Chimaera Songtext
von Big Big Train

Let us speak of turning the page
Starting over, beginning again
Let me show how I found a new way
With each cut made, I′ll follow the grain

Are we just a flare on a lens?
A trick of light in the end
A skimming stone on the water
The sharpest blade has made things sweet again


Hear the war and the weft of its tale
Are like milestones along the way
Each path chosen, each step that I take
Leads me deeper in this golden place

Are we just a flare on a lens?
A trick of light in the end
A glimmer of flame at the field's edge
The sharpest blade has made things real again

Then inside this empty land
Traces bring me back to earth
Whose footsteps made the paths I follow?
Who has tamed the places I have found?


What had seemed a great adventure
Now feels like a dream that′s ended
What is real remains uncertain
Where is home? Where am I meant to be?
