"The Saint Beyond The River" lyrics

For the saint beyond the river
I will take another step
For to see the final thread of life
Will sow my soul again

For the saint beyond the river
I will see the face of God
For the saint beyond the river
Carry on

Memories are brittle at their best
Preserve me through my sword and all the songs within my chest
If I have any voice that carries through
I hope it keeps the words I use
Emblazoned on the winds to carry on

For the saint beyond the river
I will take another step
For to see the final thread of life
Will sow my soul again

For the saint beyond the river
I will see the face of God
For the saint beyond the river
Carry on

The eyes of time have stared at me for years
With half a life to go, I pray that patience conquers fear
Before the dark becomes a part of me
Please take the light that I can leave
And use it as your strength to carry on

For the saint beyond the river
I will take another step
For to see the final thread of life
Will sow my soul again

For the saint beyond the river
I will see the face of God
For the saint beyond the river
Carry on

I gaze to the stars
That shine beyond the river down below
These saints shine against me
As they always seem to do
For who am I if not the son of those I look up to
I gaze through my past beyond the pale and dark of night
I hope the light that comes before
Will save these earthbound eyes, but
If it won't, I'll still try

For the saint beyond the river
I will take another step
For to see the final thread of life
Will sow my soul again

For the saint beyond the river
I will see the face of God
For the saint beyond the river
Carry on

For the saint beyond the river
I will take another step
For to see the final thread of life
Will sow my soul again

For the saint beyond the river
I will see the face of God
For the saint beyond the river
For the saint beyond the river
For the saint beyond the river
Carry on
