Cross The Sea

lyrics

Cross the Sea

It may all look straight but sincerely
I don’t care anymore - or let’s say I’m not so sure
Is it ever too late? To fail this may mean victory
Is this what I must do or is the opposite true?

A matter of days and I’m closer to being free
or is it a one-way street? What are you thinking, please?
I’m in a daze and I am afraid to believe
That all this could soon be reality

It never seemed to work - pray to my demiurgs
I won’t get sold as a slave on barren earth

My fate was delayed but now I shall nevermore stall
It may seem strange to you all but then you did not fall
In those dreaded days I could not find a second
to breathe
Seems you would never have dreamed I was ready
to leave

From up & far away - finally here to stay
never dared to dream of being repaid
Behind the mudstreet’s turn -sweet things to be earned
can finally rest my bones in promised land
You act like I’m insane - but it’s fresh blood to my brain
Now everything I do is mine again.
