The Wise Man's Fear - Where the Sky is Empty

Текст песни

Closed off windows, slamming doors
I can’t take this anymore
But time will show
Darker truths not known
And the reason why
I guard them with my life
You cannot know how I’ve searched for the words to express
A mere semblance of this emptiness
I’ll find a way back home
Gather 'round as you share in your final testament
I never got a chance to say goodbye
I never got a chance to see you off through the door as you cross to the other
side
(Each word weighing down
As if you knew that it was our last parting
Every pause profound
A fragmented haunting)
As I search the room
I feel you here
And I try to forget
That this time I’m all alone
This doesn’t feel like home
Being here without you
I’m so lost without you right now
This doesn’t feel like home
But time is quickly slipping
And I can hear you whispering «go on!»
Eyes up
Look closely
Take courage
That’s the key
Press on
Don’t falter
Look inward
That’s the key
I know if you could
You’d smile and tell me no tears
I know if you could
You’d take me far away from here
(Growing gold as sunlight
In our memory
Write a different story
A different melody)
As I search the room
I feel you here
And I try to forget
That this time I’m all alone
This doesn’t feel like home
Being here without you
I’m so lost without you right now
This doesn’t feel like home
But time is quickly slipping
And I can hear you whispering «go on!»
Closed off windows, slamming doors
I can’t take this anymore
Go conquer the world
Chase the sun, the golden dawn, to the pyramid palace
Go cut out the heart
A secret coded by the god of justice through the ages
Go conquer the world
Listen closely for my voice because the world is quiet there
Go cut out the heart
I’ll meet you out where the sky is empty
