A Box of My Own Making - lyrics

Trapped in a box of my own making, under a light that I can’t see….
What is this life that I’m forsaking….here with the ghosts of you and me….

Inside these walls that I’ve constructed…outside the prison of the mind…
After it all we’ve surely fucked it….and now can’t leave it all behind…

Tell me the riddles of the ages….show me the treasures of the times…
Give me the chance to see inside it….so I can leave it all behind…

Earth….still walking on the Earth…..still walking on the Earth…

The script is rolling out before us…like thunder rolling across the hills…
The eastern steppes and age old conquests…inside a life thats full of thrills…

Go forth conquer the land the war with yourself has shattered your plans…these castle walls will all fall down…

Go forth conquer the land the war with yourself has shadowed your plans…these castle walls will all fall down….as time just slips away…

Middle Eastern acoustic solo -

So say its all a Grand Illusion….just a wild fragment of your mind….so here abandon all delusions….seek out the treasure you will find…within.

Indra’s web of jewels all spread out in the sun…and I can’t recall if I really am one….a simple dewdrop light reflecting all I see…inside the spiders web the lives of you and me….

Inside your mind still taking your time… you’re getting further and further out there….
Inside your mind just taking that ride… you’re getting further and further out there…the light is all you see…reflecting in the dream...

Go forth and conquer the land the war with yourself has shadowed your plans…these castle walls will all fall down…the light is all you seek…

Go forth and conquer your lands the war with yourself has shattered your plans…these castle walls will all fall down…the light is all you see…

It all falls away….It all falls away….It all just slips away… It all falls away…

Into the ether….Into the sun….Its a sorry state of affairs….Into the river….A slave society…..The race is run….They had it all….They didn’t dream…Time takes us….And they lost their way…Through time….They gave it a spin…In time.....Restless…Through time…Stealing time….And the children run...Into the Ether….Time…And who are we…within the ether…..to ask why?

Marching off into oblivion - (Earth = Ether = Heart) - How does your heart beat Earthling?
