Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Dm][D][Em][Dm]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
Because of [Em]things
remembered
Nothing changes; we simply follow
Rhythms that are distant echoes
Ancestors turning in their
[D]sleep[B][Em]
Silhouetted on the future
Playful figures that cut
across the winking eye
Of God's projector
A partial eclipse of the original [G]light
[Em]That eminates in all directi[G]ons[Em]
So the darkness [Am]is n't p[B]ierced,
but rather
Forced to retreat
Pushed out by its own internal
explosion
The screen of God's movie is
time [D]expand[Dm]ing
[D]And every atom is a solid [Dm]globular mirror
In which His grotesque anamorphic grin
Splits the [D]dark[Em]ness!

[Verse 2]
[Chorus] Everywhere [Em]our
world's expanding
[D]Journeys [Em]through the soul[D][Dm]
[Em]Past all thought and understanding
[D]Science [Em]or contr[D]ol[Em]
[D]

[Interlude 1]
[Em][Dm][D][Em]

[Verse 3]
Looking [Em]to the future
Is looking at the past
In whichever direction you happen to face
You were forward,
and I was slipping [D]back[B][Em]
In the time it takes for the light
of the stars to stir
The retina, rods and cones
History's in the beholder's eye
Fait accompli
Dans [B]un outre androit
The further away we are,
the farther back we see
Unless
We could gaze instantly
across the sound
Where, moored like [D]ships,
[Dm]planets anchored
Swing and sway
Golden barges laden down with mists
and frozen crystals
[Em]Dancing [D]away![Em][D][Em]
[D][Em][D][Em]

[Chorus x 2]
