I reach to you my father
See me bound in chains
Now time has granted me
The language of the waves

If I fall away
Release me
Will you hear my cries
Through the dark

Call me out
Across the waves
Guide my spirit
And bring me home to you

As I fall away
Release me
Can you hear my cries
Through the dark

Call me out
Across the waves
Guide my spirit
And bring me home to you

When climbing high
Are bleeding vines
Through changing words
Forget before

Oh empathy
Don't leave me now
No, empathy
I can't be alone

In falling eyes
Unending night
The sound of tears
Where endings lie

Oh empathy
Don't leave me now
No, empathy
I can't be alone

Arrive the torture
And the pain tears through my mind
Release an ocean
From the storm that's in the sky

If fewer words between us are spoken
They have to mean more
They have to mean more
As weeping vines that bind us are undone
Remember before
Remember before

Anguish, veiled in illusion
Ascent at cost of compassion

The mask that they wear bores in to their skin
But each part, in time, will be stripped away
Revealing the scars hidden within
Until there's nothing left?

Reach beyond the light or
Drift in to the dark

Reach beyond the light or
Drift in to the dark

Reach beyond the light or
Drift in to the dark

A mirror for reality
of who I long to be

As I stretch out my hand
The light begins to fade

Adrift in thought and reverie
A shadow that hides in me

Long have I travelled beneath the palest sun
Nothing to guide me, no path ahead
Searching for reason, for hope amongst this desolation
Trusting that faith will set me free, set me free

Through adversity we find our reason
Through the misery we find our hope
And through this pain we find our strength
As we let go we find ourselves

Though this life was torn in two
We'll find that we were always one
Take heart, brighter days will come
Take heart, brighter days will come

[ Part I - Resolution ]

A wall, pieced together with fragments of words
Was I too departed to see it grow?
So far I move along, carried by the tide;
But now I see the flow of which I have no control

Each time you run away,
Each time I pass the day
Deep down in the echo

And every time you leave me here,
Every time you disappear,
The quiet storm moves closer

For now the memories return to face me
Each time, I turn away abashed, ashamed
Like frail larvae of weak facade,
I prepare myself by focusing within

For now I move along, carried by the tide...

[ Part II - Awakening ]

Build me up from ashes,
Forge the iron rust
Grow a virgin Eden
From rich and fertile soil

Shine on the ether in me (deep down in the echo),
That turns the hope into change (deep down in the echo)

As tides release their grip on shores,
We cannot be on both sides of the ocean

Shine on the ether in me (deep down in the echo),
That turns the hope into change (deep down in the echo)

[ Part III - Reflection ]

'Though the past lies ever trailing,
It is never farther than a breath away.
The years acquaint as teachers,
Passing scholars of wisdom.
Each time you withdraw,
And thereupon repent, remember:
You cannot start a new line
Without lifting pen from page.'

Hope ignites the flame dormant for too long
Free me from affliction so I can move on

Mental confines of uncertainty
Fall in the face of awakening

As a new wall lay before me,
I look back on how far I've come
Reflecting from a new perspective
Who I was and who I am
The years are mentors, passing by me
Lessons learned from things I've done
I am the storm now, I am the tide and
I know myself and that's enough

Down in the void
I was blind to the world
But now I am free

I let go
I let go

Free from the echo,
The world turns again
And I find home
