Church - Magician Among The Spirits lyrics
rate meFar across the water, far across the sea, magician among the spirits, the next delivery<br />
And the scene is set up, the boy who lost his mind, a sudden smell of ether as machines unwind <br />
Universe of distant stars chilling in it's failings<br />
With planets spinning deep in space parading all it's flavours<br />
We sit and stare into the night and contemplate forever<br />
Slip away into your dreams, conclude that we may never <br />
<br />
Out and past the harbour where the sharks dream (stream ?) in the waves<br />
Magician among the spirits is drowning in a cave<br />
As Solomon's my witness, as Gabriel is my guard (god ?)<br />
Garden of the lovely ones in the devil's back yard (?) <br />
<br />
Hand of God sprinkle jewels inside the velvet ceiling<br />
Filling up our unsure hearts with wonder, awe and feeling<br />
All the eyes are staring down and glitter like small children<br />
Their secrets kept, lost in thought, looking at what fueled them <br />
<br />
Singing 'bout the old times, sepia and faded<br />
Magician among the spirits the past has been invaded<br />
Robert Houdini in the distance, we look up through the water<br />
See the comet's silver trail, see the planets falter<br />
<br />
<br />
Vast science, eternal night shrouded in dark mazes<br />
Runes and tunes preconceived flowing through their phases<br />
Your air or cover (??) wind is dead, consequences endless<br />
Speed of light and empty time your borders to defenders (?) <br />
<br />
(Marty's evil chuckle) <br />
<br />
Walking in the wilderness with my pale sister<br />
Magician among the spirits I said how much I miss her<br />
Jackson on the slipstream, he's moving all around<br />
Chasing tiny orphans, following the sounds, following the sounds <br />
<br />
Fragile and delirious, cannot understand it <br />
Magician among the spirits, Electra and Miranda<br />
Passed you in a corridor you were drinking Grenadine<br />
Drinking liquid happiness your tears could not be seen, tears could not be seen <br />
<br />
Violent sun propels it's rays to seek out beings breathing<br />
Ancient craft that waltz the maze of metal shells beneath me<br />
And dust that swirls, of reddened clouds, floats above the surface<br />
Deserted landscape slips away, forgotten secret purpose<br />
<br />
<br />
Thin film of moisture, condensing on the screen<br />
Magician among the spirits are you with us, Christine ? Do you really remember the boy I used to be ?<br />
With you every single night in February <br />
<br />
All this ectoplasm believe in ghosts (?)<br />
Magician among the spirits, Lord of hosts<br />
Here we are tonight we're speaking to the light (?)<br />
Magician among the spirits, make it alright (repeat.)<br />
<br />
<br />
(Translated from Swedish by Thomas Norin)<br />
"Magician!, magician!, my star!<br />
From where on earth do you look out, into outer space!<br />
I am in a forest heather!<br />
You shall not find me again!<br />
Farewell my daughters, I'll see you soon!"
