
From heights I now behold this circus' credo

Only with eyes of a pure heart
Maybe some day you can see me
Faith be your guide when the sorrow encircles your self
Walking the path of a pure heart
Maybe some day you can meet me
Faith be your shine if the anguish eclipses your sight

Lyrics to Perfect Warrior - Download lyrics (txt format)

I was falling into the boundless sea
I'm the sacred one who chose to change this world
Everything I hate to see...
Everyone I hate to hear...
Raise your sword and never fall again
I was calling, world never answered me
Time was standing still and life plunged into ruin
Everything I hate to see...
Everyone I hate to hear...
Hold your head up high and spread your words

Mob of "right", I despise your way of life!
I'm a "sinner", yet forgive me nothing
I'm a "heathen", but forever free

Remember!
If you try to break my wings
If you dare to watch my dreams
You'll forever bare your blame
In the name of pain

Remember!
If you try to break my wings
If you try to steal my dreams
You will never free your name
From the chains of pain

If you try to break my wings
If you dare to touch my dreams
Then my curse will be your pain
