The Departure Lyrics

8. The Departure

I came back to life
Naked and tied to the floor
In the corner of my eyes
I saw them coming through the door

All is black
All is white
I open my eyes and faced the airborn lights

[Chorus]
I stared into the eyes of eternity
I've seen what no man's ever seen
I stared into the eyes of eternity
I've been where no man's ever been

I cannot move
Behind myself is a spark
I pray on myself of who I left behind

And as I look around
I realize I'm all alone
The dark so wide so wasted
It chills me to the bone

Suddenly arising up in the air
My mind was burning
The bodies that they spare

I said farewell to the bodies their stealing

All is black
All is white
I open my eyes and face the airborn lights

[Chorus]
I stared into the eyes of eternity
I've seen what no man's ever seen
I stared into the eyes of eternity
I've been where no man's ever been

Always setting us free
I'll fit right back into the dream
But something here just keeps me awake

And I'm cut wide open
Maybe they search for my soul
This is more than a human can take

And don't tell me I'm dreaming
I know what I saw
I'll feel alive like I've never before

[Chorus 2x]
I stared into the eyes of eternity
I've seen what no man's ever seen
I stared into the eyes of eternity
I've been where no man's ever been
