Klaustrophony

[Instrumental (0:00-15:30)]

At night, I lay sleeping
Upon the crystal darkened night
And in my dreams, I was awoken
There was at once clarity in my sight

Moonbeams over mountains
Or dewdrops sparkling in sunlight
Like a shimmering diamond
T'was a pearl of wisdom to a darkened night

I was awoken
By words spoken
They were as sunlight

They said: ask me but one question
Coming from a long-bearded man
Dressed in white

Now my thinking
Hence in thought
I look deep inside of my mind

And in clarity
Of both sure
These were the words I took apart

I truly
I truly speak frowned[?]

I said, tell mе now, why, heard this man
What is this thing that they call love?

And hе, who was gone
As fast as he had come
To the place
In which he gave all

I woke a second time in my dream
T'was the answer to the small question
Walking yon on mountain slopes
Me and I and bearded man

Stopping short, I realized
To where he's taken me
To a deep pool of well-lit water

On the bottom, was Mother Earth
And the spring of life
Was thrust from her
Pushing and rushing, burned with life

My hand was laid
Upon this power
To withstand

And the quiet bearded man
Laughed and laughed and laughed
And the laughter turned to thunder

And as it rained down to Earth
Sunlight sparkled in the well
Spoke of words and of thirst
The water is clear as a bell

Old white man
You speak wise here
Said to my question
These were the only answers that appeared

And bearded man
Comes from where he's gone
And then is gone
Travel on through the door in my dream
And the ball and chain
Never
Ever
That remains
For bearded white man
Shone light in the garden
And the clarity in my dreams
Could be likened to the sunlight

He took and restored
To the stars upon a starlit night
They are home
One round circle

And divided by the hand of man
We are created while once perfected

Riddle of
Plain, simple
You will ne'er
You will ne'er
Ball and chain
