Magician Among The Spirits

Far across the water, far across the sea

Magician among the spirits, the next delivery

And the scene is set up by the boy who lost his mind

A certain smell of ether as machines unwind

Universe of distant stars chilling in its failings

With planets spinning deep in space parading all its flavors

We sit and stare into the night and contemplate forever

Slip away into your dreams, conclude that we may never

Out and past the harbour where the sharks dream in the waves

Magician among the spirits is drowning in a cave

As Solomon's my witness, as Gabriel is my guard

Garden of the lovely ones or the devil's back yard

Hand of God has sprinkled jewels inside the velvet ceiling

Filling up our unsure hearts with wonder, awe and feeling

All the eyes are staring down and glitter like small children

Their secrets kept, but lost in thought, looking at what fueled them

Singing about the old times, sepia and faded

Magician among the spirits the past has been invaded

Robert Houdini in the distance, we look up through the water

See the comet's silver trail, see the planets falter

Vastness of science, eternal night shrouded in dark mazes

Runes and tunes and frequencies flowing through their phases

Your air or cover, wind is dead, consequences endless

Speed of light in empty time, no borders to defend us

Walking in the wilderness with my pale sister

Magician among the spirits, I said how much I missed her

Jackson on the slipstream, he's moving all around

Chasing tiny orphans, following the sound, following the sound

Fragile and delirious, cannot understand it

Magician among the spirits, Electra and Miranda

Passed you in a corridor, you were drinking Grenadine

Drinking liquid happiness, your tears could not be seen, tears could not be seen

Violent sun propels its rays to seek out beings breathing

Ancient craft that waltz the maze of metal shells beneath me

And dust that swirls, of reddened clouds, and floats above the surface

Deserted landscape slip away, forgotten secret purpose

Thin film of moisture, condensing on the screen

Magician among the spirits, are you with us, Christine?

Do you really remember the boy I used to be?

With you every single night in February

All this ectoplasm, believe in ghosts

Magician among the spirits, lord of hosts

Here we are tonight, we're speaking to the light

Magician among the spirits, make it alright

"Magician!, magician!, my star!

From where on earth do you look out, into outer space!

I am in a forest heather!

You shall not find me again!

Farewell my daughters, I'll see you soon!"
