Like a fuse to the end will burn
|
Like a wave when the tide has turned
|
You keep on coming regardless
|
You won't accept defeat
|
|
And in the light of a cold grey dawn
|
When all seemed lost and you felt so forlorn
|
You sensed a warmth surround you
|
And now you find you're
|
No longer on your own
|
|
It's impossible unbelievable news
|
It's impossible but it's true
|
|
You never thought you would ever be here
|
You never even dared to hope you would ever be here
|
In a world you used to dream of
|
And watch from afar
|
|
After all of the time gone by
|
Searching fruitlessly asking why
|
It's hard to stop the trying
|
To truly realize
|
|
That all the pain all that's gone before
|
Lies behind and you can close the door
|
In the past forever
|
No need to worry
|
No need to fear at all
|
|
It's impossible unbelievable news
|
It's impossible but it's true
|
|
You never thought you would ever be here
|
You never even dared to hope you would ever be here
|
In a world you used to dream of
|
And watch from afar
|
|
In every minute of every hour so many dreams die
|
Do you believe it will be any different this time
|
This dream will last forever
|
This day will never end
|
|
Now the fog surrounds you
|
Swirling all around you
|
Confusing all your senses
|
All you see are phantoms
|
Always just out of reach
|
They tantalize and beckon
|
Seduce but without promise
|
You don't want to be here anymore
|
You don't want to be here to take it anymore
|
Now the water rises
|
It takes you where it will
|
You cannot choose direction
|
Or control the motion
|
And in the end you're thrown up
|
On an island in the darkness
|
Nothing is familiar
|
Tell me are you frightened on your own
|
Do you have the will to carry on?
|
