Lead me along to the end of the line Where I’ll take all my woes and leave them behind Step by step the world draws near When time resumes so will the fear Fight, fight, fight It burns, this raging of the light These walls have stood strong from the day they were risen So now begins the cataclysm
It shakes and shakes, right to the hollow in my heart It break and breaks, the walls begin to part With silver string I try to tend Frantic stitching meant to mend Silver straining to hold the pacts Struggling to close the growing cracks But in the end the walls cannot hold In the end my defenses fold And in and in the tides invade The one thing that all have obeyed
The time, the time It is here Now there is no stage for fear The stone does crumble The earth does rumble Dodge the rocks as they tumble For here is the wave as it washes through Even if you have not a clue Wave your arms and kick your legs Swim the currents you must brave
So I swim, I swim for the shore Sink fingers in the beach, aching and sore I’ve lost the silence I knew before Wild and untamed life abound Terrifying beauty does surround Ecstasy and agony walk hand in hand As I roll to my back on this bed of sand The gilded cage is torn asunder Bared to the world, this splendid wonder
You led me along to the end of the line Hiding from the world was my crime Take a deep breath Prepare for immensity Take a big step Because courage is necessity
