Chapter I - "Steeple Of Forgotten Knowledge" [Lyrics: Markus Esch] [Gates of Experience Part I] Four creatures are surrounding me Observing and influencing the actions The lion is enthroned by the powers of the eagle An angel offers a call as a sacrifice The fearless searching soul Ki-aga-bi na-nam ki-aga-bi na-nam Is wrapped in a black robe en e-kur-ra ki-aga-bi na-nam Whispers lost and ancient phrases ni-nam sa-ge al-da-ga-za To open his mind ni-kal-kal-la sa-ge-gara-za The red coach is lowed by the lion with speed The prince who is kneeing, a symbol of fire, you see The Phoenix expresses certainty and power He touches the dimensioins of ordinary life Black and white are two symbols of dualism The high priest is able to divide them and mix together He is the keeper of the key to the twilight kingdom And he observes the laws of the four creatures Mind of the lion Thoughts of the eagle Imagination of the soul Feelings of the calf [Gates of Experience Part II] The sleeple towers over the cloud cover Reaching unknown levels of knowledge The battlements appear threatening I walk through the gate of imagination For step by step I reach new levels The sun turns black I reach the top A pedestal towers over a sea of rain I'm draining the cap of sorrow to the last The sleeple towers over the cloud cover Reaching unknown levels of knowledge The battlements appear threatening I walk through the gate of imagination The soul is downcasted The cup is overcrowded Too many occurences Have taken place
