[To the Memory of Frank Belknap Long (1901-1994)]

[Inspired by his tales "The Flame Of Life" and "Giants In The Sky"]



[Intro Acoustic Lead: Perry]



Out in the distance the voices are calling

High in the night, the sirens are blaring

Will we survive or just fade away...



Humankind bleeding with arrogance

To not realize they're so insignificant

Adapt to change and leave the Earth behind...

Behind... Behind!



Flame of life - reach the core of space

Suspend time - reach eternity



Won't you tell my future?

The unknown is waiting

Won't you tell my future?

Memory is fading

Won't you tell my future?

Words are forever

Won't you tell my future?

The unknown is waiting



When the final days are approaching

Watch the arrogant ones burn themselves out

Legacy of the obscure

The remaining force going beyond... beyond...



Flame of life the creative mind

Suspend time reach throughout the years

Flame of life reach the core of space

Suspend time reach eternity



Won't you tell my future?

The unknown is waiting

Won't you tell my future?

Memory is fading

Won't you tell my future?

Words are forever

Won't you tell my future?

The unknown is waiting



[Leads: Perry, Dan]



To die as a pauper, while memories remains

To live an outsider, outcast from this time

Masses fall into self destruction

Vanish from greed into oblivion



Won't you tell my future?

The unknown is waiting

Won't you tell my future?

Memory is fading

Won't you tell my future?

Words are forever

Won't you tell my future?

The unknown is waiting
