This record is a concept album where every song and the cover trays to turnaround symbols in something opposite.
It is not the intention of Tim Blake to do so it is the intention to show how easy it can be done and to point with this to the actual constant usage and misuse of symbols by all sides.

The phases of man
Are all washed away
By the seas of time ['Time' Overlapping with 'Tide']
As the past passes by
We drift on the waves to the future [Eco’s Future Future Future]
An tide an century She’s a cannon ['Untied' overlapping with 'An Tide']
She’ll be washing ['washing' overlapping with 'watching'] away the Past
There’s a new way of growing
For the next thousand years
Inside our HEARTS
Inside our heaaaarts
Will You be there?
Oh [Eco’s Oh]
Will you be there?
All the phases of man ..
Are wasssshed away
Through seas of time
Past, passes by
We see the future [Eco’s Future Future Future]
Drift on the wave’s
We see the past
We flowing off
We see the futureeeeeee [Eco’s ‘e’]
We watch the see
We share [[?] overlapping with something]
The seconds tick away
We watch the See
With care when minutes play the game
We watch the see
The hours the sand and all the glass
As time twiggels out to the future [Word creation out of 'twinkle' and 'trigger']
Can’t You see it, tonight?
It’s just a dream
[Bridge]
He is the time of the century, She’s coming
And She’ll be watching, away the past
There’s a new way of growing
For the next thousand years
Inside our hearts
Inside our heaaaarts
Will You be there? [Eco’s there]
Oh [Eco’s Oh]
Will you be there?
Here comes the tide
[evolving bridge to the end [3 parts]]
Will You be there? ['can' overlapping with 'will']
Oooooh
Will you be there?
