lyrics

When the waters have gone away
And our soles befriend a ravaged land
Ever after and here to stay
Are the new archways of familiar clans
One of us will arise unscathed
Boldly leading us to brighter dawns
And one of us will be led astray
Swallowed up by every right gone wrong

But for now you’ll be
A friend found in the great eternity
For now you will be
A fire that smiles, a welcome company

When the instinct to separate
Ties me to silos of errand’s yield
What’s there left but contemplate
The nature of the beast that waits concealed
It’s back to basics after the rain
Throwing darts at pictures that you drew
For in the rubble of what remains
Your depravity begins anew

But for now you’ll be
A friend found in the great eternity
For now you will be
A fire that smiles, a welcome company
For now you will be
The artifact in ruins of a dream
For now you will be
A knower of the in-between we seek
