lyrics

Sun breaks in the yellow air, soaked to the bone,
Heat beams in waves on deserted distant sands, far along.
And the mountain sides roll down and dive,
Further on, further on, our boat sails further on, to the sea.
And the green fields give away to amber ranges dry.
Terrain that blanches in the rays, reveals some ancient ruins,
Where desolated fragments of the past lay wasted in white,
Monuments, forgotten now, remind us as they die.

Out of the ordinary moments of a lifetime,
Into the blinding light of things we’ve never seen.
Circling sparks and embers rise and glide around us,
Stars we are meant to be.

Spellbound in the crystalline, shell-shocked as we stand beguiled.
Kindling, the air ignites, nothing that we recognise.
Sail on to the other side,

Out of nothing, glimmers shine,
Dancing in suspended flight,
Knowing in retreat from life,
Steady as she goes so bright.
Like we’re sailing to the other side.
Sailing to the other side.


We wake up in a different realm, darkness all around.
A great hall takes form in the distance.

A figure approaches now, floating through the air.
White clouds convey her towards us.

Take a knee for her majesty.

She speaks slow in an unknown tongue, we somehow understand.
She beckons us forward to reach her.
We can only obey her voice and follow her commands,
We reply in her own new language.

Arms open wide, from within forms a gateway,
Her presence disappears, bathed in the light.

Through the gateway, a valley trail,
Gathering together, proceed to the deep,
Smooth silver hills that engulf us as one,
We’re claimed by the land and lead on to our fate.
In this valley of mirrors, our nemeses wait.
