Eloy is a German progressive rock band, whose musical style includes symphonic and space rock, the latter theme being more prevalent on earlier albums. Despite their nationality and time period, the band is not generally considered krautrock because of their sound, which has much more in common with English progressive rock groups such as Pink Floyd, King Crimson and Yes.

1.Introduction (instrumental)
2.Journey into 1358
In this lonely room
Where my father plays with science
On some hair-brained scheme
He lives in a dream
But he can't do much for me now
I've spent all my life
Eating knowledge at school
Driven hard to pass
Exams like a fool
And now they're all behind me
Success has come to remind me
Where do I go from here?
Hey, what's this, I'm disappearing
Seeing strange things, hey, what's happening?
I don't understand what it's meant to be
Is it something in my drink or is it me?
What are all these things around me
I'm coming down, I'm coming down
Surrealistic sights surround me
I'm coming down, I'm coming down
And who's that smart chick over there?
But they're old-fashioned clothes to wear
3.Love Over Six Centuries
I'll tell you who I am and whence I came
It's not going to be easy to explain
My body has returned, my mind is all at sea
Will you tell me who you are
And where we're meant to be?
She answers in a gentle lilting style
Says little but speaks volumes with a smile
With a sparkle in her eye, she takes me by the hand
"Come with me, I'll answer all I can"
Dialogue:
Jamie: April, 1358...Paris...I don't understand any more
My name is Jamie...and mine is a strange story
One which even I don't fully understand...my father is a scientist
And he's been experimenting with time-eroding drugs
Well, I was sitting in his work-room
It was late at night
And I was thinking...you know, about me and my future
'Cause I've just left school...and I don't know what I want to do
I must have somehow taken the drug... and landed up here
Jeanne: My name is Jeanne....let me tell you my story
My father owns many acres around here
Which are farmed by peasants...whom he rules with an iron hand
The neighbouring landlord's even worse
And I'm supposed to marry his son
That's not my choice... you know the saying: "Like father, like son"
Jamie: Well, I see we've both got our problems... perhaps we can help each other
I've got something here....lots of my friends smoke it
I don't suppose you know it
Try it, it helps at times like these
Jeanne: Oh, what a beautiful feeling
Everything's shimmering in the twilight
Look at that sunset...I've never seen such colours before
It all seems suspended in eternity...I wish moments like these would last forever
I'm not worried anymore
What are you thinking?
Jamie: I can't think at the moment...let's just enjoy it
Somehow we must stay together
Lifelong friend, my lifelong friend
Love like ours will last forever
Never end, and never end
We'll somehow wipe away our fears
And find a way to bridge the years
