lyrics

The first thing he encountered was a land of rock and ice
It first looked uninhabited, he had to look twice
The people all wore thick coats, to defy the windy whirls
Down came the grey-cloaked passenger, out from another world

There were only tiny little pieces of the land
Where the people could easily settle on the ice-covered sand
And they each prayed to their gods, the long forgotten few
That they would favor them at the expense of the new

The next thing that he saw was a wasteland of red sand
The people there were hungry, they had beliefs to defend
They rode up on their chariots while pointing with their spears
Their eyes showed a mixture of hatred, pain and fear

There was just enough of food to go around
But greed and selfishness were quite more abound
And the veil of ancient ways caused obstructed little views
To celebrate the old at the expense of the new

The passenger rides on…

The next thing he encountered was a land of stone and dust
The people there had problems with affection, love and trust
The sting of something taken caused infections way too deep
And their posture made it clear for all wandering eyes to see

There was beauty in the wasteland, scattered all around
But all the eyes were busy with the powder on the ground
They did not believe in a third or second chance
And didn’t give the passenger a fleeting look or glance

The passenger rides on…

The last thing that he saw was a city made of light
The people were abundant and pressed together tight
And everyone was fighting for their version of the truth
But he knew all these trees they grew from the very same roots

The silent grey-cloaked horseman moved across the great divide
From hemisphere to hemisphere, into the dead of night
And everywhere he went and everywhere he came
He saw the very same things under a variety of names
The very same things under a variety of names
