"The Gates of Delirium" is the first track on Yes's 1974 album, Relayer. Based on Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace,[1] the song begins with a prelude, which leads into a lengthy instrumental section (beginning at about the 8 minute mark) representing the battle. The final section (entitled "Soon"), released as a single in 1975, is a very gentle, soothing prayer for peace and hope which represents the aftermath of the battle. Before the re-issue of Tales from Topographic Oceans or In a Word: Yes (1969 - ), this was the longest officially released studio recording by the band with almost 22 minutes, taking up the entire first side of the LP. ~ Wikipedia
Soon
Soon oh soon the light
Pass within and soothe this endless night
And wait here for you
Our reason to be here
Soon oh soon the time
All we move to gain will reach and calm
Our heart is open
Our reason to be here
Long ago, set into rhyme
Soon oh soon the light
Ours to shape for all time, ours the right
The sun will lead us
Our reason to be here
Soon oh soon the light
Ours to shape for all time, ours the right
The sun will lead us
Our reason to be here

Jon anderson and Yes, so I heard, performed this number at The Warehouse, New Orleans, concert goers sitting on the floor. Now where's that time machine anyway!

They're angels, I tell ya!
In my youth (which carried on straight to my '40s), I just couldn't wrap myself around the lyrics for most of the songs. They were as difficult to grok as the Buddhist mysticism I occasionally attempted to read.
But a funny thing happened on the path to spirituality... now I get it. :)
Great music, and deeply inspiring lyrics.

This appeared as a fine, calmer contrast after the beautifully stormier first part of The Gates Of Delirium (Hell, even a record company, Delirium Records, was named after this song).

It's not a lap steel (which is played sitting, with the guitar placed on the player's LAP, it's a PEDAL steel (which is on a stand, like a keyboard), just like the country guys use! .....But, in Steve Howe's hands, it becomes a different thing altogether. He uses it extensively on And You And I, as well....

This is the perfect song to play while in a depression and will assure me all is alright. I love this piece, always makes me cry when I hear it.

This sound of guitar reminds me to Matte Kudasai by King Crimson.
