"Beyond The Dead" lyrics

Are you like me, my friend?
Have you been holding back your soul?
As the night wraps the light into its darkness
This quest for paradise
Building our ships to pass the sun
Under the Orion, dreamers fly
Is there a place for you and I?

Father time, you will see me through
Can I ride with you when all is said?
I wanna be in your vision head
Gazing through your eyes to be led
I need to see what comes to be the future of mankind
I'll sell my soul to be awake inside your wheel of time
Beyond the dead

Yes, I'm coming to the dead
Leaving my vessel to be burned
Far away from the pain and all the madness
The ashes of my device
Give it to the stormy winds
And let my music play through lives of sadness

Mother Earth, I'll be missing you
When I make it through to the dead
Your children need to take care of you
Your final word isn't said
And I've survived my war inside
A treason of the blind
I'll drink my wine on the wings of time
For the world we leave behind
Beyond the dead

Father Time, I'm calling
Can you hear me cry?
Show me signs I'm falling
Is this my last goodbye?

Shadow dancers on a ledge in a swirl
Some falling off the edges of the world
Clouding the brain, phantoms of pain
God is just a silhouette in the rain
On his wings, I hover through the after skies
Turning all the pages of the life that's left behind
Scanning all the changes, things I never knew
In another chapter, but I still remember you
