In The Beginning

Standing by my window, breathing summer breeze
Saw a figure floating, 'neath the willow trees
Asked us if we were happy, we said we didn't know
Took us by the hands and up we go
We followed the dreamer through the purple hazy clouds
He could control our sense of time
We thought we were lost but no matter how we tried
Everyone was in peace of mind
We felt the sensations drift inside our frames
Finding complete contentment there
And all the tensions that hurt us in the past
Just seemed to vanish in thin air
He said in the cosmos is a single sonic sound
That is vibrating constantly
And if we could grip and hold on to the note
We would see our minds were free, oh they're free
We are lost above
Floating way up high
If you think you can find a way
You can surely try

(Dreamer Deceiver, Judas Priest, Sad Wings of Destiny, 1976)

 

Everyone in life make choices that no one else can understand (Invincible Swordsman).

 

I am the one who guided you this far
All you know and all you feel
Nobody must know my name
For nobody would understand
And you kill what you fear
And you fear what you don't understand

I call you for I must leave
You're on your own until the end
There was a choice but now it's gone
I said, "You wouldn't understand
Take what's yours and be damned"

(Duke Travel, Genesis, Duke, 1980)

 

No cloud, a sleepy calm
Sunbaked earth that's cooled by gentle breeze
And trees with rustling leaves
Only endless days without a care
Nothing must be done
Silent as a day can be
Far-off sounds of others on their chosen run
As they do all those things they feel give life some meaning
Even if they're dull
It's time to stop this dreaming, must rejoin the real world
As revealed by orange lights and a smoky atmosphere
The trees and I are shaken by the same wind but whereas
The trees will lose their withered leaves
I just can't seem to let them loose.
And they can't refresh me those hot winds of the south
Oh I feel like an alien, a stranger in an alien place
Now the light is fading fast
Chances slip away, a time will come to pass
When there'll be none
Then addicted to a perfumed poison
Betrayed by its aftertaste
Oh we shall lose the wonder and find nothing in return
Many are the substitutes but they're powerless on their own
Beware the fisherman who's casting out his line
Into a dried up river bed
But don't try to tell him 'cos he won't believe you
Throw some bread to the ducks instead, it's easier that way
I feel like an alien, a stranger in an alien place
The trees and I are shaken by the same wind but whereas
The trees will lose their withered leaves
I just can't seem to let them loose
And they can't refresh me those hot winds of the south
I feel like an alien, a stranger in an alien place

(Heathaze, Genesis, Duke, 1980)
