A Passage In Time
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.
These silent chances pass one by
Who never knew of them at all.
Resigned to the hands of fate
We await her impending beck and call.
Until we return, paradise interred.
Spread your golden wings, let the sails unfurl.
Until we return, paradise interred.
Spread your golden wings, let the fires burn.
These silent chances pass one by
Who never knew of them at all.
Resigned to the hands of fate
We await her impending beck and call.
Until we return, paradise interred.
Spread your golden wings, let the sails unfurl.
Until we return, paradise interred.
Spread your golden wings, let the sails unfurl.
Well opportunities doors did not open wide.
The answers remain locked away inside.
Locked away inside
So forced into labour we till the earth
To sow the seeds of our own rebirth.
As the days turned into years
Our faith overcame any doubts or fears.
Any doubts or fears
Are there any doubst or fears?
Any doubts or fears
Are there any doubts or fears?
In truth we had found the key.
Its application would unravel this mystery.
This mistery
