Lyrics
Transcending 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.
Drifting in a far off place
I roam the countryside
Seeking wings of thought
Waiting in the blind
Enchanted and transfixed
I am pulled into the still
By a backward ticking clock
Held against my will
Illusions turn to dust
Scatter to the wind
Like dreaming while awake
Signals in the mist
Altered state of mind
Stars in the abyss
Transcending time
Midnight in the garden
Digging for a spark
Where seeds of inspiration
Lie buried in the dark
Attention starts to wonder
As the poet lifts his pen
And the critic from within
Is silenced once again
Limits leave no trace
Ashes in thе rain
Lost and far away
Signals in the mist
Altered statе of mind
Stars in the abyss
Transcending time
Signals in the mist
Stars in the abyss
Euphoric obsession
Without conscious intention
Being pulled by the current
On a vessel steered by someone else
Transcending time
Transcending time
Transcending time
Transcending time
