Now More Than Ever
[Intro]
(Now more than ever)
(Now more than ever)

[Verse 1]
Between coma and consciousness no hard and fast line
No chance to vote on the motioning eye
A mystical vision or a fall from grace (The chase)
The chase in slow motion through alien space?
I don't know what to make of the dream-time:
It seems as though I'm me
But I'm now more than ever happening inside myself –
I don't know whether I need anything else

[Chorus]
Stored information or secretive clue
So much will fit the design...
One field of life where free will won't cut through:
The dream and the unconscious eye
In real time

[Verse 2]
We surf between waking and the breakers of sleep
The unconscious ocean, still waters run deep
We lay down all logic, all sense of control
Suspend disbelief in the window of souls
I don't know what to make of the dream-time:
It seems as though I'm me
But I'm now more than ever happening only in thought...
I don't know whether any sense is caught
[Chorus]
Stored information or secretive clue
So much will fit the design...
One field of life where free will just won't do:
The dream disappears in the light

[Instrumental Break]
(Now more than ever)

[Verse 3]
In the laboratory they're waking me up:
The dream's on the lips but they smash the cup
A psycho-experiment, and there is no doubt –
The dream's an experience I go crazy without...
I don't know what to make of the dream-time:
It seems as though I'm me
But I'm now more than ever happening inside my head...
Is this a forever with the ego dead?

[Chorus]
Stored information or secretive clue
So much will fit the design...
One field of life where free will just won't do:
The dream and the unconscious eye
In real time
[Outro]
(It's now more than ever)
(It's now more than ever)
(In real time)
(It's now more than ever)
(In real time)
(It's now more than ever) Between coma and consciousness no hard and fast line
(In real time)
(It's now more than ever) Between coma and consciousness no hard and fast line
(In real time)
(It's now more than ever) Between coma and consciousness no hard and fast line
(In real time)
(In real time)
