The Flower Kings - Cosmic Circus

This is not an official but fan-made music video of a beautiful progressive rock song by The Flower Kings, from their album Adam & Eve (InsideOut Music 2004, please buy an album). Words & Music by Roine Stolt. I am a great fan of The Flower Kings, and this is my personal birthday gift to Roine Stolt on September 5. Live long and prosper! (^_^)

Lyrics:

COSMIC CIRCUS

From the ragged fence
to the cosmic bends
we have paved our way with eagerness
and forced the world to make some sense

In this endless space,
looking for Gods given grace
Among countless scattered dying stars
by the fireplaces we found some comfort

Waiting all to serve a greater purpose
or to join the cosmic circus now

From the garden greens
to the mountain streams
We all worked the land and payed in sweat
while sweet illusions were passing by

Like a fading tribe
on the ocean wide
In a random flash we live and die
Searching all religions, reasons why

Waiting all to serve a greater purpose
or to join the cosmic circus now

From the habbit hole to the frozen poles
we have filled our hearts with poetry
while science was our leading star

On to million suns
where our fading memories dance
While we try so hard to understand
the untold genesis of man

Waiting all to serve a greater purpose
or to join the cosmic circus now

I don' think I left my comment on this early work of your channel. Images are excellent. May I ask where you got it? Of course, the song is also nice!

@asnar0365 Konichiwa, Paul-san.

Many thanks for your nice comment, my friend. Glad to see you liked my old video. :) I found these images from here and there from the web, besides I used a video clips from TV documentary "The Universe: The Moon" (The History Channel, 2007). This band, The Flower Kings, comes from Sweden (our neighbor) and is one of my greatest favorite band.

I'm not too familiar with these guys (I only own one of their albums), but after stumbling on this song, I'll definitely keep an eye on them. This is beautiful!

@DiffCliff I am glad you like this song. Please check out the website of InsideOut Music. There you can find a short article of every album released by The Flower Kings. My own favourite albums are 'The Rainmaker' (2001) and 'Unfold The Future' (2002). Often The Flower Kings have been hailed as 'The Yes of the new Millenium!' :)
