Lyrics
Sea and storm swung our boat; Dreamily, I was completely at the whim of waves, While two infinities Played willfully inside me. Crashing rocks sounded And shafts of wind whistled and sang. In the sounds of chaos I flew deafened; Above the sounds of chaos my dream rushed... The painful-bright, mute-magic, Hung suspended easily above the roaring darkness, In beams of fire it destroyed the world, The Earth turned green, the ether glowed... Gardens, labyrinths, halls, pillars... And in wonder the rustle of the infinite crowds. I learned of unknown persons: Ripened creatures of magic, enigmatic birds,a014 On wondrous heights I walked proudly, The motionless world under me lay... Through dreams as wild as the wizard's howl, Only the roar of abyss sea was heard, And in silent areas of images and dreams The foam of the roaring shaft rushed.
