[Verse 1]
EmHigh upon this hill
Lives a king and daDughter
CEman you hear their songs
Echo across the wDater?
[Verse 2]
They sEming of times long past
When the world was quDiet
SimpEmlicity and beauty
Reigned over the Bm7realms
[Pre-Chorus]
There was time to sCavor
There was time Emto spare
There was understDanding
Among the people everCywhere
[Chorus]
That God was our creEmator
But without nature, we're no mAore
Than seeds of promise and potEmential
Floating rootless as befAore
Through the vast and empty sEmpaces
Trapped in somewhere in betwAeen
Conscious thought and drEmeaming
Projecting and perceAiving
[Post-Chorus]
Reality's a cConstruct
Agreed upon Emby all
It's time to reawDaken
And hear the spirit cCall

Lies a fairy kDingdom

Like memories from chDildhood
A fEmaint and distant calling
Your senses are entBm7hralled

Now the chiming starts subsDiding
Until it's barely evCen there

Where it's gone you cannot Emfollow
You are forced to look withAin
There you find a crystal chEmamber
Now, the journey can begAin
There's a pyramid in EmEgypt
You have travelled there befAore
See it now in your mEmind's eye
And walk toward the dAoor

Enter with your bCody
Enter with yEmour soul
The world has been divDided
Through you, it is mCade whole

[Verse 1]

High upon this hill

Lives a king and daughter

Can you hear their songs

Echo across the water?

[Verse 2]

They sing of times long past

When the world was quiet

Simplicity and beauty

Bm7

Reigned over the realms

[Pre-Chorus]

There was time to savor

There was time to spare

There was understanding

Among the people everywhere

[Chorus]

That God was our creator

But without nature, we're no more

Than seeds of promise and potential

Floating rootless as before

Through the vast and empty spaces

Trapped in somewhere in between

Conscious thought and dreaming

Projecting and perceiving

[Post-Chorus]

Reality's a construct

Agreed upon by all

It's time to reawaken

And hear the spirit call

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]

Deep inside this forest

Lies a fairy kingdom

Can you hear the bells

Carried on the breeze?

[Verse 4]

They feel somewhat familiar

Like memories from childhood

A faint and distant calling

Bm7

Your senses are enthralled

[Pre-Chorus]

Your heart is filled with longing

Grace permeates the air

Now the chiming starts subsiding

Until it's barely even there

[Chorus]

Where it's gone you cannot follow

You are forced to look within

There you find a crystal chamber

Now, the journey can begin

There's a pyramid in Egypt

You have travelled there before

See it now in your mind's eye

And walk toward the door

[Pre-Chorus]

Enter with your body

Enter with your soul

The world has been divided

Through you, it is made whole

[Chorus]

That God was our creator

Without nature we're no more

Than seeds of promise and potential

Floating rootless as before

Through the vast and empty spaces

Trapped in somewhere in between

Conscious thought and dreaming

Projecting and perceiving

[Post-Chorus]

Reality's a construct

Agreed upon by all

It's time to reawaken

And hear the spirit call
