Alrihkh All that digging in the mud pays off when you end up holding a buried gem like this aloft. There is a rare depth and quality here—and a sparsity of occlusions. As someone else stated, this is a prog/psyche masterpiece! Meaningful lyrics combined with rich & classic prog sound textures—including flute and sax—make this a grand psychedelic trip. The solos bring to mind those of Golden Earring’s Moontan album; wonderfully expressive & soulfully immersive.
Thanks, Hypnos 69! 9/10. Favorite track: The Great Work.

Craving the Future, the Dawn of the Light Arise in a distance, the Shimmering Night The Light from the Moon, summons our doom She walks on the ocean, but liquefies soon Unified but caught within this Spell we knew so well Waking forever, the Signs of the Past Hiding in symbols and uprising fast The Rays of the Sun, divide us as One Into the ocean, our sunset began Unified but caught within this Spell we knew so well In the Glare of the Light I witness second sight Into her bleeding heart of gold In the haze of the night, I reach out to the Light Into her bleeding heart of gold In the Glare of the Light I witness second sight Into her bleeding heart of gold That I unfold Craving the Future, the Dawn of the Light Arise in a distance, the Shimmering Night The Night and the Moon, summon our doom And die in the ocean, but rising up soon Unified but caught within this Spell we knew so well Seeker of truths Fountain of youth All we see, is unreal to me Starlight – day and night Shining through My Requiem for you

By always thinking I keep the subject Constantly before me And wait ‘til the first Dawnings open Little by little Into full light Shining bright Newton’s insight Into the Eye of Ra Disillusion Mind confusion Eager to reveal God’s diffusion The first Dawnings open Little by little Into full light Shining bright Newton’s insight Into the Eye of Ra Ancient wisdom From Mists of time Waits to be revealed For mankind The first Dawnings open Little by little Into full light Shining bright Newton’s insight Into the Eye of Ra He watched and saw The Great Work’s awe

Walk upon the Road to Shangri-la Reveal in disarray Reaching out for these distant shores Lost in light of day Endless spells cast this life bizarre Unveiling My Journey to the Stars Walk upon the Road to Shangri-la Reveal in all delight Reaching out for these distant shores Lost in dark of night Endless spells cause my soul to roam I’m Star bound And feel like going home

Grey misty morning and ran out of faith The same old stories – whispers – shades Inside my Insight A lifetime we’ve spent Together now ends We sadly lament Dreams, misty mourning I’m waiting for rain And I’m yearning To wash away Inside my Insight A lifetime we’ve spent Together now ends We sadly lament

Flashing Minds Synthesize Stars of mourning Where Osiris lies My time has come I feel so strong God only knows Where I belong Watch the stars And save your soul Behind these eyes My final goal My time has come I feel so strong God only knows Where I belong Step through dimensions In seven tensions And walk the water Into another I foresee the future From the past I shout For sanctuary And Time ran out

Jerusalem 06:51
It's where I'm living In heaven or in hell Jerusalem The place where Angels fell One Man sailing the World The truth ascending With chains that bind us here Jerusalem The place where God is near One man saving the World Are we forgiving Into the eyes of Ra Jerusalem Where God will never die One man saving the World
7.
A Spirit wanders in the Skies Above It makes all illuminate Below It lights the candles of my wandering soul Unveiling mysteries untold I share my Prophecies unto a world that I forsake If our Creator had a Masterplan He’d guide us gently through the Land And show us Secrets yet unknown to Man Mysteries to understand I share my prophecies unto a world that I forsake Retrieve my Legacy out of this dream you will awake Ancient philosophy, guided by the Snake Astray theology, into a last mistake

about

Legacy:
Tells the tale of the Apple of Eden, the Philosophers Stone, the Egyptian mfkt, or the Biblical Manna and how it got lost on the Dark Rivers of Time. Symbolic for this journey are the writings of Isaac Newton and the intriguing insight he had on the Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistus. The artwork by Italian graphic artists Malleus illustrates the concept of the Apple and the Snake of Eden, the oldest reference to Hermeticism and ancient Alchemy and our legacy of a higher knowledge.
