Crystallised - Haken

I close my eyes and slip away

And long for change within the air

Hope fills my soul, I realise

I have the sky under my feet

Sun up above, I am complete

Joy fills my heart in Paradise

I sense your hand searching for mine (I am)

Falling through time

I feel your love reaching across (Transcend)

All the years we lost

Someone's calling me

Echoes of a childhood memory

Eyes open wide as I awake

I sense no change within the air

Hope leaves my soul, I paralyse

This world of pain and suffering

Creeps into me and once again

I mourn the loss of innocence

If I could run away

Back to my innocent days

Someone's calling me

Echoes of a childhood memory

Someone's calling me

Echoes of a childhood memory

Passages of time

Buried in the chaos of my mind

Chronicles of life

Concealing a truth I left behind

Passages of time

Buried in the chaos of my mind

Chronicles of life

Concealing a truth I can't deny

Moon begins to rise

Reflecting on a life once sanctified

Night begins to fall

Voices of my youth, immutable

Memories collide

My scattered soul is almost unified

Thoughts are in full flight

Enveloping a wisdom earned with time

Passages of time

Stripping back the layers of my mind

Chronicles of life

Unraveling a truth which I must find

Passages of time

Stripping back the layers of my mind

Chronicles of life

Unraveling a truth I kept inside

Snow is falling all around

What once was lost has now been found

The life I had to leave behind

Is crystallising in my mind

Reminiscing on the past

A bygone time that could not last

The splintered crystal of my prime

Is now a bell that will not chime

The crystallising thoughts of youth

They flood my mind and show me truth

My soul was free in days of yore

A white seed that once was pure

The snow is falling all around

What once was lost has now been found

The life I had to leave behind

Is crystallising in my mind

Reminiscing on a bygone time

Splintered crystal prime a bell that will not chime

Crystallising thoughts of my faded youth

Flood my mind and bringeth waves of truth

Now the echoes of a false lullaby

Like a black seed in a bed of lies

Splintering the crystal a bell that will not chime

Thoughts flood my mind in truth a faded youth

(The snow is falling)

I reminisce on the past a time gone by

(New life is calling)

Splintering the crystal a bell that will not chime

I will return

Snow is falling all around

What once was lost has now been found

The life I had to leave behind

Is crystallising in my mind

Reminiscing on the past

A bygone time that could not last

The splintered crystal of my prime

Is now a bell that will not chime

The crystallising thoughts of youth

They flood my mind and show me truth

My soul was free in days of yore

A white seed that once was pure

The snow is falling all around

What once was lost has now been found

The life I had to leave behind

Is crystallising in my mind

Reminiscing on a bygone time

Splintered crystal prime a bell that will not chime

Crystallising thoughts of my faded youth

Flood my mind and bringeth waves of truth

Now the echoes of a false lullaby

Like a black seed in a bed of lies

Splintering the crystal a bell that will not chime

Thoughts flood my mind in truth a faded youth

(The snow is falling)

I reminisce on the past a time gone by

(New life is calling)

Splintering the crystal a bell that will not chime

I will return

I have returned

To the springtime in the garden

Seeds are sown, flowers grow

And the child is born again

Filled with delight

And the laughter is contagious

As we dance, as we sing

Celebrating 'til the end

Joy and respite

On the faces of the children

With a smile, realise

That their love will never end

I have received

Affirmation of the spirit

Falling snow takes me home

And the man is whole again

Mind open wide as I awake

I sense a change within myself

Hope feeds my soul I realise

I feel the earth under my feet

Son by my side, I am complete

Pride fills my heart in Paradise

Hearts open wide as I awake

I sense a change within myself

Love feeds my soul I realise

This world of pain and suffering

Ignites in me and once again

Sparks the rebirth of innocence

If I could run away

I'd choose to live for today

Someone's calling me

Echoes of a childhood memory

The moon will rise

The night will fall

I hold your hand

But you let go

The sun will shine

The snow will thaw

All things must pass

Into the unknown

Escaping the past by embracing the future

Escaping the past by embracing the future

Escaping the past by embracing the future

Escaping the past by embracing the future
