lyrics

Well I know it's waiting to carry us over and I see you smile
Bridging the chasm that rages below with the ease of a child

I stood there waiting for news
Dragging this terrible weight to cut loose

While you choose to
Break the spell to
Bid farewell to
This illusion

I know it's waiting to drag us alone down the great divide
Thrashing and eager to swallow us whole like an angry tide

I saw you waiting for news
Frozen in stasis
My feet couldn't move when I need to
Stand beside you

Over the rainbow, the fires and terminal lights
I'm on a mission
Bound to the heart while the body is on borrowed time
I saw a vision
Recalled back to life
Will I see you there on the other side?

I know the artifice waits
Crashing down on me like a powerful wave when its time
When its time

I'm staring back through the gates
The body is willing but the mind hesitates to arrive
To arrive

We are a vanishing breed
A rusted cog in a dying machine
But I choose to
Stand beside you

Over the rainbow, the fires and terminal lights
I'm on a mission
Bound to the heart while the body is on borrowed time
I saw a vision
Recalled back to life
Waiting patiently on the...
Will you wait for me on...
Standing naked there on the other side
