Here's the lyrics / songflow : Riff 1 x 2 Riff 1 x 2 (second guitar enters) Fill 1 I am the world that hides /Riff 1 the universal secret of all time Fill 1 Destruction of the empty spaces /Riff1 is my one and only crime a n I've lived a thousand times d I found out what it means to be believed The thoughts and images, s The unborn child that never was conceived o When little worlds collide o I'm trapped inside my embryonic cell n And flashing memories are cast into the never-ending well u n The name that scorns the face t The child that never sees the cause of man i The deathly darkness that belies l the fate of those who never ran . . . Riff 2 x... Riff 2 Well I know it's hard for you to know the reason why . And I know you'll understand more when it's time to die . . Don't believe the live you have will be the only one You have to let your body sleep to let your soul in my heart (I want you to listen,I try to get through) Love has given life to you and now it's your concern Unseen eye of inner life will make your soul return Still I look but not to touch The seeds of life are sown Curtain of the future falls The secret stays unknown Solo w/Riff2 Just remember love is life And hate is living death Treat your life for what it's worth And live for every breath Looking back I've lived and learned But now I'm wondering Here I wait and only guess What this next life will bring (Ha Ha !) Fill 2 Riff 3a x2 Riff 3b Riff 3a ...
