From the recording THE JOURNEY EP5
Lyrics
I close my eyes and drift into oblivion
In the Stygian darkness of the forest I feel the way
Walking along narrow rocky pathways
Past silent ruined buildings
Without movement, without light
Desolate.
Empty.
The silence punctuated by distant voices
Calling.
Waiting
Until I reach our designated meeting place
By the waterfall cascading into depths below
Dimly illuminated your shrouded face
Hidden behind dark shadows
Revealed from another life
Soulmate perhaps, or protagonist
A distant memory, an impression
Your silhouette tattooed in my mind
Framed in the window of my soul
“Follow me to reach the higher place.
Where anticipation and fulfillment are the same.
Where darkness turns to light.
Come with me for a journey without end.
Or go back to nothing”
We go down long winding corridors
Images of others I once knew flash past
Until we cross that invisible divide
Between then, now and what will be
Now I know there is no going back
And so I go
Deeper
Darker
In one direction
Until your image vanishes
Your silhouette an illusion
And I walk out of the dark into green fields
Where the light fades from a setting sun
The earth’s daily journey masked in twilight
Warmed in the endless summer evening
And in that one moment I know
I am at home for the first time
Though I have never been here before
And will never pass this way again
As the waters engulf me
Down
Crashing
Into the void
Down
Down
Down
