"For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return." [Leonardo Da Vinci]
[a) The View From Here]
[Instrumental]
[b) A Working Progress]
Thrive, you sons of Earth and light On gossamer dreams so bright To spread these Icarus wings and fly Heaved from hubris to the sky
So fare our seeds, proud hopes of Man Whether through unfaltering faith in God Whether by sense of self and truth Or kindness to kindle faith anew – in you
And so we wait now Through great enterprise of generations Slowly to pull through A renaissance of sense and thought to thrive anew My doubts are few And I will live anew
[c) Seamless]
[Instrumental]
[d) So Many Grains of Sand]
'Pon the break of dawn we philosophized To seek a light so deep Now on for lunar light they leave To stir our beliefs
A new celestial relation A stair to the sky
Proud Apollonian, a novel view we owe to you The solace of heliocentrism turned to awe Of so many grains of sand
Islands we are in such vast seas
I notice You, as doleful you wane As we come to terms with being but one of so many grains of sand We stand on the shoreline as waters wash away The prints we aspired to leave for another day How I wish they'd have stayed
[e) Cities in Flight]
We are in Cosmo-osmosis We are no longer soil-bound To Earth, a sole dimension Transcend is all that we can do
So prone are we to flights of fancy Borne on wings hopeful and flimsy Man doth wake and realizes We are dragonflies chasing dewdrops at dawn
Drawn to universal cycles, as butterflies to pheromone trails The view from here is pleasant, our window to the Metaverse inviting So enticing these fruits of Eden in our sky
[f) Gossamer]
[Instrumental]
[g) The Reins of Eden]
[Instrumental]
[h) Second Man]
"It may be that the old astrologers had the truth exactly reversed, when they believed that the stars controlled the destinies of men. The time may come when men control the destinies of stars." [Arthur C. Clarke]
Drawn ever deeper down below into the deepest time We have thrown old limitations away
To actuate To deviate Alleviate To elevate
And as sky we pursue and an empyreal future ensure We are thus persistent, to subsist and endure To ring in novel seasons, of due reason and sapience On wings to cast off, each of us, at last to reach the sun
To steer the stars without want for hands Is to know what sense is
My senses fly And call unto me: Though islands are we In time we'll learn to swim the seas And I'll follow you there There's so much left to learn And so many new things to see And my conscience lay bare Time's a friend to me And as she flows, so will we And through the aeons we'll meet The first and the last Always in motionTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
