Away

Celestial vault, clear ocean of starlight
Thyne is the knowledge, thyne is my life
Days lost in haze, in thy reckoning shine
My essence, secluded, lies treasured in thee.

Lo! I do not belong here
Empty-handed I pray the distant Cosmos
Take me!
Lo! I do not belong here
Hopelessness in me, what have I become, how?
Eternal grief upon my heart.

Devoid of substance, fulfillment I seek
Though questions of ages bear no release
Pillars of strength crumble, wisdom is denied
Ours is the failure, as cold as winter ice.

Sunrise is waiting, a promise in his wake
Longed-for unveiling of times long gone by
Grey spirits roaming, gathered in Limbo
Thirsting for life we lose ourselves
And I.

Lo! Dawn is getting closer
A thousand suns ablaze, such is my reflection
I'll live!
Lo! Dawn is getting closer
Rising up in flames, vestige of my sadness
A frail memory.

Lo! I do not belong here
Dubious whispers die, shrinking into darkness
Lulled by the breeze I'm away
I'm away.
