Far across the water, far across the sea, magician among the spirits, the next delivery
|
And the scene is set up, the boy who lost his mind, a sudden smell of ether as machines unwind
|
Universe of distant stars chilling in its failings
|
With planets spinning deep in space parading all its flavours
|
We sit and stare into the night and contemplate forever
|
Slip away into your dreams, conclude that we may never
|
|
Out and past the harbour where the sharks dream (stream ?) in the waves
|
Magician among the spirits is drowning in a cave
|
As Solomon's my witness, as Gabriel is my guard (god ?)
|
Garden of the lovely ones in the devil's back yard (?)
|
|
Hand of God sprinkle jewels inside the velvet ceiling
|
Filling up our unsure hearts with wonder, awe and feeling
|
All the eyes are staring down and glitter like small children
|
Their secrets kept, lost in thought, looking at what fueled them
|
|
Singing 'bout the old times, sepia and faded
|
Magician among the spirits the past has been invaded
|
Robert Houdini in the distance, we look up through the water
|
See the comet's silver trail, see the planets falter
|
|
|
Vast science, eternal night shrouded in dark mazes
|
Runes and tunes preconceived flowing through their phases
|
Your air or cover (??) wind is dead, consequences endless
|
Speed of light and empty time your borders to defenders (?)
|
|
(Marty's evil chuckle)
|
|
Walking in the wilderness with my pale sister
|
Magician among the spirits I said how much I miss her
|
Jackson on the slipstream, he's moving all around
|
Chasing tiny orphans, following the sounds, following the sounds
|
|
Fragile and delirious, cannot understand it
|
Magician among the spirits, Electra and Miranda
|
Passed you in a corridor you were drinking Grenadine
|
Drinking liquid happiness your tears could not be seen, tears could not be seen
|
|
Violent sun propels its rays to seek out beings breathing
|
Ancient craft that waltz the maze of metal shells beneath me
|
And dust that swirls, of reddened clouds, floats above the surface
|
Deserted landscape slips away, forgotten secret purpose
|
|
|
Thin film of moisture, condensing on the screen
|
Magician among the spirits are you with us, Christine ? Do you really remember the boy I used to be ?
|
With you every single night in February
|
|
All this ectoplasm believe in ghosts (?)
|
Magician among the spirits, Lord of hosts
|
Here we are tonight we're speaking to the light (?)
|
Magician among the spirits, make it alright (repeat.)
|
|
|
(Translated from Swedish by Thomas Norin)
|
"Magician!, magician!, my star!
|
From where on earth do you look out, into outer space!
|
I am in a forest heather!
|
You shall not find me again!
|
Farewell my daughters, I'll see you soon!"
