    Here's the lyrics / songflow :
     
  • Riff 1 x 2
    Riff 1 x 2 (second guitar enters)
     
  • Fill 1 I am the world that hides
    /Riff 1 the universal secret of all time
    Fill 1 Destruction of the empty spaces
  • /Riff1 is my one and only crime
     
    a
  • n I've lived a thousand times
    d I found out what it means to be believed
    The thoughts and images,
  • s The unborn child that never was conceived
    o
    When little worlds collide
  • o I'm trapped inside my embryonic cell
    n And flashing memories
    are cast into the never-ending well
  • u
    n The name that scorns the face
    t The child that never sees the cause of man
  • i The deathly darkness that belies
    l the fate of those who never ran
    .
  • .
    .
    Riff 2 x...
  •  
    Riff 2 Well I know it's hard for you to know the reason why
    . And I know you'll understand more when it's time to die
  • .
    . Don't believe the live you have will be the only one
    You have to let your body sleep to let your soul in my heart
  • (I want you to listen,I try to get through)
     
    Love has given life to you and now it's your concern
  • Unseen eye of inner life will make your soul return
     
    Still I look but not to touch
  • The seeds of life are sown
    Curtain of the future falls
    The secret stays unknown
  • Solo
    w/Riff2
    Just remember love is life
  • And hate is living death
    Treat your life for what it's worth
    And live for every breath
  •  
    Looking back I've lived and learned
    But now I'm wondering
  • Here I wait and only guess
    What this next life will bring
    (Ha Ha !)
