lyrics

THROUGH THE GATES OF TIME

We drink from the source of time
And wait for our secret destination
Nothing is lost along the wheel of fate
Why we have to grow only to fade away after finding ourselves?
Be once again!
A new life rises from the deep mist of unconscious
The age of men is eternity
The endless inconstancy
Impulse of the divine spirit

New aims new directions
Following the eternal circle
Smokes of purple ether
Blowing old dreams of the future
Life and death are snakes
That draw the spiral of the ages
A seed is a flower
Every man’s a plan to achieve
Through the gates of time
We may see a new beginning
At the fall of ages
Nothing will be lost forever
Why we have to grow only to fade away after finding ourselves?
Be once again!
The reasons of the past carry the patterns
Of all our possible futures
Through the gates of time
Death dances with life
We are still what we were
we are already what we’ll be
We see the sun go down
We know it will come back to shine
Along the threads of night
Our arms are all raised up to the sky
Death collects our fears
The lights of heaven dazzle and darken
Life puts in a new shape
What in Chaos had been dissolved
Through the gates of time
We may see a new beginning
At the fall of ages
Nothing will be lost forever
Why we have to grow only to fade away after finding ourselves?
Be once again!
The reasons of the past carry the patterns
Of all our possible futures
Through the gates of time
death dances with life
We are still what we were
we are already what we’ll be
Through the gates of time
Death dances with life
Through the gates of time
Death dances with life
There’s no beginning, there’s no end, everything lives
(why do we have to grow only to fade away after finding ourselves? Be once again!)
