Haken - Crystallised lyrics

I close my eyes and slip away
And long for change within the air
Hope fills my soul, I realise
I have the sky under my feet
Sun up above, I am complete
Joy fills my heart in paradise

I sense your hand searching for mine (I am)
Falling through time (Falling through time)
I feel your love reaching across (Transcend)
All the years we lost (The years we lost)

Someone's calling (Someone's calling) me
Echoes of a childhood memory

Eyes open wide as I awake
I sense no change within the air
Hope leaves my soul, I paralyse
This world of pain and suffering
Creeps into me and once again
I mourn the loss of innocence



If I could run away (Run away)
Back to my innocent days

Someone's calling (Someone's calling) me
Echoes of a childhood memory
Someone's calling (Someone's calling) me
Echoes of a childhood memory

Passages of time
Buried in the chaos of my mind
Chronicles of life
Concealing a truth I left behind

Passages of time
Buried in the chaos of my mind
Chronicles of life
Concealing a truth I can't deny

Moon begins to rise
Reflecting on a life once sanctified
Night begins to fall
Voices of my youth, immutable

Memories collide
My scattered soul is almost unified
Thoughts are in full flight
Enveloping a wisdom earned with time

Passages of time (Passages of time)
Stripping back the layers of my mind
Chronicles of life (Chronicles of life)
Unraveling a truth which I must find

Passages of time (Passages of time)
Stripping back the layers of my mind
Chronicles of life (Chronicles of life)
Unraveling a truth I kept inside

Snow is falling all around
What once was lost has now been found
The life I had to leave behind
Is crystallising in my mind

Reminiscing on the past
A bygone time that could not last
(Reminiscing on a bygone time)
The splintered crystal of my prime
Is now a bell that will not chime
(Splintered crystal prime
A bell that will not chime)
(Splintering the crystal
A bell that will not chime)

The crystallising thoughts of youth
They flood my mind and show me truth
(Crystallising thoughts of my faded youth)
(Thoughts flood my mind in truth
A faded youth)
My soul was free in days of yore
(The snow is falling)
A white seed that for once was pure
(Flood my mind and bringeth waves of truth)

The snow is falling all around
What once was lost has now been found
(Now the echoes of a false lullaby)
(I reminisce on the past, a time gone by)
The life I had to leave behind
(New life is calling)
Is crystallising in my mind
(Like a black seed in a bed of lies)
(Splintering the crystal
A bell that will not chime, I will return)

Snow is falling all around
What once was lost has now been found
The life I had to leave behind
Is crystallising in my mind

Reminiscing on the past
A bygone time that could not last
The splintered crystal of my prime
Is now a bell that will not chime

The snow is falling all around
What once was lost has now been found
(Thoughts flood my mind in truth
A faded youth)
The life I had to leave behind
(The snow is falling)
Is crystallising in my mind

Reminiscing on the past
A bygone time that could not last
(I reminisce on the past, a time gone by)
The splintered crystal of my prime
(New life is calling)
Is now a bell that will not chime
(I will return)

I have returned
To the springtime in the garden
Seeds are sown, flowers grow
And the child is born again

Filled with delight
And the laughter is contagious
As we dance, as we sing
Celebrating 'til the end

Joy and respite on the faces of the children
With a smile, realise
That their love will never end

I have received affirmation of the spirit
Falling snow takes me home
And the man is whole again

Mind open wide as I awake
I sense a change within myself
Hope feeds my soul, I realise
I feel the earth under my feet
Son by my side, I am complete
Pride fills my heart in paradise

If I could run away
Hearts open wide as I awake
I sense a change within myself
Love feeds my soul, I realise
I'd choose to live for today
This world of pain and suffering
Ignites in me and once again
Sparks the rebirth of innocence

Someone's calling (Someone's calling) me
Echoes of a childhood memory
Someone's calling (Someone's calling) me
Echoes of a childhood memory

The moon will rise the night will fall
I hold your hand but, you let go

The sun will shine the snow will thaw
All things must pass into the unknown

The moon will rise (Escaping the past)
The night will fall
I hold your hand (By embracing the future)
But, you let go

The sun will shine (Escaping the past)
The snow will thaw all things must pass
(By embracing the future) into the unknown

The moon will rise (Escaping the past)
The night will fall
I hold your hand (By embracing the future)
But, you let go (You let go)

The sun will shine (Escaping the past)
The snow will thaw all things must pass
(By embracing the future)
Into the unknown (Into the unknown)

Escaping the past by embracing the future
Escaping the past by embracing the future
