A lush ballad which I have to say I am particularily fond of. Deals with communication between people (or rather, the lack thereof) and endless misunderstandings and all the hostility and hatred that follows.
lyrics
Just a flash for a moment passed
One mind emerged from a dual sense of hope and faith
If you're not there to hear, nonetheless words did rear
For an eye detatched by fear that seas would dry
And in visions of worlds denying, it's not easy to clear out the reasons so dreary
Lowering the hopes
Dreams are getting old
Stories remain untold
So many times when words run out in desperate shouting
When the aeons of silence turn upon us all
That's the time when we'd hear them out, the ones for whom the visions broke
When the rites of diversion cease to call for battle
No sooner can the means unfold and pens weigh out the sword
Did you wave? Did you crave?
Have you ever felt desire to reform these inner feelings on the fields of mutual value?
Cries are best when in need for solace
Unfold understanding, show me dreams, show everything
When the worth of a writ lies in the ink, no more, how can I take her wink for real?
Had the jester been down with the truth, who would listen?
As the claim for an answer lies within a million minds, beheld by heralded dooms
If there's noone to read, good intents won't reveal
For thousands of years, with the same kind of fears, we strived for putting our stories to behold
But still the words are there for none to hear
Did you see? Did you feel?
Have you ever felt desire to reform these inner feelings on the fields of mutual value?
Cries are best when in need for solace
Unfold understanding, show me dreams, show everything
When the aeons of silence turn upon us all
That's the time when we'd hear them out, the ones for whom the visions broke
When the wits of compassion call, that's when we realise the intents are lying in me and the meanings lie in you
