Biography

German progressive rock band formed in Hannover in 1969. They took their name from H.G. Wells' "The Time Machine", and sci-fi elements feature in much of their music, particularly the mid-to-late 1970's concept albums. In their early days Eloy played a heavy rock, at first influenced by British bands like [a=Deep Purple] or [a=Uriah Heep], and then increasingly took on influences from [a=Pink Floyd], mixed in with what became the distinctive Eloy sound. Eloy (due to many line-up changes) became the project of front man [a=Frank Bornemann], and basically four different bands during their history. Eloy went on to be one of the most internationally successful of German progressive rock bands born out of the Krautrock era.

LYRICS

I'm sitting here in my empty cell, it's dark and drab and damp. They throw me crusts to eat Drink water from the well. I was playing my part in this dreadful war when someone ran me through: They bound me up in chains, and that's the last I knew. The guards are watching day and night and they observe each move I make I wonder if they'll let me out alive - I know there's no way to escape I know the feeling of dejection: To be imprisoned for no crime So God please take me out of here You are my one hope at this time. Why are those people shouting? Is the battle lost or won? Now the footsteps of the guards - will my chains be tightened or undone?
