On The Other Side

If i open up my mind

and receive the other side

where the day reflects the night

in frenetic timeless time

and knowledge is a well

there in heaven there in hell

where every thought and fantasy

is reality

on the other side in the immutable

eternity

on the other side in the impalpable

eternally

there i face my soul

angelical – unbound

(a) shadow of the free

forever meant to be

and the presence that i feel

from my kindred soul

strengths my life – my energy

through eternity

on the other side in the immutable

eternity

on the other side in the impalpable

eternally

there i've found the power

the secret source

the grand materia

the shadowstone – my soul

(there i drink the knowledge)

(there i find the truth)

but it can be hard to stand

the menacing and sad

that is beyond my grasp

like heartbeats in the vast

that entity that's haunting me

searching for my soul

it's everywhere – unreachable

not tangible

on the other side in the immutable

eternity

on the other side in the impalpable

eternally
