Be silent Speak no more Find your force before it slips into the void Be vigilant Stay your hand And stand your ground in No Man's Land Be silent now Deceptions are whispered In tongues of fire The will of the machine The spider on the wire Roiling seas beyond a web of steel How did I never see their waves before today? I only wish to run away Violet skies are mirrored in my eyes It must be by design, because it feels so real I want to believe I can heal Each time I draw near, again I'm forsaken It must be illusion and nothing more I give up on the dream each time I awaken Still it compels me An unseen shore The darkening sky calls me out This voyage seems more and more familiar every night Now, in defiance of my doubt Intensifies that omnidirectional light I am lost And silently hoping to say my last goodbye Maybe this time The shroud that wraps around my throat Vehemently denies The world behind my eyes Despairing in the storm I fear I am fated to be drawn beneath The shapeless cold, the fathomless deep But then the parting fog reveals the truth An island comes into view The hidden hand That lifts my voice Heeds the calling and leaves me with no choice The bleeding edge Comes all too soon And tears the silence open like a wound
