Transcending Time

Drifting in a far off place I roam the countryside Seeking wings of thought Waiting in the blind Enchanted and transfixed I am pulled into the still By a backward ticking clock Held against my will Illusions turn to dust Scatter to the wind Like dreaming while awake Signals in the mist Altered state of mind Stars in the abyss Transcending time Midnight in the garden Digging for a spark Where seeds of inspiration Lie buried in the dark Attention starts to wonder As the poet lifts his pen And the critic from within Is silenced once again Limits leave no trace Ashes in the rain Lost and far away Signals in the mist Altered state of mind Stars in the abyss Transcending time Signals in the mist Stars in the abyss Euphoric obsession Without conscious intention Being pulled by the current On a vessel steered by someone else Transcending time, transcending time Transcending time, transcending time --- Transcending Time - Dream Theater
