They say its all for nothing
Creation no more than a place of mocking woe
A waking wait in slumberland (yeah, time is a lion - no one can rely on it)
They're asking, "Where's my promised glory, where's my fate?"
They don't know they're closer to the truth than God (so sentimental)
They're the seekers sick and pleading for the vision to see
Eternity
A cloud to make a home, some alchemy of life's debris
They are seekers who will live to die of wishing to see
Eternity
Trade imitations for the wonderful law
We stand in heaven's doorway, in hell's parade at every moment
So instead of mourning why not let's celebrate
Every day out of life
In place of real emotion
Kill off that little love your heart can find
For those not of your kind
Be that your foolish maker's disaster plan?
Oh yeah, you got it in writing
They're the wonders not perceiving they're a wake on the sea
Eternity
Clean as the stars are old
Ever the burning brightly free
We are wonders ever feeding what the minute could be
Eternity
Leave all your bets, it's such a wonderful law
Rare as the dust of worlds on one finger is your bone and memory
And love is only love, a cold wind can turn it to pain
We could be all we ever wanted
Or head for a crash landing
