Working alone, engaging the stone, our lives went flashing past
No time to think, it was through in a blink of an eye,
With the outside world, watching on, living in silent hope,
Asking questions, theories tested, one of us sings our favourite song.

One way in, one way out,
Pitch black darkness, darker than the night
One way in, one way out,
... One way in...

Three hundred and twenty-one hours, locked inside the earth
Three hundred and twenty-one hours, before we'd see the sun again
Three hundred and twenty-one hours, every minute lasts a lifetime
Three hundred and twenty-one hours... ..

Days slowly passed, no sound at all, locked inside a claustrophobic nightmare,
Hearing sounds from up above, scratching, knocking, moving slow,
Only a matter of time they said, only a matter of faith
Plenty of that from inside and out, but not enough air to breathe...

One way in, one way out,
Pitch black darkness gives way to the light,
One way in, one way out,
Perilous journey, inching closer, moments at a time...

Three hundred and twenty-one hours, locked inside the earth
Three hundred and twenty-one hours, before we'd see the sun again
Three hundred and twenty-one hours, every minute lasts a lifetime
Three hundred and twenty-one hours... ..

‘Til the outside world...
‘Till the outside world...
‘Til the outside world comes crashing in

Three hundred and twenty-one hours, locked inside the earth
Three hundred and twenty-one hours, before we'd see the sun again
Three hundred and twenty-one hours, every minute lasts a lifetime
Three hundred and twenty-one hours... ..

Effect: While the song is in effect, Doug's temporal state slows down dramatically. From his point of view, while only five and half minutes pass, the outside world progresses 321 hours (or 58 1/3 hours per minute).

Ah, so like "Fly Like An Eagle", only without the flight aspect... but is he visible or outside the time stream like he is with "Eagle"?

Hmm. Judging by the lyrics, I think his mage-talent may eliminate him from outside sight ("locked inside the earth"), while he and anyone else he is veiling with this ability have no ability to perceive the outside ("one way in, one way out,/pitch black darkness gives way to the light"). So, outside.
