For Absent Friends |
| There is a voice calling for me |
| There is a light coming down on me |
| There is a doubt that is clearing |
| There is a day that is dawning |
| There is a wound that is healing |
| There is a season waiting for me |
| There is a road that is turning |
| There is a fire still burning |
| A sickness in me |
| Constant pace towards the end |
| The need is stronger |
| This time the need is deeper |
| There is a peace I am searching |
| There is a freedom I’m depending on |
| There is a pain that’s never ending |
| There is a rain falling only on me |
| There is a dream I am living |
| There is a life I’m dreaming of |
| There is a death I’m awaiting |
| There is a home I am deserting |
| I hold my breath in wait |
| Only moments remain |
| Movement for departed hope |
| Effect for absent friends |
| Sever the faith from my body |
| Leave me begging for more |
| Take what I have and deliver me |
| Into everlasting sleep |
| Soothing trance |
| Colours fade |
| And disappear |
| Ethereal light |
| Showing me what I can do without |
| In a motionless scene |
| There is only me |
| I take what I can |
| Controlling you to get ahead |
| Fading away |
| And leaving |
| Long for sleep |
| Closer now |
| Lead the way into death |
| Every wretched dream |
| I’ve left behind |
| Every waking hour |
| I lie in wait |
| Sucked inside by will |
| Gone into the flood |
| All my questions unfurled |
| As I was put to the test |
| Once I’m below there’s no turning back |
| Plunging into the deepest void |
| Departed shell left drained behind |
| Pacing roads unknown |
| Searching for a new home |
| Desert in my eye |
| Barren lands inside |
