lyrics

Every so often, a drama occurs
Close your blue eyes as the truth unfurls

We’ve been led astray to a cliff sided hill
Now it’s out of our hands, we can’t do a thing
One thing we can do is sing
I’m wide awake, my thoughts make me weep. I think I should go back to sleep.

And we know, what awaits us down below.
It’s the end, my friend. Now it’s time to go.

No prophet around that could split the sea, I wish you were here next to me. But it’s out of my hands and I can’t do a thing. The one thing I can do, is sing.

The evening is cloaked in symphony and if I’m honest there’s no place I’d rather be.
When you burn twice as bright, you last half as long, and I have burned brighter than our own sun.

It’s out of my hands and I can’t do a thing, the one thing I can do is sing. While I’m wide awake, my thoughts make me weep. I think I should go back to sleep.


When faced with defeat, we hold our heads up high
Not a word has been said, but love is still felt

When it’s out of our hands and not a thing can be done, we agreed that we’d burst into song
Well the moment is now so let’s make it count. I hope I will see you around.

A spot in the history books, as long as my name. I fear that my victories will go up in flame. But there’s one silver lining that adds all the worth. That the ashes will fall down and feed the earth.

You reap what you sow, I did what I could and the future will bear the fruit.
What once was in my hands, I gave to you.
I’m going up into the blue.
