The End of the Return

Return to the centre of the earth,
A world within a world,
An endless journey in time.
Return to an origin of life,
Of secrets left untold,
A mountain there to climb.
Return to the centre of the earth,
Heaven waiting for life to appear
In a perfect creation of time,
A message for no-one to hear.
Time,
Time within a world,
Centre,
Centre of the earth,
Searching for secrets of time,
A sign.
Return to the origin of time,
To the hidden cry of man,
To a sanctuary of life beneath the earth,
A meeting place,
A point of no return to the centre of the earth.
The return to the centre of the earth,
To a meeting place of time in a
hidden inner world.
Return to the centre of the earth,
To a wonderland of dreams,
Everlasting in the understanding of our belonging,
And to the race that can never be won.
Evermore the meaning of a future presence,
With the oracle leading to the centre of the earth,
The earth,
Return,
Return to the centre of the earth,
To a wonderland of dreams,
There’s a world within a world,
Find the place of no return,
To the centre of the earth.
