Into the Light

(v1)
No long goodnight is waiting
No rites to give me peace
An immortal, lonely pagan
Im eternally free
Ive walked long barren miles
Across Egypts desert sand
Seen tribes fight unholy battles
Deep in the Holy Land

(v2)
Ive sailed in iron warships
Felt death rain from the sky
Plunged in drowning submarines
Tasted the fear of those who died
Ive been there with all of you
When youve won and lost your wars
Lived centuries of blood and pain
Seen killings by the score

Chorus
The fall of Man, the end of Time
Earthly kings felled in their prime
I was there, I saw it all
The savage writing on the wall
Then I grew so weary of the fight
I chose to soar into the light

(v3)
I know a secret haven
Where days are bright and clear
A tranquil, timeless island
Far, far away from here
A sanctuary calm and sweet
From before the world began
No traces of the shadow
That clings to mortal Man




(v4)
My simple question now is
Will you come away with me
Is there some way I can help
To set your spirit free
Will you stay close as I lead you
Far beyond all that you know
To touch the gods and sense their love
That follows where well go

Bridge
We can leave the killing fields behind us
Dwell where no one else will find us
We can leave the killing fields behind us
Dwell where no one else will ever find us

Instrumental

Chorus
The fall of Man, the end of Time
Earthly kings felled in their prime
I was there, I saw it all
The savage writing on the wall
Then I grew so weary of the fight
I chose to soar into the light

Outro/Tag
My simple question now is
Will you come away with me
Is there some way I can help
To set your spirit free
