"Vermillion" lyrics

He awakes on the shore
Where the sands of time don't flow anymore
He draws in the sand
An SOS, he's lost and damned

In a desert of vermillion waves
Folding over like glimmering flames
Here his sun kissed body will now lay
Left to wander aimlessly

And even when all seems lost
The stars show the way
But where can he find them
When the sun steals the day

I can't see beyond the mirage
And the rain abandons me
While the sun tries to tear me apart
Will the night comfort me

And take my hand
And guide me through these forsaken sands
Far away, lost and damned
Bare as birth, here he stands
Here he stands

In a desert of vermillion waves
Folding over like glimmering flames
Here his sun kissed body will now lay
Left to wander aimlessly

And even when all seems lost
The stars show the way
But where can he find them
When the sun steals the day

I can't see beyond the mirage
And the rain abandons me
While the sun tries to tear me apart
Will the night comfort me

Save your tears til you have enough rain
To wash this mirage away
To wash this mirage away
A billion rain drops bless the vermillion
And his eyes no longer need to deceive him

There's no more time, no more pain
For this is why they've been made one

And for this purpose, they've been made one
Now we can see the Great Work is done
Put any and all ambitions to rest
We'll need nothing more and be nothing less
