Anno Mundi
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.
Can you see me, are you near me?
Can you hear me crying out for life?
Can you tell me, where's the glory?
Ride the days and sail the nights
When it's over you'll find the answer
Running in the whispering rain
Anno Mundi? Can you wonder!
Truth or thunder, life or blame
Do you see a vision of a perfect place?
Does it make you laugh, put a smile on your face?
Do you need a mirror, do you see it well?
Does the hand of God still toll the bell?
There are people laughing
They're all laughing at you
If only they could see what you're saying is true, oh yeah!
Still generals fighting, making war on the world
Don't they know, don't they know?
No, no, no!
As the wind in the night blows cold
Your eyes are burning
As the sands of our time grow old
Anno Mundi, yeah!
Do you follow the path that so many tread?
Are you among the blind so easily lead?
Do you join the war, do you fight for the cause?
Depend on another to fight it alone
As the wind in the night blows cold
Your eyes are burning
As the sands of our time grow old
No, no, no!
Can you see me now, can you hear me now?
Can you tell me where's the glory?
Ride the days and sail the nights
When it's over, you'll find the answer
Running in the rain
Truth or thunder, life or blame!
There's a hope that's growing and a vision too
All those angry hearts now reach out for you
Do you look to the dawn, see a new day begun?
No longer the fool, the vision is done
As the wind in the night blows cold
Your eyes are burning
As the sands of our time grow old
Your eyes are burning
As the wind in the night blows cold
Your eyes are burning
As the sands of our time grow old
Your eyes are burning
