Hyperborea

Lyrics for Hyperborea

This was a vision, fresh and clear as a mountain stream. The mind revealing itself to itself. In my vision I was on the veranda of a vast estate, a palazzo of some fantastic proportion. There seemed to emanate from it a light from within this gleaming radiant marble. I'd known this place, I'd in fact been born and raised there. This was my first return, a reunion with the deepest wellsprings of my being. (Wandering about, I noticed happily that the house had been immaculately maintained.) (There'd been added a number of additional rooms but in a way that blended so seamlessly with the original construction one would never detect the difference.) (Returning to the house's grand foyer there came a knock at the door.) (My son was standing there.) He was happy and carefree... clearly living a life of deep harmony and joy. (We embraced, a warm and loving embrace nothing withheld.) (We were in this moment, one.) My vision ended. And I awoke with a tremendous feeling of optimism and confidence (In you and your future. That was my vision of you.) (Part of it is repeated later in the song.)
