III. Endless Dream
"Endless Dream" starts with the final notes of "Talk" continuing onto the track, which quickly fade into a quieter rhythm. The song consists mostly of Jon Anderson singing a refrain from "Talk" with an additional verse. It ends with the sound of a single heartbeat (a heartbeat from an ultrasound, not the typical 'Bump-Bump'). Jon Anderson stated that these lyrics described a way of calming oneself in meditation and slowing down from the fast pace of modern life.

“Every man who has lived for fifty years has buried a whole world or even two; he has grown used to its disappearance and accustomed to the new scenery of another act: but suddenly the names and faces of a time long dead appear more and more often on his way, calling up series of shades and pictures kept somewhere, “just in case” in the endless catacombs of the memory, making him smile or sigh, and sometimes almost weep.”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
“Nor shall you scare us with talk of the
death of the race.
How should we dream of this place without us?—
The sun mere fire, the leaves untroubled about us,
A stone look on the stone’s face?”
—Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
