I
I am the traveller
I am but one of a few
Selected from many
In search of a world that’s
Brave and new
A sleeper aboard a ship
Headed for home
A traveller in time
Fortune Favours Time
Take a journey through the great divide
Ride on the winds of stars
Across the universe we’ll find our home at last
Onward we travel asleep to the world outside
All we have loved destroyed by relative time
What did we leave? What have we left behind?
A dying world for mankind
Solar winds, carry us, carry us
Home, we long!
Carry us, carry us
Home
Carry us, carry us
Home
Carry us, carry us
Home
The sunlight breaks across my face
A bright blue sky through window panes
I set foot on new shores
A world untouched before
An ocean deep and vast
Mountains built to last
A home that’s strange and new
A whole world waits for you
Yeah!
Fortune Favours Time
Take a journey through the great divide
Ride on the winds of stars
Across the universe we’ll find our home at last
Solar winds, carry us, carry us
Home, we long!
Carry us, carry us
Home
Carry us, carry us
Home
Carry us, carry us
Home

Human Nature

Waking up on a cloudy day
Arms raised to the sky
I follow footsteps down the hallway
To my kitchen pour myself a cup of coffee
And I’m feeling fine
Feeling fine
I take a drop and wander out between the walls
I see the sunlight shining through the clouds
Suddenly it hits me right behind the eyes
A fragment of the universe divine
It’s only human nature
To seek the universal truth
I’m only human nature
Follow me down
All we are is nothingness taking form
We grow, we learn, to nothingness we return
All we are is nothingness taking form
We grow, we learn, to nothingness we return
I walk along a path that lays between the trees
Arms raised to the sky
I follow footsteps to the sand
The ocean breaks in view right before my eyes
And I’m feeling fine
Feeling fine
I take another wandering among the rocks
I see the waves break upon the shore
Suddenly it hits me right behind my mind
A fragment of the universe inside
Fire of life
Natures release
Into my body
The soil seeks
Fire of life
Natures release
Into my body
The soil seeks
Death of the mind
Eternal end
Nothingness begins again
Fire of life
Natures release
Into my body
The soil seeks
Death of the mind
Eternal end
Nothingness begins again
It’s only human nature
To seek the universal truth
I’m only human nature
Follow me down
All we are is nothingness taking form
We grow, we learn, to nothingness we return
All we are is nothingness taking form
We grow, we learn, to nothingness we return
All we are is nothingness taking form
We grow, we learn, to nothingness we return
All we are is nothingness taking form
We grow, we learn, to nothingness we return

The Gateway

Looking past the hills I see the burning sun
Strange landscapes break before me
A world unknown to those we’ve left behind
A message lost in time
Reaching new horizons
Stories told
Lies unfold before our eyes
No one left to turn the tide
Stories told
Make your way back home
Follow the midnight sun
Chase the solar winds
Find a gateway through the stars
Cross the roads of time
Leaving it all behind
Catch the fire in the sky
A thunder roars beneath and whips the burning sand
Trembles and breaks below me
A seismic aberration rocks us to the core
Our voices lost in time
Reach a new horizon
Follow the midnight sun
Chase the solar winds
Find a gateway through the stars
Cross the roads of time
Leaving it all behind
Catch the fire in the sky
Follow the midnight sun
Chase the solar winds
Find a gateway through the stars
Cross the roads of time
Leaving it all behind
Catch the fire in the sky
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa

The End
07:22

|
As the constructs of the old world fell away
We were faced with a daunting question
If the pre scripted structures are genuine
Then why have they been so ineffective
If they are not genuine, what are we left with
We looked deep into the void and saw nothing
No truth, no beauty, no justice
It was all a facade
Our choice was simple
Dwell in that deep dark lonely emptiness
Or take responsibility for what could be
In a void of meaning
We are responsible for our own fate
We sought the void
We would occilate between worthlessness
And manic ego explosions
We were like a rainstick with all the pebbles
Rushing from one end to the other
All darkness
All confidence
So read the lines
Written between the lies
Your final act
Begins above
And ends below
Left to our own devices we panicked
Some, embraced the darkness
Pulling down those around them
Some stood silent
Frozen at the prospect of total responsibility
Some, turned on their kin
Bearing teeth and wrecking home
Some embraced the chaos
And crafted meaning and purpose and relationship
Some of us embraced the birthright of heaven
And became masters of our own destinies
So read the lines
Written between the lies
Your final act
Begins above
And ends below
So read the lines
Written between the lies
Your final act
Begins above
And ends below
