Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Approaching life
From the seeds of time
Cosmic pulse
Aeons of chaos
[Verse 2]
Feel the flames, the streams of life below
Feel the flames that blinds your inner eye
Seek and find what lingers deep inside
Seek and find, but do not try to understand
Spread the wings and fly into mind
Spread the wings and find the eagle in the sky
Find a source, the ancient passion play
Find a source, the roots of the mountain
[Verse 3]
Hark, men of faith
Where were you when your children bled to death?
Listen, men of law
Where were you when the mothers were slain?
[Verse 4]
Feel the flames, the streams of life below
Feel the flames that blinds your inner eye
Seek and find what lingers deep inside
Seek and find, but do not try to understand
[Verse 5]
Hark, men of faith
When you set fire to the fields, the grass grew stronger
Listen, men of law
When you turned from life, the flames endured
Leave order, feel the earth
The self is all you've got
Enter life on the waves from the void
Behold the ancient roots
[Verse 6]
And the battles shall forever go on
With peace comes our certain doom
The mother will love as she hates
Where there is life you will die
[Verse 7]
Approaching life
Aeons of chaos
[Verse 8]
Feel the flames, the streams of life below
Feel the flames that blinds your inner eye
Seek and find what lingers deep inside
Seek and find, but do not try to understand
Spread the wings and fly into your mind
Spread the wings and find the eagle in the sky
Find a source, the ancient passion play
Find a source, the roots of the mountain
