英文摇滚歌曲：4th Dimension - A New Dimension

(Me) What is the meaning, the secret behind signs I?ve read all my life
Fire, earth, air and water, they talk to the wise...
(Conscience) All of these years, void and sadness were friends to your misery¹ and pain
Lonely days of delusion² and cruel make-believe sowed a shade deep inside
(Me) Times are ripe to learn all of the answers and seize the day at last

(Conscience) The quest for life heavily weighed on your shoulders,
(Me) Guilt³ of the ages encumbered⁴ my soul
(Conscience) Hard years of fighting eluded⁵ your searching
(Me) Striving for peace I found war on her wake...

Deny this age of broken dreams, feel the surge of power heal you from within
Be yourself a receptacle of light
Embrace your gift, the long lost tunes⁶ shall flow forth⁷,
Your voice will rise into the wind
Bathe into the silver gleaming light of the new day

(Me) Visions of heavenly beauty await far beyond human reach
(Conscience) Marble temples and ivory towers raised to defy the higher skies
(Me) Crystal bells toll⁸ proclaiming salvation⁹, a spring that never ends...

(Me) Your quest for life?s bound to reach for the heavens
(Conscience) Dark mortal ages will not drain my soul
(Me) Though years of fighting eluded your searching
(Conscience) The path has been laid, a new dimension awaits...

Into the age of golden dreams, feel the surge of power heal you from within
Be yourself a receptacle of light
Embrace your gift, the long lost tunes shall flow forth,
Your voice will rise into the wind
Bathe into the silver gleaming light of the new day
