The Eternal Wayfarer

Back in the day I never had to choose my way

Without a clue, no need for a hand

Unaware I was dancing on the edge

But wasn't due

Oh, serene's the sea behind me

Into the whirl of devil time

A gentle rocking, then a crack in the cradle

You're asleep until you hit the ground

One for this road and another for after

Someone tell me, what's your after all about?

From  ease to  the sky

Until the world gets in the way

Ring in the age, countdown to zero

Chasing the afterglow, whoa

The outcome is set as far as I know, oh

Time and again, the sundown, it screams my name

But I try to turn away

The gorge of the instant devours the future

To spit it out as a fading memory

Gimme the strength to defy contradiction

When my mindset fails to let me see

Will I travel on

And longing, pave the road?

Ring in the age, countdown to zero

Chasing the afterglow, whoa

The outcome is set as far as they know, oh

Is it the end or maybe the outset?

Or just a stage of a whole I can't survey?

Time and again, it's screaming my name

So you don't wanna see

You realize that your senses have come

To the edge and you don't trust a single one

Don't wanna turn your inside towards the sky

Are we afraid to catch a glimpse of truth tonight?

Let the heavens reveal what's inside the afterglow

Is this light just based on perception now?

Do I refuse to perceive what is hard to ignore?

From ease through fire into the afterglow

And you don't wanna see, see that your eyes have come

To a point where you don't see why and where you run

Will you turn your inside towards the sky?

You're scared to death by what your heart may see tonight

Pictures of void burn in the afterglow

Purification or just a perception now?

Will you refuse to feel what you can't ignore?

From ease through fire into the afterglow

And I try to look as far as the eye can see

Past and beyond the dark painted wall

Oh

Ring in the age, countdown to zero

Chasing the afterglow, whoa

The outcome is set as far as I know, oh

Is it the end or maybe the outset?

Or just a stage of a whole I can't survey?

Time and again, it's screaming my name
