Arcturus Nocturnal Vision Revisited song lyrics

The echoes of a dream I dreamt

In a distant past is here at last

Drowning me fast

Why are the ripples so old and vast

Catching up to me? what did I see?

The tower of life, or was it death

Erected by the sea

The spawn of the earth was flocking up

Some went to the top others halted up

At different levels people threw themselves at the waves

And when they fell in they were all dead as sin

I climbed up to the very top

Wanting to see all that can be

Why waste a wicked view

When after all all and all

To our death will fall

To our death we fall

This foretelling I knew to be deeper than words

And true as pain hurts

Now I am in free flight

It does not feel right

No time to think

I'll be gone in a wink

In between waking and true sleep

What I find I treasure and keep

The tower of wisdom

The fall to the deep
