Nebular Moon - Chapter I - "Steeple Of Forgotten Knowledge&q lyrics

rate me

[Lyrics: Markus Esch]

[Gates of Experience Part I]

Four creatures are surrounding me

Observing and influencing the actions

The lion is enthroned by the powers of the eagle

An angel offers a call as a sacrifice

The fearless searching soul

Ki-aga-bi na-nam ki-aga-bi na-nam

Is wrapped in a black robe

en e-kur-ra ki-aga-bi na-nam

Whispers lost and ancient phrases

ni-nam sa-ge al-da-ga-za

To open his mind

ni-kal-kal-la sa-ge-gara-za

The red coach is lowed by the lion with speed

The prince who is kneeing, a symbol of fire, you see

The Phoenix expresses certainty and power

He touches the dimensioins of ordinary life

Black and white are two symbols of dualism

The high priest is able to divide them and mix together

He is the keeper of the key to the twilight kingdom

And he observes the laws of the four creatures

Mind of the lion

Thoughts of the eagle

Imagination of the soul

Feelings of the calf

[Gates of Experience Part II]

The sleeple towers over the cloud cover

Reaching unknown levels of knowledge

The battlements appear threatening

I walk through the gate of imagination

For step by step

I reach new levels

The sun turns black

I reach the top

A pedestal towers over a sea of rain

I'm draining the cap of sorrow to the last

The sleeple towers over the cloud cover

Reaching unknown levels of knowledge

The battlements appear threatening

I walk through the gate of imagination

The soul is downcasted

The cup is overcrowded

Too many occurences

Have taken place
