Prologue Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse]
Just on the border of your waking mind
There lies another time
Where darkness and light are one
And as you tread the halls of sanity
You feel so glad to be
Unable to go beyond
I have a message from another time
[Instrumental Outro/Segue]
[Verse]
Just on the border of your waking mind
There lies another time
Where darkness and light are one
And as you tread the halls of sanity
You feel so glad to be
Unable to go beyond
I have a message from another time
[Instrumental Outro/Segue]
About
Genius Annotation
With its deeply synthesized voice through a vocoder, and science fiction synths, as well as a wobbly sample of a rocket, “Prologue” is the fantasist opener to the fantasized album “Time”.
The main character of this concept album sends a message to the real year, 1981, from the year in which he is trapped, 2095.
