Eyes to Heaven - Downpresser

Shadows falling farther

Skies are turning red

Days are getting shorter

Hanging by a thread

Making up the ending

A story you’ll never tell

Around the edges bending

Pretending all is well

Eyes to heaven

Ear to the ground

Salvation severing

Flesh no longer bound

Years move on and upward

Leaving us behind

Nothing left to wonder

Nothing to cross your mind

Don’t be afraid, my brother

For I’ll be right along

In the name of the father

Into the great beyond

Eyes to heaven

Ear to the ground

Salvation severing

Flesh no longer bound

A storm not made to weather

The vessel tossed aside

An ocean given center

Ever immortalized

With an eye to heaven

And one on the horizon

I’ll keep watch for you

Until the sun has set

I’ll keep a fire burning

Until I pay my debt
