Lyrics

Mental maelstrom beckons me
To fall into the core
The centre of the universe
Mocks me forevermore

Who awoke the engine when I could not its key?
Who landed me upon this place
This island in the sea?

(There's) four or five thousand clouds
All inside my head
I'm looking for the mind I had
How long has it been dead?

Eighteen thousand million years
With aeons in between
Cannot save me from my fears
Of things I might have seen

What did you see?
Who did you see?

Don't want to go back to that place
Don't want to go back to my soul
My spirit in a vacuum. spirit in a vacuum
My spirit in a vacuum

Mental maelstrom, that is you
You've killed my inner sun
The sacrifices that I made
I want them all undone

You put the engine back to sleep
When I thougth I'd found the key
Now that I am stranded here
You return to misery

How can I kill the alien mind
That tries to be me'
I've seen the vacuums eye
And now I see the thing that I be

Don't want to go back to that place
Don't want to go back to my soul

Spirit in a vacuum
My spirit in a vacuum
