lyrics

One day we were walking
And really got to talking
That’s when we found ourselves… overwhelmed by it all

We spoke of all the secrets
In the universe around us
All that which surrounds us
So I set out to find
The answer to the grandeur
The source of all wonder
Now I’ll share the secret
That I have found

I can see it all
Contained within this
Wondrous fireball
Gifting life to us
Forever he’ll glow
Though his return is slow

After all that thinking
My reality was shrinking
Everything was shifting
And my thoughts were always drifting
All of evolution
Life in disillusion
Powered by Revolution

I can see it all
Contained within this
Wondrous fireball
Gifting life to us
Forever he’ll glow
Though his return is slow

Helios charges across the sky
Why must he die

I can see it all
Contained within this
Wondrous fireball
Gifting life to us
Forever he’ll glow
Though his return is slow
