Lời bài hát:

I spent the best years of my life waiting
For this moment
A time to call my own, a place to call my homeland

It's come here far too soon
I sit around my room
Hatching my plans and schemes I mostly leave forgotten

I spent my longest nights awake wondering through the outside
Amused but still deranged, divided on the inside

Returning to the core
The place i can't ignore
The wonder behind the fear I just can't seem to shake off

Oo-ee-oo
To dream or do
To do or die
To sink or fly

Oo-ee-oo
To get a clue
To run and hide
To laugh and cry

I turned my back on battles won and sailed to new adventure
The journey made by all, a lonely mortal tenure

To Ithaca I sailed
And though I have not failed
My home is a fleeting camp, the journey's just beginning

Oo-ee-oo
To dream or do
To do or die
To sink or fly

Oo-ee-oo
To get a clue
To run and hide
To laugh and cry

I spent the morning hours awake writing down the lyrics
Resolved to get it right - to capture the true spirit

Although I sing along
That moment now has gone
My heart still a restless sea where Ithaca is calling

Fun fact, the title track off of Michael Guy Bowman's album Ithaca was initially planned to be part of Mobius Trip and Hadron Kaleido. This cover is an attempt to capture what the original song might have been had it stayed on the original track listing. This is by far the most complex song I've worked on yet, I think there's like... 30 different instances of synths or instruments? At the very least? And plenty of them only end up playing for a couple seconds in the end. Regardless of all that, I had a lot of fun putting this together, and I hope I managed to capture that MTAHK vibe we all hold so close to our hearts.
