Lyrics A New Beginning - Keshav Dhar, Akeldama

A New Beginning

Enter a wintery wasteland
The sum of a lonely existence
The picturesque frozen plain
Of solitary continuance
A city of people
Who might as well be shards of ice
A metropolis
Juxtaposed astride a snowy tundra
I’ve longed for a new beginning
All I’ve ever wanted is to escape this
Frigid climate
That to perfection
Resembles my torn and tattered heart
I’ll remain on this train
Until it takes me far away from
This enslavement my life has become
Like an invitation
Heavenly melodies grace my ears
As she voices the slightest whisper
In the distance
I turn and I meet her eyes
In a flash my life goes blank
In a world as cold as this
I still can not resist the thought
That she can be the one to change my heart
She can mend the wounds brought me here
But her presence has left me speechless
Not a single word can escape these lips
I am surrounded by bliss
And nothing can pull me away
I am lost in my reflection
Captive by my obsession
Now this moment should just
Stay here with me
For your love will always be
Here, safe, for eternity
I’m still stunned
As the train stops
I can’t shake
This moment off
I watch her turn
And get off the train
I can see the glimmer of tears in her eyes
I finally come to my senses
Set foot
And exit the train just in time
«I've got to find her»
I think
As I frantically search the platform
She’s nowhere to be found
I’m back in this wasteland
Alone
There’s no one around me
How can this be?
Where did she go?
So alone
She must be lost in this desolate place like me
She is the light that will ignite my love
The key to set me free
I hear the shuddering sounds
Of suddenly shushed suffering
I see a slight blue glow
Against the grey backdrop through the window
As I approach the huddled figure in the street I speak:
«I have to say when I met your eyes»
«In a flash my life went blank
In a world as cold as this I still could not resist the thought
That you could be the one to change my heart»
«You can mend the wounds that brought me here
Now your presence has left me fearless
Not a single day longer will I wait
I have found my bliss
And nothing can pull me away»
«I was lost in my reflection
Captive by my obsession
I wish this moment could just stay here with me
For our love will always be
Here, safe, for eternity»
Two souls entwined through eternity
By a love forever threaded
Transcending reality and
Defying all comprehension
«This love
Is far above us
It’s divine
It’s everything we are and more»
«I was lost in my reflection
Captive by my obsession
I wish this moment could just stay here with me
A lifetime of memories
And on through eternity»
