Dead Can Dance - A Passage In Time Lyrics






These silent chances pass one by
Who never knew of them at all
Resigned to the hands of fate
We await her impending beck and call

Until we return, paradise interred
Spread your golden wings, let the sails unfurl
Until we return, paradise interred
Spread your golden wings, let the fires burn

These silent chances pass one by
Who never knew of them at all
Resigned to the hands of fate
We await her impending beck and call

Until we return, paradise interred
Spread your golden wings, let the sails unfurl
Until we return, paradise interred
Spread your golden wings, let the sails unfurl

Well, opportunity's doors did not open wide
The answers remain locked away inside
Locked away inside
Locked away inside
Locked away inside
Locked away inside

So forced into labour we till the earth
To sow the seeds of our own rebirth
As the days turned into years
Our faith overcame any doubts or fears
Any doubts or fears
Are there any doubts or fears?
any doubts or fears
Are there any doubts or fears?

In truth we had found the key
But its application would unravel this mystery
This mystery
This mystery
This mystery
This mystery

Dead Can Dance A Passage In Time Comments
  1. m.... 6....

    *Skepticism and Gender, a Disinformation Thief*
    On the nymph you call your light who lives in the shadows...I've dealt a lot with gender perspectives. I believe in vast differences in gender and not necessarily counter-parting, so don't try and lure me into a circular maze of body similarities. Sure, there is a lot of secrecy concerning male tools and toys. I would have the lot of them and supersede the surgery of the lower-class of men. Every one of them has been disinformed, somehow. One cannot overthrow the entirety of the vast male-traditions through rejecting them. You must win the arguments, specifically on paper and in writing.
    Personal Note* The Lyre of Apollo Versus the Flute of Pan; Damocles and Tmolus.
    The modern flute belongs to Pan and Napoleon. As my middle-name is Francis I need to embrace its traditions in order to finish what I started in my youth. A scout finishes what he has started, yes? So, to wash off the high dust and return it to its proper warfare and conflict I must unlock its reservoirs complete with limitations. I must lose to the lyre of Apollo and run off with an angle...

  2. m.... 6....

    Deceptively complex; like playing the flute, or making silver rings...

  3. S.... o....

    Reminds me of The Chameleons

  4. C.... 1....

    Lisa and Bredan grew old, their voices, songs and lyrics grew old with them (nervertheless they are all great too). But their outstanding creations of the 80´s will remain forever in my mind until the day I die....

  5. D.... ....

    These silent chances pass one by
    Who never knew of them at all.
    Resigned to the hands of fate
    We await her impending beck and call.

    Until we return, paradise interred.
    Spread your golden wings, et the sails unfurl.
    These silent chances pass one by
    Who never knew of them at all.

    Resigned to the hands of fate
    We await her impending beck and call.
    Until we return, paradise interred.
    Spread your golden wings, let the fires burn.

    Well opportunities doors did not open wide.
    The answers remain locked away inside.
    So forced into labour we till the earth
    To sow the seeds of our own rebirth.

    As the days turned into years
    Our faith overcame any doubts or fears.
    Are there any doubts or fears?
    In truth we had found the key.

    It's application would unravel this mystery.
