That was then and this is now
If only you could change the past but how
[Chorus]
Things they aren’t what they used to be
The world around me doesn’t seem as free
To the hands of time we are bound
That was the and this is now
You’ve come to a point in your life
Where you know what is wrong and what is right
[Chorus]
Things were so much easier back there
No uncertainty and no despair
[Chorus]
You’ve got to be able to adapt
If we don’t learn to cope we will be trapped
[Chorus]
Don’t spend time dwelling on the past
Look ahead to the present task
You’ve come this far and you should be proud
Because that was then and this is now

Ah where to start with this! Late to the party when I stumbled across it in a record shop and was talked into buying the "metal record" by a cousin.
Almost single-handedly rekindled my flickering love of NWOBHM, led me down the rabbit hole past the "name" artists and honestly has affected my listening habits to this day.
Cannot recommend this and its (at time of writing) three siblings enough. Waiting with bated breath and crossed fingers for more! goatcrust

Unabashedly and almost cheerfully Epic, this Old School Metal offering is guaranteed to warm your heart of steel. If you like Slough Feg or The Sword, you should definitely check this one out. Grendel's Sÿster
