Our first release of "Beacon"!
Lyrics
See the young man take a chance
The old life he will throw away
And take it into his hands
Start bearing all the weight
His friends advise him kindly
There's no castle in the clouds
No emerald city waiting
It's sane to harbour doubts
Please understand why
I can't stay here
I see the future
And I have to keep moving on
Please understand why
I can't be here
The soul leads
Until it's broken
See the old man wondering down the street
We all think he's crazy
He doesn't know where he's going
Or the end he's bound to meet
He never answers questions
He could never really explain
The stars within his universe
Or the beacon in his brain
Please understand why
I can't stay here
I see the future
And I have to keep moving on
Please understand why
I can't be here
The soul leads
Until it's broken
Falling down
But not falling apart
I hear voices in this empty room
Urging me to start
From here
Without fear
And I know better than to leave myself behind
Follow me
It's fight or flight
Towards the beacon in the night and
Destiny feels heavy in my hands
Out of control
And I won't complain
It's so big you can't contain
You just can't contain
Please understand why
I can't be here
The soul leads
Until it's broken
