Chronophilia

about

This song was primarily a reaction to a song by Greg Graffin called “Chronophobia” (the underlying topic I have myself written songs about). Time is not only our enemy, it is also important to be aware of. In the form of history, time is even our friend. We cannot move towards the future without recognizing and learning from our past. A greater temporal perspective of everything is a most valuable and essential part of a worthy human life.

lyrics

Listen in on the whisper of the Pharaoh.
Feel the walls of the chamber, uncover their mystery.
Roam the ruins, pay reverence to the ancients.
Become witness to the greatest of all human legacy.

Waking up to a blink in the spotlight,
ever racing through eons of void night,
just to lie down and sleep in the dragnet of history.

There is more to this short moment on the stage.
Read the book to make sense of the last page.
Only minds that are open to the past
will ever fully grasp their own existence.
