Lyrics of

Roll back the meaning

	
The word is not enough
To judge the souls we save
It tries too hard 
To make the mind behave

Roll back the meaning
Feel out what's seeming
To begin now
You'll find that when you
Roll back the secret of
What's behind and what's above
It's all that I've been thinking of

Our special losing streak
It can't survive for long
The time is right
But something else is wrong

Roll back the meaning
Drink to our dreaming
In the end then

Ah, you gotta walk back a sacred mile
Where we contact a backwards style
A wilderness we can't defile

The time is right
But something else is wrong

Roll back the meaning
Drink to our dreaming
In the end then
Ah, you gotta walk back a sacred mile
Where we contact a backwards style
A wilderness we can't defile
