Infinite dreams

[tele]

To every D boy and girl out there;

...

Even though it reached new heights
I rather like the restless nights
It makes me wonder, it makes me think
There's more to this, I'm on the brink
It's not the fear of what's beyond
It's just that I might not respond
I have an interest almost craving
Would I like to get too far in?

It can't be all coincidence
Too many things are evident
You tell me "You're an unbeliever"
Spiritualist? Well me, I'm neither
But wouldn't you like to know
The truth
Of what's out there to have the proof
And find out just which side
You're on
Where would you end in Heaven or
In Hell?

Help me! Help me to find my true
Self without seeing the future
Save me, save me from torturing
Myself even within my dreams

There's got to be just more to it
Than this
Or tell me why do we exist
I'd like to think that when I die
I'd get a chance another time
And to return and live again
Reincarnate, play the game
Again and again and again and again

Love this album.

At the time it came out, this was the first metal album that I'd heard to express mystical leanings in such a way, both sonically and lyrically. Dope. This was before Therion, before Tool and all the current slew of occult/spiritual metal we have these days. Before this, any occult themed metal was way more geared torward the dark, lurid and sometimes silly "evil". I'll say it again, Dope.
