The Church - Magician Among The Spirits lyrics
Your rating:
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!"
