about

From our second CD Alexandria: Mark wrote this wonderful song as a tribute to Dostoyevsky, Max Frisch and Shiga Naoya.

lyrics

And Dostoyevsky is waiting, humming
Beside the meadow green,
He's been there a million years
Telling tales to wandering ghosts -

And how in this world of Fate
Hope feeds our homes?
The Paper Door it swings away, and
I have fallen into Moontalk...

And Dostoyevsky is waiting for you
Beside the meadow green,
He's been waiting there a million years!
Waiting with his crew -
And now on the heron ground
The flying Paper Door!
The Fool leaps into the mire
It's a wilderness of mirrors in Time ...

And how in this world of Fate
Hope feeds our homes?
The Paper Door it swings away, and
I have fallen into Moontalk ...
Seems like whirling and the ordinary life is gone!
It's gone and you Step into the Other World of feeling,
The Paper Door it swings away, and
I have fallen into Moontalk.
The Fool leaps into the mire
The ordinary life is gone
The Fool leaps into the mire
It's a Wilderness of Mirrors in Time
The Paper Door it swings away,
Wings away, onward and far
Wings away and away ...
