Taro Rota Suite Songtext

von Atomic Rooster

I don't really know what I'm doing,
I don't really care what you say.
Following the signs of illusion,
Dancing in the sun on my way.

See a light burn in the darkness,
Quicksilver sky, clouds of fire.
Hear a door close in the silence,
Echoes of dreams and desire.
Mountains of stone turn to ashes,
Ribbons of gold turn to clay,
River of life overflowing
Trapped in the dreams of today.

I don't really know what I'm doing,
I don't really care what you say.
Following the signs of illusion,
Dancing in the sun on my way.

I don't know what's wrong,
With reality.
I don't know what's wrong,
Is it only me?

Time to get over this feeling again.
Life is stealing away.
I keep on feeling life stealing away,
Stealing away while I dream of today.
Time to break out of it,
Must get away.
Get away!

See a light burn in the darkness,
Quicksilver sky, clouds of fire.
Hear a door close in the silence,
Echoes of dreams and desire.
Mountains of stone turn to ashes,
Ribbons of gold turn to clay,
River of life overflowing
Trapped in the dreams of today.

I don't really know what I'm doing,
I don't really care what you say.
Following the signs of illusion,
Dancing in the sun on my way.

Magician or fool!

Taro Rota, Arot Taro,
Taro Rota, Arot Taro,
Taro Rota, Arot Taro,
Taro Rota, Arot Taro,
Taro Rota, Arot Taro,
Taro Rota, Arot Taro.

I'm walking in a dream,
Places where I've been fade away,
Floating from rhyme or reason,
Future will unfold flowers of gold.

I see the world below, I know that it is turning,
But circles of the wheel turn slowly,
And nothing is explained just light forever burning
And time is going by, so slowly.

Fly in the sky on wings that are so weary,
'Til the eagle's nest comes in sight.
Time in a word and that word simply nothing,
Watch the water flow, silent snow.

I see the world below, I know that it is turning,
But circles of the wheel turn slowly,
And nothing is explained just light forever burning
And time is going by, so slowly.

Time for the reason, I feel free.
I'm just the last one to find I'm me.
Veils of illusion set me free.
My eyes are open and I can see.
Time for the reason, I feel free.
I'm just the last one to find I'm me.
Veils of illusion set me free.
My eyes are open and I can see.

Stealing over me,
Sleeping endlessly,
River flow to the sea,
Time is free.

Stealing over me,
Sleeping endlessly,
River flow to the sea,
Let me dream.

Let me dream....

Hell train,
See the demons dance.
Hell train,
See the demons dance.

Hell train,
See the demons dance.
Hell train,
See the demons dance.

In your mind,
Mirrors of your mind.
In your mind,
Mirrors of your mind.

Taro Rota, Arot Taro,
Taro, Rota, Arot Taro........

You have summoned me,
But I am not in your control.
I will eat your mind
And then destroy your very soul
Though you stand within
The circle I won't stay my hand,
For the very stones
You stand on are at my command.

'Cos you're mine!
Yes, you're mine!

You have summoned up
A power that is beyond your will.
You have brought to life
A force that death itself can't kill.
See your useless symbols
Turn to dust before your eyes,
Feel my power engulf you,
Laughter drown your helpless cries.

'Cos you're mine!
Yes, you're mine!

You are a ma-chine,
You are a ma-chine,
You are a ma-chine...........

You're dreaming,
Is this real?
Illusion,
Confuse your mind.
Hold fast now,
Thoughts shifting patterns.
Hold fast now
And then let go.

Stare into the sun,
Become one incandescent ray of your creation.
Watch the water flow
And sink below a single drop in one vast ocean.
Fly into the air,
Ensnare your mind upon a pin of concentration,
Deep inside the earth,
Rebirth, the rotten coffin breaks the maggots welcome.

You're dreaming,
Is this real?
Illusion,
Confuse your mind.
Hold fast now,
Thoughts' shifting patterns.

Hold fast now,
And then let go..............

Time is going through the motion,
Drowning tears in one vast ocean,
Rivers flee from valley fire,
Can the mountains climb no higher?

Frozen in a sea of sorrow,
Dream away forget tomorrow,
Words will always be unspoken,
Promises will soon be broken.

Driving down the endless highway,
Time is starting to go my way.
Find the people who will know why,
Love will lose and time will go by.
Circling in an endless season,
Stop and ask yourself the reason.

Time marches on!

Life's illusions melting away,
Now is the time for change,
Changing,
Everything remains the same,
You will find,
Though the stars lose their brightness
One by one.

Come!

Fly, Fly away!!!
