[music & lyrics by: daniel gildenlow]
|
|
"I'm here now, by your side" Sheltered from the cold, a soldier guards a boy.
|
Clocks are cutting as times pass by their pain
|
(bringing release through the book on his knees)
|
(keep trying, keep trying, keep dying inside)
|
|
"Hush now little child, it's time to say goodnight.
|
Find rest in my lullaby this night
|
I'll still be here when the nightmists draw near"
|
(blind figures controlling his life)
|
(keep falling, keep falling, keep falling down now)
|
|
"Have faith my son - reach for my hand and I'll walk with you till the sun
|
goes down. Follow me now, we will meet again in your land.
|
(have faith my son) Now I'll lead you home."
|
|
Opening stillness, reaching through illness. They walk in nightmist.
|
"Now, we meet again. I'm so close to you now. Again we laugh."
|
|
Where shallow waters reach for unknown mystic shores
|
they gaze at the horizon and smile
|
|
[daniel gildenlow]
|
|
"Behold my son - reach for the vision that fills your mind, just let go and
|
run. Follow the path that was meant for you long ago. (behold my son) And
|
cross the plains of dawn."
|
|
Wordless questions, tearful confessions.
|
They meet at last now, when it is time to go separate ways
|
(fading pages) They have touched through ages.
|
|
"Remember me my son, it's time to say...goodbye.
|
I'll free you from your prison - now go!
|
You're free now, the wave meets the shore!"
|
(keep running, keep running, keep running home kid)
|
(winning a war made him lose evermore)
|
|
"Farewell my son - the tubes that were straining you to a death within life
|
are gone. Wait for us, I and your mother will cherish you my son. I cry as
|
I'm watching you run across plains of dawn."
|
|
...and so through that evening a soldier is leaving his son once again
|
and a war has been lost...
|
Forlorn he is reeling, unmendably kneeling.
|
But fate leaves no choice: now he must close the book!
