Lyrics by Ed Zero:

I. INTRODUCTION

II. ECHOES OF THE DAY
Some things may amaze you
The echoes of the day
How true can be what you live?
What you're seeing out there
There is something magical
Within the reality
The man's grown, the monkey's gone
But something's missing here

Then years become centuries
The world's still here
Frescoes and oils with hidden meanings
That you cannot feel
It's very nostalgic
To remember while see
But it's impossible to live
What happened in five thousand years

Take a little breath
Take a moment to count all the things that you know today
And how many things you'll never learn
What about outer space?
Just as big as the extension of your mental space
And we, we are sailing the vastness

Take a little rest
Just a moment to dream all the dreams that you've never dreamt
What is beauty just remains there
Back to reality, there's no bound, you're free
But you'll never see where infinity lives
Cause we are sailing the vastness

III. WE NEED TO STOP

So many things I have to shout about, but I can't explain
How could I start?
Do we realize how deep and complex is the realm
Our inner self inhabits all the time?
Should I figure it out?
Or live without knowing anything, just run and don't stop
But the doubt is knocking at my face when
I sit and see how time is dying so fast

We don't learn how machines run
We think we know where we must go
Look the mighty world it's hiding when gloomy nights falls

How did we get here? We moved so far
Like a comet across the sky
Is there anybody moving pieces on the dashboard of our lives?
Well you could read and search everywhere
But you'll never know in depth
Many people do not care
And we just run and we need to stop

We don't learn how the world works
We live and die around the clock
Look the mighty world it's hiding when gloomy nights falls

How did we get here? We moved so far
Like a comet across the sky
Is there anybody moving pieces on the dashboard of our lives?
Well you could read and search everywhere
But you'll never know in depth
Many people do not care
And we just run and we need to stop

How did we get here? We moved so far
Like a comet across the sky
Is there anybody moving pieces on the dashboard of our lives?
Well you could read and search everywhere
But you'll never know in depth
Many people do not care
And we just run and we need to stop

IV. REVELATION

Are you looking for a revelation?
Any word from above, a divine intervention?
Just a quiet silence when you need protection
To face the war that's going on inside your bones

I'd like to know how to deal with consternation
When seeking answers in complete isolation
It seems like you are all alone
But something's there if you dig down deep enough to the bottom

Stop and look at there, you are wasting time
Searching lights in darkness but you are being so blind
Just take a look inside yourself and go on
And on and on

It is kind of striking the way things can be
In and outside the spirit of human beings
How can this be possible?
Sometimes' not real it seems that we are living a dream

Stop and look at there, you are wasting time
Searching lights in darkness but you are being so blind
Just take a look inside yourself and go on
And on and on

Why are we here? Why is everything like this?
Is this the way things must be?
Or is there anything more that might exist?
I don't understand
But you can feel the flame
I know that something is living inside our heads

I don't understand
But you can feel the flame
I know that something is living inside our heads
I don't understand
But you can feel the flame
Something's living in the vastness inside your land

V. FIND THE PLACE

I can be happy and secure but
I'm sure there's something more that I don't know
I don't know how to explain
I don't even know what we are looking for
What's the deal with the world

But there's a door, inside our world
To another one
But with a thousand lives you won't realize
How vast is your world
We're sailing the vastness, we're sailing the greatness
From here to the afterworld

Take a little breath
Just a moment to feel and realize what you are seeing today
How many things you may learn
What about outer space?
Just as big as the extension of your mental space
And we, we are sailing
Cause we, we are sailing
Yes we are sailing the vastness

I don't mind if there's someone else
I may not care about life and death
But I can tell that in the vastness that we sail
Everyone finds their place some day
