Progression:

[Riff 1] x2

[Riff 1] x2 /w lyrics:

I wandered home through silent streets, and fell into a fitful sleep.
Escape to realms beyond the night. Dream, can't you show me the light?

[Riff 2] x2 /w lyrics:

I stand atop a spiral stair; an oracle confronts me there.
He leads me on lightyears away, through astral nights, galactic days.

[Riff 3] x2 /w lyrics:

I see the work of gifted hands that grace the strange and wonderous land.
I see the hands of man arise with hungry mind and open eyes.

[Riff 3a] x1
[Riff 2] x1

[Riff 2] x2 /w lyrics:

They left our planets long ago. The elder race still learn and grow.
Their power grows with purpose strong to claim the home where they belong;
