Klaustrophony - Klaus Schulze

Last night I lay sleeping

upon the crystal darkened night

And in my dreams I was awoken

I wasnt' once lacking my sight

.. .the eve is over now

a few drops dropping in sunlight

like a shimmering diamond

t’was a burning crystal to a darkened night

I wasn’t looking

by words spoken

beware this sunlight

they said

ask me but one question

coming from a long bearded man

dressed in white.

Now my thinking

hence in thought

I look deep inside of my life

and in gravity

of motion

these were the words I took upon

I truly, I truly speak fond

I said tell me who or why is this man

what is this thing that they call love

and he who was gone

as fast as he had come

to the place in which he gave all

I woke a second time in my dreams

t’was the answer to the small question

walking yon on mountain slopes

He and I, the bearded man

stopping short, I realized to where he’s taken me

to any (??) pool of well- lit water

on the bottom was water ebbed

and the spring of life

was no longer

pushing rushing burned with life

now endlessly upon this power

do they stand

and why bearded man laughed and

laughed and laughed

and the laughter turned to thunder

comes the rain down

sunlight sparkle in the web

spoke of words and of thirst

the water is clear

as a bell

of wise man

he think it wise

said to my question

this was the only answers that are clear

and bearded man

comes the one gong

minute gone

travel on through the door in my dreams

and the ball and chain

never ever it remained

for being in white man

short life in the dark

to where he’s keeping bad dreams

to be liken to the sunlight

he took them with scorn

the stars followed starlit nights

one round circle

to be divided by the hand of man

we are created while once perfected

Drink it all

plain simple

you will n’er

you will n’er

fall in chains
