i have become a silent movie
the hero killed the clown
can't make a sound
nobody knows what he's doing
still hanging around
can't make a sound
the slow motion moves me
the monologue means nothing to me
bored in a role, but he can't stop
standing up to sit back down
and lose the one thing found
spinning the world like a toy top
till there's a ghost in every town
can't make a sound
eyes locked and shining
can't you tell me what's happening?
why should you want any other, when you're a world within a world?(Kerry Livgren/Steve Walsh)
The mist of time is still concealing
The vision that I seek
Those who died have all borne witness
If only they would speak
Now and then we've all been given
A glimpse of bygone days
I'd give all to see it clearly
Not shrouded in the haze
Yet I saw it all inside me, for a moment
Were you with me?
Have we done it all before, is there really so much more?
Each man has a memory
Much more than the eye can see
Yet still others linger deep inside you
Haunting thoughts of pain and joy divide you
Look beyond your eyes
At the dark and moody skies
For they're standing in your way
And I feel the light of day
Now the earth gives forth its secrets
Held in mountain sea and plain
They have never been forgotten
Only locked inside my brain
While I slept I had a vision, I remember
You were with me
We have done it all before, in our minds behind the door
