Terra Incognita  
Inner Fire
 

It's unbelievable what a great need people have for someone to ensure them that their lives are not hopeless. They like to hear that they too, without exception, are important factors in this vast eternal cycle we call fate. However, they're simultaneously capable of blindly believing what they're told, or twisting it to their own advantage. They're prone to becoming fanatical; and it's only a fine line that separates fanaticism from barbarism. However, he roamed the streets with ever-increasing self-confidence, relentlessly driven by some unexplainable, unrestrainable inner fire... But one morning, he set out with a worried expression on his face. I asked what was wrong, but he only said, "I'm afraid..." and kept on going...

I. Inner Fire

On wings of wind, our words take flight
And find hearts as they go by.
I'll supply the answer
If someone's full of fright
Cos for some unknown reason hope always dies.

Now I feel the weight of
All the words in flight
Here, the masses come in hope of a better life
I'll supply the answer
If someone's full of fright
Cos up until lately that was just my plight

I feel an inner fire
That burns in my heart
And gives me life!
If you sense it
Ask my opinion
And I'll tell you
Hope's alive!!!

A prophet lives amongst us here
N' everyone's cheering him
A message from the heavens
That publisheth the Light
It's the genuine, pure Awakening

All I want's for everyone to realize
To help them rediscover
Help them to recognize...
Life-eternal waits for everyone
But our dreams we have to deal with: live them
Or simply reach them down here on this Earth

II. Midnight

All alone 'round about midnight
Getting home at the end of the day
She's upstairs, soundly sleeping...
The darkness melts into the silent haze

Somewhere off in the kingdom of slumber
Where the body floats in time
Mystery has taken shape now
I feel a hand - lighter than light
An angelic face - right in my face...

III. Final Justice

ANGEL: "You know the secret about light
Well, I don't care how
But you went out there and told them
That's too much for us now

Don't think that they'll be better off
Their foolish faith is wrong
Kind words are useless from now on
Help ease all the suffering!"

III. Surrounded by Doubt

And once again it's morning
It's tough, but still I'm going
To preach the new word now to all mankind...
What if they misinterpret
What if they just don't get it
And head out on their own towards the light?
