A Beginning

Lyrics for A Beginning

The silence dominates, divining resolutions from my hands Lines drawn in the sand But my volition's wry, my temperance twisted, faced with failing light Nothing in my sight If I fall into the ocean, send my soul into the sea Will these reflections trouble me? Will I dream my final dream? I sensed this silhouette who's standing vigil growing very sore Just one moment more Before I close the curtain, fate uncertain; spirit to the dark Endlessly apart Can I fall into the ocean, send my soul into the sea? No distant echoes haunting me, no further phantoms will I see This silence held eternally But what if the silence is broken by the ones you've loved? Incredibly present with heavenly breath to wake you up? With nothing left to poison a portrait of who I've become Only elation remains, protecting us from this never-ending night Dear apparition, while my senses last Is absolution far too much to ask? Will you forgive a truly troubled past? The silver lining still remains, the sights I've left to see So trust that, with this end, a new beginning's waiting patiently
