I can see you through the lonely sky As I begin my last journey I can hear you through the silent clouds And the swishing willow tears I can feel you, your unblinking eye My voice sinking to a whisper I can smell you on the wings of fear I sense you drawing near Now I know why you came here Now I know why I came here I escape (I escape), I escape (I escape) from your world Sail away (sail away), sail away (sail away) to destiny Shadow ferryman pulling at the oars And I swill down bitter water To the sun I wave a last farewell I expire, I leave no trace My life dances truths I could not face In the mist amid the sorrows In the river that is without joy My faults, they will dissolve Now I know why you came here Now I know why I came here I escape (I escape), I escape (I escape) from your world As the air (as the air) echoes all (echoes all) that you told me I'm alive (I'm alive), I'm alive (I'm alive) in your heart Sail away (sail away), sail away (sail away) to destiny [Whispers]
