Panacea and the Prelogue

Wait inside

By the fire and we'll talk a while

I didn't mean to let the years go by

Waiting for love

Have we come to terms

With the lesson that our fathers learned?

Impermanent, it flows away

Everything goes away

I'd follow you, but not this time

So I walk in streets unknown

Our bodies and their silver just a loan

I'm sorry that I let you down, let you down, a lifetime ago

I wanna say to all I leave behind

And to those I'll never find

That I need you to understand, understand, you're not on your own

Hold in mind

What you value, is it worth the time?

The only melodies that I could ever call mine

Were friendship and lust

Will I feel absolved

At the moment when we have it solved?

A panacea for the absent soul

Still it's never enough

I'd follow you, but not this time

So I walk in streets unknown

Our bodies and their silver just a loan

I'm sorry that I let you down, let you down, a lifetime ago

I wanna say to all I leave behind

And to those I'll never find

That I need you to understand, understand, you're not on your own

For the art

I will sing most anything

We are worlds apart

I can do it all

Lines fade out, but you illuminate

The path back home, the path you've shown me

As lines fade out, you will illuminate

And lead a way back home

Lines fade out

For the art

I will sing most anything

We are worlds apart

I can do it all
