Lyrics
0:27This land today shall draw its last breath
0:33And take into its ancient depths
0:40This frail reminder of its giant dreaming self
0:46While i with human-hindered eyes
0:52Unequal to the sweeping curve of life
0:59Stand on this single print of time
1:06Human wheels spin round and round
1:12While the clock keeps the pace
1:18Human wheels spin round and round
1:25Help the light to my face
1:57That time today no triumph gains
2:03At this short success of age
2:10This pale reflection of its brave and
2:13Blundering deed
2:16For i descend from this vault
2:22Now dreams beyond my earthly fault
2:29Knowledge sure from the seed
2:36Human wheels spin round and round
2:42While the clock keeps the pace
2:49Human wheels spin round and round
2:55Help the light to my face
3:48This land today my tears shall taste
3:54And take into its dark embrace
4:00This love who in my beating heart endures
4:07Assured by every sun that burns
4:13The dust to which this flesh shall return
4:20It is the ancient dreaming dust of god
4:26Human wheels spin round and round
4:33While the clock keeps the pace
4:39Human wheels spin round and round
4:46Help the light to my face
4:52Human wheels spin round and round
4:58While the clock keeps the pace
5:05Human wheels spin round and round
5:11Help the light to my face
This land today shall draw its last breath And take into its ancient depths This frail reminder of its 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 its 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 its 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
