Album | On the Threshold of Eternity |
Here I lay with nothing but broken heart. | |
I gaze across this wasteland that | |
I’ve made. | |
Locked in this prison, this fortress of my own design | |
I’d leave in an instant, if | |
I were not so afraid. | |
I look for some reason, in childhood’s heady days | |
Some explanation, ah, the fortunes of war. | |
Now I stare in the mirror, the face of a traitor and through the shifting fog comes a truth | |
I’d failed to see before.. | |
Dearest one, | |
Oh my sweet child. | |
I never wanted you to face this dark day. | |
Please realize, won’t you understand. | |
I never left you, it was you who walked away. | |
The world spins around, so it goes without mercy | |
I wait for the end - gone - and no one will know | |
Somewhere inside, a little boy struggles the wall collapses, and the tears begin to flow. | |
Child I know, how it feels to be laid bare. | |
Poured out like water, dispised and alone. | |
I’ve made a way, were once there was no passage. | |
You can be set free from all you’ve done what have you to loose? | |
This frightened child, creeps behind the shattered walls. | |
Stepping gingerly around the shards of broken glass to find a corner in the dark and wait for rescue or at the worst for the conqueror to come. | |
I cannot move, | |
I cannot Breathe, and | |
I’m so tired. | |
Oh God you must be there, | |
I have nothing left. | |
I have nothing left, and | |
I can’t fight anymore. | |
Please help me! | |
Come to me. | |
I will give you rest | |
I will take your burden, and comfort you. | |
I will give you, beauty for your ashes. | |
Mourn no more. | |
Come, take my hand. | |
What is this, my eyes do not see? | |
Yet my heart is alive and it trembles within me | |
One name escapes my trembling lips and the light tears the darkness that surrounded me. | |
What are you waiting for? | |
Child arise! | |
Alive I stand unsteady at first. | |
Like an eaglet with yet untried wings. | |
But the power and freedom that shouts within me. | |
Pushes me out to see this shining thing. | |
Through the threshold and into your birth. | |
With unrestrained thanks again | |
I cry. In this new light pure and perfect | |
I lift my head, | |
I spread my wings and | |
I fly. |
Here I lay with nothing but broken heart. | |
I gaze across this wasteland that | |
I' ve made. | |
Locked in this prison, this fortress of my own design | |
I' d leave in an instant, if | |
I were not so afraid. | |
I look for some reason, in childhood' s heady days | |
Some explanation, ah, the fortunes of war. | |
