	Combines Rush and Pink Floyd influences with my own ideas. Moves from vocals with guitar arpeggios to overdriven guitar rock, and onward.

	Story Behind the Song A song about the passage of time, over millenia or longer. I came up with the lyrical idea after reading Ursula K. Le Guin's "Worlds of Exile and Illusion" in the summer of 1999. The book's three novel sized stories are separated by thousands of years. I wrote the main chord progression and chorus riff in the summer of 1998 while I was playing with a band called "Under Oath". It had different lyrics and arrangements then, to suit the needs of the band. I quit that band in early 1999, and some months later decided to finish the song using my own lyrics and arrangements. So here it is, my way! Lyrics This isn't the end The pattern repeats and the past is forgotten A brand new life Made on the fragments of their world All they desired All they believed Ten thousand years There's just a fragment of a song Forgotten place In crumbling stones once full of life All they desired All they believed And so it begins Shaping our dreams, your hands in mine We have some time Before the ages pass us by All we desire All we believe
