Arches Into the Future

This song is specifically about Moab, Utah. Even more specific, the sunrise I saw through the windows there. The windows are arches of the national park, some of many beautiful sights. This song also speaks of nostalgia, and a large realization I had not just on this vacation, but later on. This is about moments I wish to relive, but took for granted in that time, and how I yearn to return, but know I can't in that way. You can always go back to that setting, but you won't be there in the same time again, or same mind. This song also touches on the legends of the windows, and I use it in a way to represent the future, moving forward in time and life. Nothing is forever.

Lyrics:
2:38 - 4:01
Memories of a lifetime
From a world untamed, boundless
Held close to keep a semblance
Of what this world once knew
A foreboding tone repeats on
To drown the sounds of desperate cries
Engraved within recollection
Revival of the deepest thoughts
5:02 - 5:45
Removing stress to reach further
Outside of our vision and mind
Procession to the outer realms
The fringes of our awareness
Digging into the subconscious
To reveal all inward visuals
Projecting them into a dream state
Entranced through the pineal eye
7:40 - 7:52
Windows into a rising sun
Engulfed in the hues arising
Surrounded in painted deserts
Pillars into the astral spheres
8:02 - 8:13
Windows into the new dawn
A reminder of the cycles
Everything will return itself
Permanence ceases its meaning
8:59 - 10:05
Arches to the future
Eternal cycles of night and day
Upon the horizon
Let the stars guide you to the windows
Gaze upon the glory
These final memories to be held
Arches to the future
Eternal cycles of night and day
Upon the horizon
Let the stars guide you to the windows
Remember the mantra
Nothing is forever, carpe diem
13:32 - 16:03
Spoken:
Live within these memories
Reject this material and embrace eternity
Become part of the whole
You are starspawn
THESE MEMORIES - HOLD THEM DEAR
THEY WILL BE YOUR LAST
I'D KILL TO RELIVE THESE MEMORIES
NOTHING IS ETERNAL
BUT THE SLOW CRAWL OF TIME…
EMBRACE ETERNITY
EMBRACE THESE ARCHES
WINDOWS INTO OTHER WORLDS
I'D KILL TO RELIVE THEM
NOTHING IS ETERNAL
BUT THE SLOW CRAWL OF TIME…
YOU ARE STARSPAWN
