"Shine" lyrics

We're barriers against the tide
We're wonders that refuse to shine
Blinded by eternal dark
Like shadows on a shooting star

There's a fallen anchor on a distant shore
Where the boiling angels listen to the oceans roar

Today I never saw the sun
Today your shadow was the only one

Did I go too far?
Soaring higher and higher
If I touch the sun will I shine forever?

Did I cut too far?
Digging deeper and deeper
If I pass the shore will I slip away?

Today I never saw the sun
Today your shadow was the only one
Today I never saw the sun
Today your shadow was the only one

We're barriers against the tide
We're wonders that refuse to shine
We're blinded by eternal dark
We're anchored to the evening star
We're deafened by the tolling bell
We're dragging through the endless swell
We're phantoms to the borderfire
Like stallions to the wretched mile

We're barriers against the tide
We're wonders that refuse to shine
We're blinded by eternal dark
Anchored to the evening star
We're deafened by the tolling bell
Dragging through the endless swell
We're phantoms to the borderfire
Like stallions to the wretched mile
