Black Orchid

[Blackwell:] I never wanted guidance To tell me where to find A light in the darkness Cause the dark I'd push aside No time for dreaming of a distant Paradise No time for tales of good and evil [Reason:] Another correlation: as above so below Another analysing where illusions fail to show The face of the maker who'd leave you alone Without a sense of comprehension [Blackwell:] When that meadow - in front of my eyes - will have dried away Will my senses wither like flowers on my grave Will this wave of becoming flow into the void of time The final hour: When Never and Now become one Will I find the orchid The final hour: Door to the garth of eternity? Or withered orchid meadows? [Reason:] Everybody's praying But what if God is just a threat And everybody's straying? If only they would just forget Everybody's craving For a ghost light in the haze: You'll lose your minds one after another [Blackwell:] Everybody's craving For what doesn't have a name or a face So reason could fit it in the frame In quest of the orchid: A glimmer in the daze Till I awake to the sound of rigour [Reason:] What if that meadow in your mind is just a fantasy? And if it wanted to be seen why must you believe? [Blackwell:] Will this wave of becoming flow into the void of time [Reason:] The final hour When Never and Now become one [Blackwell:] Will I find the orchid [Reason:] The final hour Door to the garth of eternity [Blackwell:] Or withered orchid meadows Black orchid Strange and beautiful Oh black orchid I must find you [Reason:] I remember that morning He had to be told What he couldn't remember After he'd spoken to the wall [Blackwell:] And I gave to repression What I must not have seen What even believers Must unlearn to unbelieve [lead guitar: Bruce Kilick] The final hour When Never and Now become one Will I find the orchid The final hour Door to the garth of eternity [Reason:] Or withered orchids The final hour When Never and Now become one [Blackwell:] Will I find the orchid [Reason:] The final hour Door to the garth of eternity [Blackwell:] Or withered black orchid meadows
