about

Dedicated to Tami Stronach, an actress and a dancer who played 'Childlike Empress' in the 1984 'Never-Ending Story' film. The song contains a sample of her phrase.

lyrics

We reach to see within penumbra of the past
The afterglow of somewhat better age
Dig up the heaps of long-recycled memories, and still
Can`t find a thing that`s feeling really fresh

Yes, we were children, yesterday or in ages past,
But now we proudly claim that we have grown
And like the sullen outcasts
Our childish dreams are chased away
Exiled beyond the point of no return.

The voices you have heard, but never listened to
Then start to preach, addressing you, and you alone
And if you question their rightness,
The next thing you`re to face shall be
Pure wrath of the offended swarm
Of wasps those simply can`t be wrong


So close your soul, and mute your mind,
And join the endless chain of the blind,
Those wander through those snowstorms
Of everchanging `right` and `wrong`
And don`t ask why,
For it`s all decided
Long ago,
Long ago,
Long...

Still swings the blizzard on and on,
Sweeping our past hopes away,
And the icy armour your heart wears -
It won`t seem to melt.

But something starts to stir inside -
And you don`t know how to react -
When a little child of today asks: "Why do you look so sad?"*

This one would never hear the answer,
Since for this moment all words fail -
The child of yesterday keeps tryin`
To find where she has lost her way...
