Astronomicon

Thus shone internal light, severe as the sun

Born from wombs of a deadened horizon

Within where worlds reside

Born galaxies

A universe inside every mind

Behold dead stars ignite, for death...there is none

Now gone, off to a different horizon

Deep inside every mind a universe resides

Where entire planets lie, inner stars ignite

[Chorus:]

This is a dream and yet it's not

Within the astronomicon

Each seed is sown in everyone

To fall or to rise

Become dreams set in flight, forever transform

To most, change is a fearsome liaison

One universe outside and one within

Which sends the mind to flight?

Set souls alight?

Avoid inner insight and slowly become

A drone caught on the event horizon

The black holes open wide in the resistant mind

Devouring each sign of emerging light

[Chorus]

And though we know new things will empower the old

All will be gone, each and every deed undone

[Lead: Nilsson]

[Lead: Kjellgren]

And as we go, move towards the towers unknown

Seeds have been sown and within the dream has grown

Know that we own minds that could devour the sun

And what we've done will remain although it's gone
