PART I IN THE DIFFERENCE ENGINE The final plague Unstoppable refraction of the essential self The human strain weakens We are dilute We are divided Aliens in our own bodies Technology becomes the only way to assist the living Destined to become analogies of ourselves Touring-conscious facsimiles Programmed believers Chase the dragon of salvation In search of the Garden Of Eden No such place is found Nor was it ever a place but a way A combination of actions Presence intention Rediscovered through accidents Vicarious escapades Knowledge was made actual Made visible and with weight "Now we can see it" Say the children of the grave "There's nothing between us except what we make" Songtexte PART II PERIHELION CONTINUUM Radioactive waves deafening Taunting daunting voids everywhere Surround sound of nothing, nothing No new vision of the universe Nowhere the mind and soul collide When I reach the perihelion The long way around where the past is found I can't feel anything at all No instincts that I recall I can't feel anything at all I have no primal urges Just a circuit driving surges To sustain no life at all There's a disturbance in the plenum Anomaly of great magnitude Am I spinning in continuum ? Or flying apart from solitude I spin in all directions With no key to the legends I spin in all directions With no way to pass dimensions In your haze of your pollution Masks of faith and pride and superstition PART III SALVATION FOUND Near the jump gate Seems the only way out Can't contemplate Go within go without Inside infinity Spiral put of control Dividing trinity Colliding mind and soul Taunting daunting haunting No end detectable Next to impossible Spinning upside down The long way round Salvation found PART IV ALL WORLDS ALL TIMES I see the starlight in your eyes A billion beaming lights Embrace you in my mind I have traveled all this time I recognize who I was and what I am Been to places I can't explain Trade tomorrow for my pain I have crossed between the planes And this love can never die Lives on in ever after See the starlight in my eyes Resigned to lead a life alone Exploring all that is All worlds all times Now i feel I can't go on Without you in this life And all the love inside Ascending into space All worlds all times An all familiar place Earth-like sunshine I feel the starlight in our eyes Starlight Sunshine Moonbeam Earth-like (Thanks to Rob Miller for these lyrics) Aus Songtexte Mania
