Sea” is one of two songs based on sketches from dreams that I put on Mobius Trip and Hadron Kaleido - the other, aptly enough, is “Dawn of Man”. @@ -35,9 +68,24 @@ Commentary:

door into your heart is locked<br>Its key is buried in your mind<br>Too heavy to carry but too huge to leave behind<br>Without it you will surely die<br>But even that's just another lie<br>Sailing on the pumpkin tide ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: The Deeper You Go References: Sburban Jungle |
