Ice on the wings and we were flying, Sand in our eyes but we were seeing Below us a crowd that wasn't buying, Watching us pass and not believing No one else has seen the sights that crossed our eyes, Everything beyond these purple skies No longer gone, We're back again-- No longer gone, We were dead but now returned No longer gone, Though the tides are standing still--No longer gone, And our bridges are still burning Marks on the floor where we were laying; Better explain what I'm saying Put us to rest but we're not staying; Life is the price that we'll be paying
