Once upon a time in the cradle of the night We heard the ancient whispers of the everlasting light Kings and golden castles, the dragon and the sword Shadows of a reality we could not yet record The fairy tale was given to the childhood of the mind A gentle reassurance for the spiritually blind A promise of the morning wrapped in fantasy and rhyme A map of cosmic journeys drawn in the sands of time But where is the horizon that we used to clearly see? Lost behind the heavy veil of what we came to be We wandered deep into the clay, into the world of weight Forgetting that eternity was waiting at the gate Oh, the lost horizon, fading in the gleam Till the science of the spirit wakes us from the dream We measured out the oceans, we weighed the heavy stone We built our iron towers and we claimed the world alone The magic of the story was traded in for steel We asked for only proof of what the mortal hands could feel The cosmic sight was blinded by the intellect's cold pride The fairies and the angels were banished to the side We walked into the darkness of the material deep While the memory of our home was locked inside our sleep But where is the horizon that we used to clearly see? Lost behind the heavy veil of what we came to be We wandered deep into the clay, into the world of weight Forgetting that eternity was waiting at the gate Oh, the lost horizon, fading in the gleam Till the science of the spirit wakes us from the dream Look beyond the intellect, the shadow starts to break The hero of the fairy tale is starting to awake It wasn't just a fantasy, it wasn't just a play The transformation of the dark into the radiant day! The beast becomes the prince of light, the sorrow turns to gold The greatest cosmic truth that the universe ever told We are finding the horizon that we used to clearly see! Rising from the heavy veil of what we came to be We are lifting from the clay, from the world of weight Knowing that eternity is open at the gate Oh, the true horizon, shining in the gleam As the science of the spirit wakes us from the dream! The fairy tale is real... The horizon is in sight... The morning is returning... Into the eternal light.
