The complete album is a fully underrated masterpiece. All albums with Bruce and Roy Z are masterpieces. I recommend to grab also Special Versions of all albums because there are hidden gems like B-Sides and different Versions of some songs.
Lyrics - Distant earthrise long ago lingers at the borders of our minds mysteries spinning in the dark in the frozen emptiness of time we were lost and we never knew who we were or what we left behind living half-lives we were blind to the new frontiers that opened up our eyes to find our minds were spinning souls entwined in a spiral dance the ancient ways have found us again to give us one last chaaaaaaance living in this place staring into space we find we might share the corners of our lives infinity runs deep eternity that we can keep melting through the frozen wastes of time so we go and we'll not return to navigate the seas of the sun our children will go on and on to navigate the seas of the sun so we go and we'll not return we'll navigate the seas of the sun our children will go on and on to navigate the seas of the sun we can go on tomorrow living death by gravity couldn't stand it anymore we'll sail our ships to distant shores purple gold and blue living colors every hue flowers in the garden of the gods no one can ever know if you never saw them grow but this darkness is really full of light [solos] now beyond the earth beyond all things that gave us birth we'll navigate... if god is throwing dice and einstein doesn't mind the chance we'll navigate... infinity runs deep eternity that we can keep we'll navigate... flowers of our souls purple blue and gold we'll find to navigate... so we know who we are even in this frozen waste we'll navigate... living in this place staring into space we'll find we'll navigate... well beyond the earth beyond all things that gave us birth we'll... if einstein's throwing dice and god he doesn't mind the chance we'll navigate... flowers of the soul purple blue and gold and who we were before eternity... we'll navigate... flowers of the soul
Bruce played this live last night in Wolverhampton UK. My husband sang this to me at our Handfasting 10 years ago which began my love affair with Bruce's solo work. It felt like he was singing it for us!
I really love this song and its amazing lyrics... It feels like dreaming the whole universe in almost 6 minutes... ♫Purple gold and blue, living colors every hue...♫

Listening to this song is like getting on a trip to the space beyond.
Currently listening to it on a road trip, and I can gladly confirm we are now sailing through a seemingly endless expanse on course for a new world

Thanks,bro!Didn't know that!
Finally someone show has the same thought
One of the most beautiful songs ever!!
Not only a great example of the softer side of metal, but also one of the deepest songs of the era
Couldn't agree more!!!
Talent, simple ,interview about himself was amazing 🤟
Lyrics -
Distant earthrise long ago
lingers at the borders of our minds
mysteries spinning in the dark
in the frozen emptiness of time
we were lost and we never knew
who we were or what we left behind
living half-lives we were blind
to the new frontiers that opened up our eyes
to find our minds were spinning
souls entwined in a spiral dance
the ancient ways have found us
again to give us one last chaaaaaaance
living in this place
staring into space we find
we might share the corners of our lives
infinity runs deep
eternity that we can keep
melting through the frozen wastes of time
so we go and we'll not return
to navigate the seas of the sun
our children will go on and on
to navigate the seas of the sun
so we go and we'll not return
we'll navigate the seas of the sun
our children will go on and on
to navigate the seas of the sun
we can go on tomorrow
living death by gravity
couldn't stand it anymore
we'll sail our ships to distant shores
purple gold and blue
living colors every hue
flowers in the garden of the gods
no one can ever know
if you never saw them grow
but this darkness is really full of light
[solos]
now beyond the earth
beyond all things that gave us birth
we'll navigate...
if god is throwing dice
and einstein doesn't mind the chance
we'll navigate...
infinity runs deep
eternity that we can keep
we'll navigate...
flowers of our souls
purple blue and gold we'll find
to navigate...
so we know who we are
even in this frozen waste
we'll navigate...
living in this place
staring into space we'll find
we'll navigate...
well beyond the earth
beyond all things that gave us birth
we'll...
if einstein's throwing dice
and god he doesn't mind the chance
we'll navigate...
flowers of the soul
purple blue and gold
and who we were before
eternity...
we'll navigate...
flowers of the soul

Beautiful song🎉
Bruce is the David Bowie of heavy metal. So versatile.
Bruce is even better than his
Feels like a reflexive moment about life and death. How life ends and we will be free to navigate this endless universe.
easily Bruce's most heartfelt song, even more than Arc of Space.
The best song from his solo career, in my opinion.
"This darkness is really full of light," light is invisible. At night, light is still streaming through space.
Just a mindbending song.
I really love this song and its amazing lyrics... It feels like dreaming the whole universe in almost 6 minutes...
♫Purple gold and blue, living colors every hue...♫
Saw Bruce last wednesday in Groningen NL, it was so very good, as I expected. This song sounded great, a masterpiece
Just saw this song performed live for the first time ever (per Bruce) in Santa Ana, CA on April 15th 2024. It was terrific!
For me, the song describes how we are small (life on Earth) in the space-time continuum. :)
@@hencca We are the dust on the blue ball which floating in the universe 🙂
@ Is that a Carl Sagan quote??
For me too, and I find it very comforting...
This darkness is really full of light…
Loved hearing this live in La for his first show in 20 plus years. What a treat, fantastic ballad.
Masterpiece performance at the Observatory well done Bruce forever Metal King

This song popped up in my head today for some reason.... maybe it's because the sun finally came out... 🙂
I heard that song at the radio today and first I thought it was an Incubus song... but I really love it.
И....малко лирика за...душата.

Fantastic track as many of Bruce’s are… so many.. both solo and maiden..
Canção maravilhosa, tão linda quanto ship with sails!!!!
Thanks for the presentation at CTBA, it was epic!!!
it is such an incredible song, definitely one of the best in Bruce's solo career. His voice and the lyrics take you on a journey through the cosmos.
Одна из моих любимых песен Брюса,наряду с jerusalem
Stark.
Лучшая, вещь от Брюса.
