[Intro]
\nStart to finish
\nEnd to start
\nCycles turning
\nThrough the dark<\/p>\n
Forward motion
\nBackward glance
\nTime collapsing
\nIn the dance<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\nFront of line becomes the rear
\nDistant futures reappear
\nMoments buried underneath
\nRise again beyond belief<\/p>\n
Ashes fall then forests grow
\nHigh tides fade to rivers low
\nNothing fixed in one direction
\nReality becomes reflection<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nWhat arrives
\nWill someday leave
\nWhat departs
\nReturns beneath<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\nFirst is last
\n(Last is first)
\nFuture is past
\n(Quenched is thirst)<\/p>\n
Rise and fall
\n(Reverse the flow)
\nFast becomes slow
\n(High becomes low)<\/p>\n
[Instrumental Break: Reverse Cymbals, Delayed Guitar Echoes, Rhythmic Synth Arpeggios]<\/p>\n
[Verse 2]
\nMountain peaks erode to sand
\nCities vanish from the land
\nNew beginnings grow from dust
\nTime dissolves the strongest trust<\/p>\n
Seeds become the towering tree
\nThen decay returns to sea
\nOrder shifts and cycles spin
\nWhat moves out comes back again<\/p>\n
[Bridge]
\nCalendars and measured days
\nOnly map the shifting maze
\nPast and future intertwine
\nInside the boundaries of the mind<\/p>\n
Not much permanent remains
\nOnly motion changing names
\nBirth and ending overlap
\nAcross the universal map<\/p>\n
[Build Section: Layered Choir Synths, Intensifying Percussion, Rising Bass Pulses]<\/p>\n
Turn around
\n(Change the view)
\nWhat was old
\n(Becomes the new)<\/p>\n
Close the circle
\n(Start again)
\nTime dissolves
\n(Where things begin)<\/p>\n
[Final Chorus]
\nFirst is last
\n(Last is first)
\nFuture is past
\n(Quenched is thirst)<\/p>\n
Near turns far
\n(Day to night)
\nDark becomes light
\n(Left becomes right)<\/p>\n
[Outro: Fading Clock Sounds, Ambient Drone, Reversed Piano Slowly Dissolves]
\nOne direction
\nRarely stays
\nTime rewrites
\nIts endless phase<\/p>\n
[Silence]<\/p>\n
