Lyrics Sentinel - The Crüxshadows

Sentinel

Visions of everything in life that could ever be
And every word rips inward back through time (back through time)
Reflections living still
A burrow of possibility
Calling back for reinforcements
But no one arrives (arrives)
No retreat from the finite waging
Forward forever (forever)
I’m alive
And it feels like so much
Always hanging over me
The weight of the world descending
As I struggle underneath
And it feels like so much
Always hanging over me
I just need to know
That I’m not down here alone
And on this hill I’ll make my stand
For the hour is close at hand
This is the moment, this is the time
And with each heartbeat lives a chance
But the hour so close at hand
Defines in a moment a purpose to life
I am the sentinel (the sentinel)
I am the sentinel
Each action carried out lives on for an eternity (eternity)
It ripples across a pool of scattered light
Where every choice is cloaked in moments of uncertainty (uncertainty)
If you look within you’ll see the monsters hiding deep inside your own life
And it feels like so much
Always hanging over me
The weight of the world descending
As I struggle underneath
And it feels like so much
Always hanging over me
I just need to know
That I’m not down here alone
And on this hill I’ll make my stand
For the hour is close at hand
This is the moment, this is the time
(In silence stands the sentinel)
And with each heartbeat lives a chance
But the hour so close at hand
Defines in a moment a purpose to life
(In silence stands the sentinel)
And on this hill I’ll make my stand
For the hour is close at hand
This is the moment, this is the time
(In silence stands the sentinel)
And with each heartbeat lives a chance
But the hour so close at hand
Defines in a moment a purpose to life
(In silence stands the sentinel)
And on this hill I’ll make my stand
For the hour is close at hand
This is the moment, this is the time
And with each heartbeat lives a chance
But the hour so close at hand
Defines in a moment a purpose to life
