Story behind the song
song about how we happen to exist at one arbitrary point in time.....how we rationalize it.....and what we do with it
Lyrics
You cant see ahead, by looking behind
Cant outrace the clock, when it starts to unwind
Its just a matter of time
Bury the past, by the side of the road
Lay a candle and cross, initialed in code
With spirit unbowed
Eyes to the sky, wake from your sleep, blinded by why
Mysteries of a greater mind
A matter of time
A secret to life, is to never grow old
Winning your hand means refusing to fold
Or so I was told
Eyes to the sky, wake from your sleep, blinded by why
Mysteries of a greater mind
Seek, water and fire, traces of proof, entangled like wire
Mysteries of a wondrous kind
A matter of time
Lines and circles, that have no end
Caught in times, continuum
Locked into place, where youre meant to fit in
The hand on the wheel, continues to spin
Again and again
Eyes to the sky, wake from your sleep, blinded by why
Mysteries of a greater mind
Seek, water and fire, traces of proof, entangled like wire,
Mysteries of a wondrous kind
Mysteries of a greater mind
A matter of time
