lyrics

I don't know if I was born this way,
if I was kissed by the lips of a god,
but one night I closed my eyes
and they opened to the worlds beyond.

I'm a visitor to countless places.
Come across things you cannot conceive.
Seen a million different heavens and hells,
full of souls too afraid to leave.

Everywhere I go I see
prisoners of their own beliefs.
All refusing to be free.

I'm sailing out on the silver line,
falling through the fabric of time.
When I'm lost, to find my way
I step into the void, and slip away.

After all of this I know
that death is not the end,
but I'm far from ready to go there yet
because this is where my work begins.

And if you find yourself trapped in
eternal hopelessness,
I can show you which way to go to get out,
but you've got to do the rest.

All the gods to which you pray,
illusions keeping truth at bay.
Tricks of the mind at play.

Sailing out on the silver line,
falling through the fabric of time.
Never lost, I know the way.
I slide into the void, and slip away.

Sailing out on the silver line,
falling through the fabric of time.
When you're lost, to find your way,
break the illusions keeping truth at bay.
Dive into the void and drift away.
