Far across the water, far across the sea, magician among the spirits, the next delivery   And the scene is set up, the boy who lost his mind, a sudden smell of ether as machines unwind    Universe of distant stars chilling in its failings   With planets spinning deep in space parading all its flavours   We sit and stare into the night and contemplate forever   Slip away into your dreams, conclude that we may never       Out and past the harbour where the sharks dream (stream ?) in the waves   Magician among the spirits is drowning in a cave   As Solomon's my witness, as Gabriel is my guard (god ?)   Garden of the lovely ones in the devil's back yard (?)       Hand of God sprinkle jewels inside the velvet ceiling   Filling up our unsure hearts with wonder, awe and feeling   All the eyes are staring down and glitter like small children   Their secrets kept, lost in thought, looking at what fueled them       Singing 'bout the old times, sepia and faded   Magician among the spirits the past has been invaded   Robert Houdini in the distance, we look up through the water   See the comet's silver trail, see the planets falter         Vast science, eternal night shrouded in dark mazes   Runes and tunes preconceived flowing through their phases   Your air or cover (??) wind is dead, consequences endless   Speed of light and empty time your borders to defenders (?)       (Marty's evil chuckle)       Walking in the wilderness with my pale sister   Magician among the spirits I said how much I miss her   Jackson on the slipstream, he's moving all around   Chasing tiny orphans, following the sounds, following the sounds       Fragile and delirious, cannot understand it    Magician among the spirits, Electra and Miranda   Passed you in a corridor you were drinking Grenadine   Drinking liquid happiness your tears could not be seen, tears could not be seen       Violent sun propels its rays to seek out beings breathing   Ancient craft that waltz the maze of metal shells beneath me   And dust that swirls, of reddened clouds, floats above the surface   Deserted landscape slips away, forgotten secret purpose         Thin film of moisture, condensing on the screen   Magician among the spirits are you with us, Christine ? Do you really remember the boy I used to be ?   With you every single night in February       All this ectoplasm believe in ghosts (?)   Magician among the spirits, Lord of hosts   Here we are tonight we're speaking to the light (?)   Magician among the spirits, make it alright (repeat.)         (Translated from Swedish by Thomas Norin)   "Magician!, magician!, my star!   From where on earth do you look out, into outer space!   I am in a forest heather!   You shall not find me again!   Farewell my daughters, I'll see you soon!"
