The thoughts running through my head
When I listen to this I can imagine a small boy or girl finding an ancient book in an empty grassland and when he/she opens it takes them back through time, and as they stand still the world rushes around them in reverse, seeing great battles, civilisations rising and falling, people living their lives, oceans rising and falling, zooming through all the seasons from spring to winter in a blink of an eye. Then suddenly the book closes and drops the boy/girl in an ancient time forgotten by modern people. A time of great spires, immense cities of stone and wood, a time of peace and prosperity among all beings, then at the end with the cymbal crash they drop the book, and are sucked back to their time, and then they look up and have a grin on their face.
(Sorry got carried away)
Amazing song though
