lyrics

He'll keep on falling in circular motion
Until the grey druid takes his hand and shows him
How he makes it all stop and just floats in the center
You can continue on sinnin' if you play the repenter

The past plus the future is present
The shape of the moon is crescent
What I was then, and what I am to be
They come together inside of me

Mystical caverns filled with glowing white prisms
Are all ancient creatures filled with knowledge and wisdom
You keep following the path, but the slope becomes steeper
And the ceiling drops out as you travel in deeper

The past plus the future is present
The shape of the moon is crescent
What I was then, and what I am to be
They come together inside of me

Is man mightier with the sword, or without
Does it make him more fierce, or put his courage in doubt
intelligence creates weapons and weapons defeat creatures
But man stripped and bare can't rely on his features

The past plus the future is present
The shape of the moon is crescent
What I was then, and what I am to be
They come together inside of me
