0:27This land today shall draw it's last breath
0:35And take into it's ancient depths
0:44This frail reminder of it's giant dreaming self
0:50While i with human-hindered eyes
0:57Unequal to the sweeping curve of life
1:03Stand on this single print of time
1:11Human wheels spin round and round
1:17While the clock keeps the pace
1:24Human wheels spin round and round
1:30Help the light to my face
1:50That time today no triumph gains
1:58At this short success of age
2:07This pale reflection of it's brave and
2:10Blundering deed
2:13For i descend from this vault
2:20Now dreams beyond my earthly fault
2:27Knowledge sure from the seed
2:34Human wheels spin round and round
2:40While the clock keeps the pace
2:47Human wheels spin round and round
2:54Help the light to my face
3:30This land today my tears shall taste
3:38And take into it's dark embrace
3:47This love who in my beating heart endures
3:53Assured by every sun that burns
4:00The dust to which this flesh shall return
4:06It is the ancient dreaming dust of god
4:13Human wheels spin round and round
4:20While the clock keeps the pace
4:27Human wheels spin round and round
4:33Help the light to my face
4:40Human wheels spin round and round
4:47While the clock keeps the pace
4:53Human wheels spin round and round
5:00Help the light to my face
This land today shall draw it's last breath And take into it's ancient depths This frail reminder of it's giant dreaming self While i with human-hindered eyes Unequal to the sweeping curve of life Stand on this single print of time Human wheels spin round and round While the clock keeps the pace Human wheels spin round and round Help the light to my face That time today no triumph gains At this short success of age This pale reflection of it's brave and Blundering deed For i descend from this vault Now dreams beyond my earthly fault Knowledge sure from the seed Human wheels spin round and round While the clock keeps the pace Human wheels spin round and round Help the light to my face This land today my tears shall taste And take into it's dark embrace This love who in my beating heart endures Assured by every sun that burns The dust to which this flesh shall return It is the ancient dreaming dust of god Human wheels spin round and round While the clock keeps the pace Human wheels spin round and round Help the light to my face Human wheels spin round and round While the clock keeps the pace Human wheels spin round and round Help the light to my face
