Shadow Gallery - First Light lyrics
[Music: Gary Wehrkamp] [Lyrics and Vocal Melodies: Carl Cadden-James, M. Baker, Gary Wehrkamp] From the first gray light of the morning I've been gone On my journey towards the stars Will I know when I reach the other side The earth so blue it's like I'm dreaming Now I'm on my way Tainted shadows fall like rain Through the dark vast weight only silence lingers on The origin of existence lies somewhere far far beyond I feel unattached tranquility A hand from the heavens guiding me And wondering where this path will lead In a dream I'm lost and Floating through the atmosphere Searchig for significance against Infinity eternity I've been taken by the vast and Humbled by the weight of what I've seen You know they called for heros Cause heros carry on In know the world is fading So from the first gray light of the morning I've been gone Now I pray for a better life For all the ones I love We search beyond our reach And turn our gaze above I hope that it's the way To fill our basic needs And my sacrifice not vain And I'll return again The sands will filter through the timeless hourgla** As I pa** beyond the god of war Distant voices hear them crying out I must seek out new worlds and explore And I know that there just must be a place We will carry on Where our children can be free from the pain The human race It must be somewhere out in space The sands will filter through the timeless hourgla** As I pa** beyond the god of war Distant voices hear them crying out I must seek out new worlds and explore And I know that there must be a place It Must be somewhere out in space Silver moonbeams relfect the sun Martian Landscapes worlds beyond I touch down with no trace No sign of life on this place Now I feel a surge of energy The deepest pa**ion burns in me Somwhere there is a world not left To die The stars will shine their light down unto me Illuminating The stars will shine their light and I will see Will I find my way? So back to the darkness I fly In search of a hope in the sky I should have known right from the start I'll not return home It seems so surreal as I go The knowlesdge of science alone Can't save all the people I know That I've left behind The sun I know is growing smaller I drift for days on endless hours And what's there to fear now! No messages are getting through I fall into the black abyss of night I'm gone The pioneering spirit charges the unkown Accept the consequence of risk I'm all alone here Don't know if I'll return and The fate of life is on my heart I left a dying world behind On my way oh Where s our oasis in the sky The future of our race I left a poisoned world behind Now I see there's no Heaven bound oasis in the sky Only dreams I've got no destination Helpless I drift on The weight of silence how it's eating at my soul And yet I sense a stirring Something so spiritual I wonder if the fate of mankind Is in the hands of a higher power calling to us all I left a dying world behind On my way only God can stop the spiral down to hell The future of our race I left a poisoned world behind Now I see only Heaven's the oasis in the sky It's my dream
