Chapter I-steeple Of Forgotten Knowledge lyrics

[Gates of Experience Part I]







Four creatures are surrounding me



Observing and influencing the actions



The lion is enthroned by the powers of the eagle



An angel offers a call as a sacrifice







The fearless searching soul



Ki-aga-bi na-nam ki-aga-bi na-nam



Is wrapped in a black robe



en e-kur-ra ki-aga-bi na-nam



Whispers lost and ancient phrases



ni-nam sa-ge al-da-ga-za



To open his mind



ni-kal-kal-la sa-ge-gara-za







The red coach is lowed by the lion with speed



The prince who is kneeing, a symbol of fire, you see



The Phoenix expresses certainty and power



He touches the dimensioins of ordinary life



Black and white are two symbols of dualism



The high priest is able to divide them and mix together



He is the keeper of the key to the twilight kingdom



And he observes the laws of the four creatures







Mind of the lion



Thoughts of the eagle



Imagination of the soul



Feelings of the calf







[Gates of Experience Part II]







The sleeple towers over the cloud cover



Reaching unknown levels of knowledge



The battlements appear threatening



I walk through the gate of imagination







For step by step



I reach new levels



The sun turns black



I reach the top







A pedestal towers over a sea of rain



I'm draining the cap of sorrow to the last







The sleeple towers over the cloud cover



Reaching unknown levels of knowledge



The battlements appear threatening



I walk through the gate of imagination







The soul is downcasted



The cup is overcrowded



Too many occurences



Have taken place
