Play the role and name the perfect Touch my eyes with naked hands The empty sound will rise from golden halls again Let me travel on in time What you named was left behind The foreign place of active secrets Where I will find a home I've found them close behind A sudden taste of marble ground Spreading lies around To see what they become Infinity once recalled Apprentice of the trail Deciding what can be Extending the shapes of time Hear the call from goodbye-nature Whispers heard from sources deep Some will tell what lies ahead When lights are out Let me travel in your mind What you named was left behind Familiar places of delusion Where I'll be left alone The beggar has left and the stage is closed The sentence he sought that could Bring down the rain Exposing his face, as needless change Two-fold anonymity Push them aside, testing their pride The pattern he broke when the edge was blunt His permanent smile was the guardian of life Disturbing my dream, with powdered greed Pointless insecurity All of the land, sunk in the sand Play the role, an hour of sadness Show my eyes the naked truth The dust of life Will hide from me the mournful tides Let me be that phrase in time Formulate the perfect mind The inner way would be my guide And leave me in decline
