Lyrics
| "Souls" lyrics [Click here] |
Draw back the curtains, there is light
Our mystery shall be revealed
Like a raindrop falling from the sky
We'll merge with the ocean of souls
Nothing in the distance
Can't you see your journey's end?
Only existing as a memory
Life is free, make the most
Of what'cha got before it costs
Fly with the wind, don't be
Chained down by your doubts
Plant the seed, feed the need
That breeds inside you
And we will never turn to stone
Our spirit will travel beyond
If you're searching for the answers
You will find there is no proof
Feel the void, it waits
Bound by man's fate
Flesh will rot inside the tomb
No return from death
Embrace the end, solitary entrapment
Souls cascade, time dissolves
Embrace your fate
Elevate, ascend beyond your mind
Submerge with the stream of life
From this mortal zenith we inhale
We gaze on the valley of life
Everyday must close
I have turned to stone
Existing as a memory
Time dictates our end
White light pulls me, shines on my memory
Intrigue draws me, mortal mystery
Mist engulfs me, clouds our history
Elation guides me, senses in harmony
Myth engulfs my senses...
