ALEA - Disillusion

It all laid out crystal and wide open

Felt like a new horizon

With one hand in the stars

No wavering to abound

Vigor and belief were rising

All peril faced, lance high towards a glaring sky

Off to a new horizon

And all shades that might have been

Dissolve in breezes on the wane

Headlong!

For this has only just begun

Went to the sea and ran up the hills

Wandered shores and stood still

Swam in lakes and drowned in oceans

Only to find

Came to see that it all laid here

A seed within longing to thrive

Came to hear a whisper in the wind

Die is cast, no wavering

And I weep in the summer wind

Arms wide open ready to dive

And I weep in the summer wind

Arms wide open ready to dive

And the waves took it all astray

All promises that I kept in bay

Let them go, linger here and lay

In wind and sand a faint portrait

And I weep in the summer wind

Arms wide open ready to dive

And I sing in the summer wind

Arms wide open ready to dive
