Encyclopedia Lyrics - Ii = I - Andromeda

Turning the page, write to cease new ideas 

Thoughts - all duly recorded 

Maybe someday, all the rhymes, given time 

Would get justly rewarded 

So long ago, you don't even know how it started 

So there you go 

Stashing the sketches and drafts of what has become an 

Encyclopedia of all the things you've done 

Expect the media to bother when you're gone 

Hours and hours of sacrifice, no compromise 

Forced as if under orders 

Planning to take land sea and skies, but can't decide 

When to cross the borders 

Encyclopedia of all there is to know 

Encyclopedia - but what is there to show 

The piles just seem to grow 

Is this ambitions one man show 

There's only one man watching you, John Doe 

He's both on stage and in the front row 

Encyclopedia - your one and only friend 

Encyclopedia - will pay off in the end 

Turning around, the objective of the way you lived 

Hypothetical fortune, suddenly found 

You're at the gate - it's too late 

Psychological torture 

So long ago, since you should have put it all out there 

So now you go 

Leaving for us to discover the paths you have tread 

Encyclopedia - all written by his hand 

Encyclopedia - will we ever understand 

Now he will never know 

Swept away by the undertow 

The world is listening now, John Doe 

Come back and reap what you have sown
