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 gear I sense you drawing near
Now I know why you came here Now I know why I came here
I escape, I escape from your world I sail away, sail away into 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 from your world As the air echoes all that you told me I'm alive, I'm alive in your heart I sail away, sail away into destiny
