[edit] Lyrics
Seas invite in the evening sun
to light the somber abyss.
Clouds dance up with the heavens' stars,
chanting an air of joyous bliss.
Water fades back from blue to jade,
guiding young rainbows high.
Flowers bloom into red and white,
quenching our hearts when they run dry.
Angels chained by a beast locked in slumber.
Sin washed away by the swift flow of time.
I may know the answers.
Journeys over snow and sand.
What twist in fate has brought us
to tread upon this land?
Blessed by light and the burden of shadow.
Souls abide to an endless desire.
I may know the answers,
though one question I still hear.
What twist in fate has brought us
to roads that run so near?
Distant worlds together.
Miracles from realms beyond.
The lifelight burns inside me
to sing to you this song.
To sing with you this song.
To sing to you your song.
