Текст песни: The Dream and the Wings + перевод

I remember myself lying

At a high forest glade

There was beautiful silence

A dying tree gave me shade

Then I thought I dreamt I would be flying

I passed the woods and lakes and fields

With butterflies and birds and honey bees

Reaching stone and steel that displaced the trees

I rembember myself flying

Over tainted, industrial lands

The smokestacks of Mining Town

Memorials, out of mankind’s hands

Then I thought I dreamt I would be crying

Those machines held sway over mankind

I figured out the estrangement of a stranger

Who lost control and couldn’t dodge danger

Then I thought I dreamt I would be trying

To speak with gestures and countenance

I met typing fingers, idle glance on mobile phones

And lapsed into silence, yes, I left these human zones

And I thought these wings

Would raise me from those machines

That pulled their strings

For I saw these men’s hurried feet

In strict time to their society’s speed
