Lyrics
Sandrider
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Welcome aboard, let me draw you deep inside
The dark caves of my twisted mind
Welcome aboard, take a seat and dim the light
Empty your mind, sit back and hold on tight
Break away through the walls of reality
Enter the realm on the other side
Break away from the cold rationality
Now is the time to open up your mind
Set your controls
Enter a date and see what our future holds
What kind of fate awaits us there in the night
As we dissolve into the light
Set your controls
Enter a place and witness mysteries unfold
Dangers we'll face as our engines ignite
Blazing our way into the light
Set your controls
Throw the switch, get ready for some turbulence
Brace yourself with all your might
Throw the switch and tempt the laws of providence
Empty your mind, sit back and hold on tight
Turn the dials and watch the years go by
Light years away, far beyond our sun
Turn the dials, into the void we fly
There's no way back once it has begun
The die is cast
You fade to black
Forget the past
There's no way back
