lyrics

Close your eyes, rest your head, and listen to the wind
Whisper you a lullaby. The day is at its end.
Let your mind go wandering through strange, enchanted lands.
Can you hear the music of the twilight minstrel's band?

And in this weird, enchanted place you pick the golden pear.
You meet and old man writing words with pictures in the air.
He makes a door through which you pass to a castle built of cloud,
Wherein there lives a magus king to whom the mountains bow

And then the turning of the great and strange machine:
The whirling wheels, the spinning dials of ironclads unseen.
Is this the shape of things to come, or things that have once been?
Or is it just the stuff of fantasies and dreams...?

But the castle walls are crumbling - the Earth becomes the sky.
An unseen hand is holding you: you're learning how to fly!
Rushing through the liquid air you're swimming in a sea
Of voices calling you to climb the sacred tree.

Again the turning of the greatly strange machine....

Here they come! Those horrid Wendigoes!
Fly-by-nights that drift across the snows.
Dark and bare, the witchwood spreads it's poison claws,
While close behind, a daemon on all fours...!!!!

And just in time, the turning of the great and strange machine....

You walk the dusty mountain path to the land of the twilight band,
But the trees are frowning on you, 'cause your shoes are full of sand.
But as you stand, the unseen hand is leading you astray.
And then from somewhere in the darkness there bursts the light of day.

But still you hear the turning of the great and strange machine.
Yet was it not the stuff of fantasies and dreams...?
