1. The Bunker Of Life (30:16)
My long-dead grandfather I saw suddenly in a dream
Wearing his best Sunday clothes
As if to attend the holy mass
With arms wide open, he beckoned me to come near
But standing at his bunker's doorstep I hesitated
He smiled and slowly strolled towards me
"My time has come, but you are not ready yet" he said
As the gate was slowly shut in front of my hazy eyes
He whispered "See you in Atlantis"
And the bunker sunk in the cold earth
For forty days I fell in a deep depression
And when I finally arose, my eyes could see clear
Some call it Lemuria, others speak of Hyperborea
Wise tongues sing the praise of the mighty Atlantis
Appearances deceive, but their essence remains the same
Deep in the collective unconscious I dug
To find the truth in my grandfather's words
Until I realised that I am cosmic spawn
Child of a superior race
But aren't we all?
Once upon a time all eyes could see, all ears could hear
But deaf and blind we now walk towards our fate
Gateways closed to sacred knowledge
Access denied to our failing consciousness
Ever since my grandfather spoke to me
I continue walking the left path towards Atlantis' lights
From the stone circles of great Albion
To ancient Hellenic temples
In mighty pyramids and the vast deserts of the earth
I'm roaming to teach the gospel of truth
But who is listening?
Precious like good old wine
Scrolls have been passed from generation to generation
Until buried under the dust of aeons
The ancient lore now hides from consciousness
A sign we are approaching the end, la fine è vicina
Passing on my right side the zillions of souls
Heading the other direction
Hopelessly lost in wilderness
Humanity is doomed, la fine è vicina
Wearing his best Sunday clothes
As if to attend the holy mass
With arms wide open, he beckoned me to come near
But standing at his bunker's doorstep I hesitated
He smiled and slowly strolled towards me
"My time has come, but you are not ready yet" he said
As the gate was slowly shut in front of my hazy eyes
He whispered "See you in Atlantis"
And the bunker sunk in the cold earth
For forty days I fell in a deep depression
And when I finally arose, my eyes could see clear
Some call it Lemuria, others speak of Hyperborea
Wise tongues sing the praise of the mighty Atlantis
Appearances deceive, but their essence remains the same
Deep in the collective unconscious I dug
To find the truth in my grandfather's words
Until I realised that I am cosmic spawn
Child of a superior race
But aren't we all?
Once upon a time all eyes could see, all ears could hear
But deaf and blind we now walk towards our fate
Gateways closed to sacred knowledge
Access denied to our failing consciousness
Ever since my grandfather spoke to me
I continue walking the left path towards Atlantis' lights
From the stone circles of great Albion
To ancient Hellenic temples
In mighty pyramids and the vast deserts of the earth
I'm roaming to teach the gospel of truth
But who is listening?
Precious like good old wine
Scrolls have been passed from generation to generation
Until buried under the dust of aeons
The ancient lore now hides from consciousness
A sign we are approaching the end, la fine è vicina
Passing on my right side the zillions of souls
Heading the other direction
Hopelessly lost in wilderness
Humanity is doomed, la fine è vicina
