The Imaginary Direction of Time

Can you hear the stepping on twigs? Can you see the heart of the dark? Can you smell the scent of vigor lost? Can you feel the gust of cold? I can show you what beauty is But needed is a heart of trust We ignite the spark of sound And seem blinded to the enlightened The sting of rot is our perfume Where god's icy wind will blow When I smell the roses humanity smells When I hear the voice of belief When I see the light of a sunny day And when I feel the caress of love Remind me what ugliness is I cannot seem to recall Charmed by the smell of the roses Feinted by the voice of belief Deceived by the light of a sunny day And lured by the caress of love

Where lies the wonder in all I see Surrounded by a phantom dream I question my fate in this existence In my view are my deepest thoughts Bound together by that which isn't real In this kingdom truth lies hidden Existing through infinity and space Where fate is concealed and matter released The deepest secrets of my world I open my arms and welcome their demise Yet they will never seize to be Expanding everlasting beyond limitation Created and recreated with no conclusion

I speak through my silence (through my silence) I let my stillness wander (wander) I stagger across the end of forever Taking me to my home (to my home) Where nothing ever ends (ever ends) A place so far away In the midst of the heavens Spread your wings and fly Fly towards the open sky Be free... By the sun and its fire My burning desire Nothing can take me higher Before my eyes in all its wonder Beauty presented in all its awe Visions of perfection wielded by sight To which my reverence will never yield

We reach toward the untouchable Streams of endless light (surrounding our embrace) But those flames burned cold long ago Left are only remnants of time and space These are the things we’re only meant to feel In fragments beyond time’s mighty reel Feed the fire before the fire feeds on us (It’s the way of life as we know it) Before it comes to pass (This is the ultimate paradox) The fireworks of genesis are at play We’re given life only to have it taken away If the dice is rolled when truth be told Then sit back and watch the game unfold

Under the stars and beneath the sun, in this indefinite realm Being is beyond understanding, life-like yet just a dream There are whispers from the other side, calling for a path to reason But the desire of a lesser kind holds strong in a world of treason It is only when the darkest hour approaches that our true nature is exposed So the voice of reason remains but a whisper in the dark Everything that begins ends with the last of the two Until they anew will rise from the ruin of that single spark The one which is no more and that never was For under the stars and beneath the sun, there is really nothing at all Yet even so we choose this path, for only to watch the aftermath Knowing all things that come to an end, leave only broken pieces to mend

A shadow covers me I see a distant star in the cold sky For a single moment, time stands still and becomes an eternity of lost dreams I'm looking at that dark place, somewhere out there in the universe I awake from my trance: reality is still intact, still unharmed and unbroken Not even my last resolve can change its will Each moment ahead is completely in the dark We know nothing of what's to come and fragments of memory is our only gift I take a step further into the night, having remembered, but still I remain The source of this design is unknown, Yet walking in circles seems to have meaning somehow

I look through the hourglass waiting for time to pass The hours are like old traces of lines in the sand It seems I’ve strayed from the path somehow Lost in the memories of old tomorrows (tomorrows) Not recalling where I am, I stop for a moment in thought A voice calls out to me in the darkness of my imagination Take my hand and walk with me, for I will show you the way Take my hand and walk with me, for I will lead the way You dream of that which lies beyond (for the means justify the end) But once you’re there, there is no turning back When you walk with me, your fate has been sealed Until time without end (for the means justify the end) Desiring to be enlightened at every cost, no matter the consequence A weakness greater than you will ever know, for the means justify the end A moment seems like a lifetime in this mindset As if time stands still, yet the sand seeps down at a steady pace I bend my thoughts in contemplation, challenging accepted insight In deepest thought I am as time runs out And there is no turning back now

As the way of the world unfolds amidst shattered hope Encircled with no escape from imaginary death I withdraw in regret that I didn't make the choice When I had the chance to change the way of the world

An awakened moment of revelation (oh...) Proceeded by times of revolution (oh...) In light of an excess phase An era of time without space Time and again I look beyond Counting the chance of fate Time and again I look beyond Questioning chance of faith (I see) the light of that sunny day (I feel) the caress of love I now know what ugliness is I seem to recall

In splendor it lies before me Awaiting my final return Like a desolate moon Floating around in nothingness I am a wanderer, alone In endless search for answers I follow the sun Through ocean of stars Yet in this dark place of matter Darkness prevailed I return to the shadow By which I am destined to dwell Beginnings and ends are the same here And everything else passes in silence
