Lyrics

I walk the line on living longer.
It's a shame I have to die,
though I know it carries me to that place of wonder.
My own fortitude is redeemed again,
in the light withstanding, home again, where the trees have names and the friendly wind keeps the mountains at ease and we all can see that it was truth we all were seeking.
It was mindless in the sun and we walked beneath the stars,
when the end of the day had come.
It took fifteen steps 'til he saw the sign of the old and the blind.
The unfortunate few who moved under the eyes of which they despise, but the counter scene is a home beside a friend.
Eternal love that never ends between the mountains and the deepest of the shining seas.
Beneath the letters in the books that we find,
beyond the places of your cold minds.
Opportunity is fine down town, but just remember that it's how you're found out.
'Cause in the loneliest of times I saw the holy oldest man alive.
Almost a - a holy metaphor in my own mind.
It happens all the time.
'Cause in the loneliest of times I saw the holy oldest man alive.
Almost a - a holy metaphor in my own mind.
It happens all the time.
