Apercu lyrics

The mist of time is still concealing

The vision that I seek

Those who died have all borne witness

If only they would speak

Yet I saw it all inside me, for a moment

Were you with me?

Have we done it all before, is there really so much more?

Now and then we've all been given

A glimpse of bygone days

I'd give all to see it clearly

Not shrouded in the haze

Yet I saw it all inside me, for a moment

Were you with me?

Have we done it all before, is there really so much more?

Each man has a memory

Much more than the eye can see

Yet still others linger deep inside you

Haunting thoughts of pain and joy divide you

Look beyond your eyes

At the dark and moody skies

For they're standing in your way

And I feel the light of day

Now the earth gives forth its secrets

Held in mountain sea and plain

They have never been forgotten

Only locked inside my brain

While I slept I had a vision, I remember

You were with me

We have done it all before, in our minds behind the door
