VERSE

                                     
This land today, shall draw its last breath
                           
And take into its ancient depths
                                    
This frail reminder of its giant, dreaming self.
                             
While I, with human-hindered eyes
                                  	
Unequal to the sweeping curve of life,
                              
Stand on this single print of time.

CHORUS

                           
Human wheels spin round and round
                          
While the clock keeps the pace.
                          
Human wheels spin round and round
                      
Help the light to my face.

SOLO
,,(x2),,,,,,,

VERSE

that time, today, no triumph gains
At this short success of age.
This pale reflection of its brave and
Blundering deed.
For I, descend from this vault,
Now dreams beyond my earthly fault
Knowledge, sure, from the seed.

CHORUS

,(2x) ,dem(4x) ,(4x)

This land, today, my tears shall taste
And take into its dark embrace.
This love, who in my beating heart endures,
Assured, by every sun that burns,
The dust to which this flesh shall return.
                         DF        
It is the ancient, dreaming dust of God.

CHORUS 2X END WITH D
