Looking Back to Tomorrow Lyrics


White and black

Blind spots in consciousness

They only see

What they are told to believe

Mountains crack

Within one's mind

Knowing what comes

As time passes by

Looking back to tomorrow

Looking back to tomorrow

Digging their own graves

By giving birth to life

Escaping the shadows

By living in the deepest night

It's not the same

Though nothing has changed

Living a decline

In a specious progress

An act of fate alters

The outlook on life

The borders of our perception

Are bursting

as we accept ourselves

as we truly are

“Life itself is only a vision

A dream...

Nothing exists save empty space”

The angel said and continued

”And you...

And you are but a thought”

Yet I feel you

Solo: Jori Alhonen

Take a look

Once again

But this time

Don't let your hopes

Dazzle your sight

Read the signs

Between the lines

Will regained

When washed over

By a wave of anger

Looking back to tomorrow

A foresight no one wanted to see

Staring at your drift of sorrow

Not weeping their loss

Yet drowning in misery

And our world burns

Looking back tomorrow

Looking back tomorrow

Digging their own graves

By giving birth to life

Escaping the shadows

By living in the deepest night

It's not the same

Though nothing has changed

Living a decline

In a specious progress

Gaze from above

The ways of old, the stories untold

Still shaking from the blow

As the foresigns came to be

Weigh down

The burden of knowledge

What you got is all it takes
