|
Between the whispers |
|
A lonely candle flickers and it slowly fades |
|
Into its grave |
|
And as if knowing |
|
Enchantment slowly runs her fingers down my spine |
|
A jagged line |
|
Who waits for me? |
|
Now who waits for me? |
|
Who waits so long, so long, so long... |
|
And shall I wait? For dawn won't come |
|
Or shall I sink into myself? |
|
All is disquiet |
|
A dark, assassin spirit draws back from the room |
|
Time folds in two |
|
I've vexed him surely |
|
I'm ravaged by my need for light |
|
It's all I feel, all I see |
|
I live and breathe and cry and die |
|
For Love |
|
And shall I cast composure down? |
|
And shall I wait forevermore? |
|
I hear so sorrowful a sound |
|
Maybe, in time I'll fly away |
|
And trade these wings in for a life |
|
A life where I am stronger and |
|
A place where there's no sleepless nights |
|
Or Moonlit arches cover me |
|
These paintings and these statues stare |
|
Chastised and imprisoned here alone |
|
Under your stars |

So was it all worth it? |
|
To sing out my song and to scream |
|
I had the fire |
|
The passion and will |
|
My dedication mistaken for disloyalty |
|
I'm lost in the heavens |
|
Statue in time |
|
Like ghosts in a prison |
|
And come undone |
|
And all those living out their lives in company of riders |
|
Silent and deliberate as they're counting out their coin |
|
I just can't relinquish my opinion that I'm so much different |
|
Insolent, their sins have drug then down into the deep |
|
The deep |
|
The deep |
|
The race not to the swift |
|
The prize, she just never fell, right to the brave |
|
A long, long time ago |
|
And somewhere lost in all the rage |
|
I was just a brush stroke away |
|
And the wind has caught the sails |
|
No one who's ever knelt here before |
|
Has stopped to count up the cost |
|
They're gone, gone, lost in time |
|
Can love be so indulgent that it blinds you to your faith? |
|
And in the end the weight is all but lifted off |
|
The stars continue on their course |
|
And you fall away |
|
Fall away |
|
And it all comes around |
|
Another good man goes down |
|
He floods away |
|
Sorrow cannot bind me like the common thief |
|
I'll come out and I'll shine |
|
Just like a caustic ray of light |
|
All of the raised here the choirs alive |
|
It's just a matter of words spoke |
|
out over the river of time |
|
Gone off to war or gone off to hate |
|
You see me brandish the torch and |
|
The sword of your fate is real |
|
I walk alone through the spiritless void |
|
All account of my love, oh |
|
My sweet flowing love, lost in vain |
|
On and on...and on and on |
