Sieges Even - Sequence Viii: Styx lyrics

Sunlight is drowning the halflight As the feelings return Strange and familiar a nocturnal fear Appearing and disappearing There is the river running deep And it is floating through the veins A nameless dread of the unknown Temporary sight an apprehension Vague yet saddening Black angels guiding me The sum of all my fears Black angels owning me Whispering through me The ties are loosening Black angels guiding me me Into the wordless into the neverland All sights and sounds slowly dissolve No gravity no memory Far off stars in the afterglow A god removes the veil I'm holding in and I'm holding it out Until the strangeness disappears Last night I heard the waters dreaming Stones were fast asleep along the riverbed Let the waters wash all over me and let me dream again Of something good Let me dream of sheltered places of precious moments And of long-lost faces of truthful words that finally do make some sense Lay out these maps before me Let me trace again the borderlines of land and sea Flood the tide pools and wash away the shores No longer at the mercy of the waves just let me breathe again Let me stand and bathe in the healing light And one more time let me navigate just let me navigate by the stars Roads and rivers a winding in a circle Around the same old headstrong me Outside looking in time and time again Feeling the heat of a recurring dream
