Lyrics for Between Scylla and Charybdis

It will take forever For us to meet again If you even live - how could you know? The door we used, so casually That ancient gateway Bridging vast spaces between which Light itself had barely travelled That great eye Would blink, flare, close forever Fading from our existence There was no time, no recourse Horror encroached upon the system you were in Abandon you to save us all Between Scylla and Charybdis I mourn for you - but more I mourn for me For it was me who closed the gate With you on the other side So how can I live When you are gone Fallen into memory Your path ends - mine stretches on I journey on alone Now a solitary figure
