lyrics
IN A DANCE OF TIME
1 :
In the moon, in a star, in their hand
With a certain idea of man
In a dance of Time
In a dance of Time
2 :
On a hill, on a map, on a crown
In a journey, underground
In a dance of Time
In a dance of Time
3 :
In the dreams, In the shape of clouds
In the garland of their thoughts
In a dance of Time
In a dance of Time
4 :
In the fall, in the rise, on the walls
In the shadows, in tomorrows
In a dance of Time
In a dance of Time
Chorus :
They will try to write their name
And it will be washed away by the rain
They will try to draw a flame
All the moves and all the traces
Will be soon gone with the rain
5 :
In a fear, in the far, in the wind
In the near and in the unseen
In a dance of Time
In a dance of Time
6 :
In the north, in the east, through the wild
In the sweetness of a smile
In a dance of Time
In a dance of Time
Chorus :
They will try to write their name
And it will be washed away by the rain
They will try to keep the flame
All the moves and all the traces
Will they soon be gone?
Bridge :
A work of grace
Or a state of loss
All the makers all the keepers
Will they dance in vain?
A state of Man
Or a work in mind
All the makers all the keepers
Will they dance in vain in the race of time?
7 :
In the books, in the mouths, in the air
In the middle of nowhere
In a dance of Time
In a dance of Time
8 :
In the graves, in the light, in the waves
In all ends and all beginnings
In a dance of Time
In a dance of Time
Chorus :
They will try to sing their name
Some say no one ever tries, ever sings in vain
They will try to save the flame
All the moves and all the traces
Will be dancing in the rain
