"The Departure" lyrics

I came back to life
Naked and tied to the floor
In the corner of my eyes
I saw them coming through the door

All is black
All is white
I open my eyes and face the airborne lights

I stared into the eyes of eternity
I've seen what no man's ever seen
I stared into the eyes of eternity
I've been where no man's ever been

I cannot move
None of my senses respond
I prepare myself for the life beyond

And as I look around
I realize I'm all alone
The dark surface awaits me
Chills me to the bone

Suddenly I'm rising up in the air
My mind was burning
And nothing but despair
I said farewell to the body they're stealing

All is black
All is white
I open my eyes and face the airborne lights

I stared into the eyes of eternity
I've seen what no man's ever seen
I stared into the eyes of eternity
I've been where no man's ever been

I wish I could scream
Or fade right back into the dream
But something here just keeps me awake

And I'm cut wide open
Maybe they search for my soul
This is more than a human can take

And don't tell me I'm dreaming
I know what I saw
I feel alive like never before

I stared into the eyes of eternity
I've seen what no man's ever seen
I stared into the eyes of eternity
I've been where no man's ever been
