lyrics
Lyrics:
Many nights have I gazed into that light above
Just to wonder what lies beneath its glow:
What tales of heroes, of sorrow, loss, and love, and of deeds untold?
What secret lives does darkness hold?
And now I stand alone,
In dreams to be reborn,
From deep in time they call.
They carry me away.
Long miles on empty roads,
In moonlight from skies unknown
I’ll see
What stories to be told?
A life left behind,
I'm ready now to find
This brave new world.
Growing up, growing old, growing into the world above,
Dreams of childhood left along the way,
Each passing day the magic fades just a little more,
Every moment on every soul a weight.
And now I stand alone,
In dreams to be reborn,
From deep in time they call.
They carry me away.
Long miles on empty roads,
In moonlight from skies unknown
I’ll see
What stories to be told?
A life left behind,
I'm ready now to find
This brave new world.
As the daylight wanes and the fire slowly fades away,
I think of places and memories I’ve left behind.
Deathless embers rise to light my way.
The ghosts will journey by my side.
Long miles on empty roads,
In moonlight from skies unknown
I’ll see
What stories to be told?
A life left behind,
But ready now to find,
‘Cause I’m alive and free,
Whole world in front of me,
And I don’t need the life I’ve left behind,
I’m ready now to find
This brave new world.
