I find it hard to comment on the lyrics to this song, not because they're as nebulous as ever, but simply because they introduce and then pale before some of the most incredibly blistering music of Yes' halcyon days of the mid 70s.
All you mixers and samplers out there (who claim to be able to 're-invent' music), take the best bits from the best instrumental breaks from the best bands anywhere in the world, of any time, and you'll not even come close to the originality, diversity and sheer exhuberance of Sound chaser, or, for that matter, the 'battle' sequence in Gates of Delerium.
As Steve Howe once said in a VH1 interview, 'Hurrah for the seventies'. Hear hear.
