Soul

Do you feel the endless motion
Far beneath the earth while you are sleeping
Dream if you want to
Let your eyes grow dull and heavy
You may peer into the darkness
Gaze into the endless motion

There is something in the moonlight
High above your head and all around you
Sing if you want to
Time will call you back and back again
Are you sure you know the melody
Stay in everlasting motion

Enrobed in light and full of splendour
A further course now shall you take
You may venture into darker atmospheres
And you will know us when you wake

But you have to play your role
It’s understood the things that you’ll do
Cannot be foretold
But nonetheless a great many things
Are in our control
And if we were to show you them all
It could make you whole
If only you’d give us your soul

Inside a dusky palace courtyard
She tries to find a melody
She tends to think she’s all alone there
And wishes somebody could see

The heat is wearing down the piano keys
The strings are rusting as the sand comes in
It’s like a dream how fast the music changed
The story can’t be heard above the wind

But something’s there behind her eyelids
A sense of darkness in the air
And voices singing deep inside her head
Too late to help but not to share

The regent asks too many questions
The servants drink and talk of bills to pay
And in the courtyard there is happiness
For she has lived to dream another day

Used to be so cold
And now the measure of the secrets you know
Is something to behold
Do you wonder how the life that was hers
Looks so dim and old
You only need to do one more thing
To let it all unfold
You just have to give us your soul

We thank you for your contribution
It’s very luminous and warm
You’ll be prepared for more instructions
And bring the rest into the swarm
