Lyrics


1. Beginning To End (20:20)

I am so tired of all the sitting around
and I don't think it's wise to stay here for so long
This time I look around a little longer
and I believe the time is now so come on

The forest moon is out of phase
the phase of emptiness is full
The clocks have stopped the time is up
The clouds are back, winter's here

It makes me blind
So undefined

I can see for miles and miles
The nomads back is in the sand
The wind it howls the dog is quiet
The end is the beginning here

It makes me blind
So undefined

Wait for me - The sun has touched the ground
Wait for me - The ray is in my eyes
Wait for me - The rain is coming down
Wait for me - You're nowhere to be found

I am so tired of all the come and go
and I don't think it's wise to keep on going at all
This time I look around a little longer
and I believe that once the time is gone it's gone

I have past the final mark
no returns and no refunds
Crumbling walls of ancient times
Slow decay
Fare thee well o travellers
of this Earth and of this land
All I have I leave behind
Fare thee well


2. Asleep Part 2: Awake (8:51)

Your dream last night was so real
the haziness cleared
no space and no time
Awake now everything's smeared
truth is surreal
can you believe it

The hole in the sky
A place in your mind
And the sky's not so high
when you know how to fly

Aboard this vessel I find
the patterns of life
they're not what they seem
Exiled to Zumanthum
We're leaving soon
'cause the gate is still open

The hole in the sky
A place in your mind
And the sky's not so high
when you know how to fly

Blinding darkness, infernal silence
Unseen colours and circular squares
This journey is destined to soon be ended
Liquid forms of solid objects
Neglecting gravity, mind bewildering
Facts revealed as we port at Zumanthum

Awake now everything's smeared
all truth is surreal
but I can't believe it


3. Confessions of The Grim Reaper (8:40)

Once in the land of the rolling hills
I dreamed I was ready to awake
But no, in the darkness of my realm
the only reality is pain

Still, all the souls are glad to come
betrayal and deceiving's my game
Though I can't fulfill my needs I'm fine
my misery loves company

Hey, come down
the supper's laid
Hey, eat now
I'll reap as I sew

Pain,
it's my legacy
it's my poison
it's my remedy

Hey, come down
to my world below
Hey, eat now
Soon you'll be my own

Night time at an alley your light faded out
your destiny is fixed no longer in your hands
You cannot change your course
The day is done you've marched your final march
I will rob it in
I bet you never saw it coming down
you're lying on the ground
you know it's gonna get much worse from here

Can you see what's going on
Can't you see the way you're heading
yeah, you have lost the game
don't bet your life you'll lose it

The final bell has tolled for whom I bet you know
The road has ended now You can't control your fate
I'll lay you down to rest
You will taste my wrath come down to hell


4. Wasteland (5:07)

[INSTRUMENTAL]


5. Zumanthum (13:45)

The grains of time
a texture so fine
It's tickin' onwards it's never behind
Another moment passes me by
so it seems I'm closer to death
Look around
cause all you can see
is in existence temporarily
so it seems I'm closer to death
It has always come and it has always gone

So I'm asking you why
don't you understand
and I ask how
can you hide from all the facts
Are you so blind
cause it's right before your eyes
they call it time
It's an allay not the enemy

Oblivion comes dancing slowly, so gracefully
It's closer today
It seems as though our chances are slim
Rememberance is eternal life
so it seems I'm closer to death
Don't close your eyes
cause it's not a dream

So I'm asking you why
don't you understand
and I ask how
can you hide from all the facts
Are you so blind
cause it's right before your eyes
they call it time
It's an allay not the enemy

Hunters gather around the fire
and tell you stories
All you desire forget your worries
come taste my wine
Thru the mist appears a figure
belongs to a travelling man
He takes off his hood, he appears different
He tells his tale:

I come from a land afar
thru the sky and beyond the stars
I have no wisdom to offer you
I'm just passing thru

Noble men may I taste your wine
For I'm a sad man I'll tell you why
My home it was but is no more
that's what I'm weeping for
I cry for those left behind
that I fear I'll never find
I have heard the oceans cry
and I have seen me die

I'm running over the hills
it's soft nothing is real
and I fly high, yeah definetly high
as the wind carries me by, carries me by
It carries me over the land
out of my mind to a place so undefined

scenes enter my eyes
so violently simple and outlined
I'm growing and shrinking at the same time
that's when I realized I'm going, I'm going
cause It carries me over the land
out of my mind
