lyrics

Over mountains steep, under shadows deep
All that beckons is not what it seems
In the darkest night burns a faint distant light
When it shines, close your eyes, and dream
And dream…

When embers fade, and darkness falls
We fear the silence, more than the storm
The lives we lead are but a whisper on the wind
Like fleeting dreams, that fade away

As we walk (as we walk) through the shadows (the shadows) of our memories
As we’re drawing our lines in the sand

The lives we treasure, the things we’ve known
Will they be forgotten? Will they die alone?
Our lives will pass, like embers on the wind
Our flames will burn, then fade away

As we walk (as we walk) through the shadows (the shadows) of a memory
Still we’re drawing our lines in the sand

Over mountains steep, under shadows deep
All that beckons is not what it seems
In the darkest night burns a faint distant light
When it shines, close your eyes, and dream

And dream…

Solo (van Heerden)

Fly my friend, for a new day dawns
And the shadows hold no fear
There in the clearing we’ll meet again, some better day
And we’ll leave the dark behind

Deep within the dark lie the chains that bound your soul
Now you walk through the firestorm, and you blaze into the light
Deep within the river, lie the answers that you seek
To why we die, why all our paths must lead to night

Why we walk through the shadows of our memories
Why we draw our lines in the sand
For all those we have lost, but not forgotten
For the ones who will burn with the stars

Over mountains steep, under shadows deep
All that beckons is not what it seems
In the darkest nights burn the brightest distant lights
When they shine, close your eyes, and dream

Leave your fear behind, take your place in the light
Rest your head, close your eyes, and dream
