Clear Horizon Songtext

von Alter Bridge

If I died tonight
Would the question still remain
Did I live for what was right
Did I live this life in vain

A simulated lie
Just a spark that's sure to fade
Then I start to wonder why
Couldn't see the apparition from the start

Like a counterfeit
I've had enough of this
I bought the dream and it let me down, so

I want to take a risk
I want to learn to live
To find the one thing that can't be sold

This might be paradise
A mirage that's in decay
In this world it's hard to find
Something real among the wreckage of our hope

Like a counterfeit
I've had enough of this
I bought the dream and it let me down

Awake now I see
The clear horizon
Was just out of reach
From the start

If I take a chance
Will you cross the line with me
And amend this circumstance
Only this eternal truth can set you free

Like a counterfeit
I've had enough of this
I bought the dream and it let me down

Awake now I see
The clear horizon
Was just out of reach
From the start

Pure escape
Pure escape
Pure escape
It's not too late

Lay me down
In the field
I'm letting go

There is beauty to behold
A pure escape

Just take me now
To a place
Where I am whole

To fill the void that I have known
It's not too late

I want to take a risk
I want to learn to live
To find the one thing that can't be sold

Awake now I see
The clear horizon
Was just out of reach
From the start

The day we can see
The clear horizon
Is the moment
We save our broken hearts

The clear horizon
A pure escape
A clear horizon
