Lyrics Sieges Even

Sieges Even

Paramount

The air is steam and fire

A lift-off to negate defeat

A victory imperfect, there's always more

It's all we've ever longed to reach

And all we've ever longed to see

Someday, somewhere

On a highway to the sun

With marvelled eyes, with blinded eyes we'll watch

The holocaust of our wildest dreams

From here to nowhere (nowhere, nowhere)

From there to somewhere (somewhere, somewhere)

From the seas to the highest heights

From the moon to the lowest lows

From a spark to a raging fire

From the heart to the sateless mind

Stunned and amazed by what we are

We celebrate and name the stars

Expand, aspire, don't look ahead

The more we grow the less we see

The less we see the more we'll find

The light that blinds is darkness to our eyes

Through a telescope I dream

A summit in the sky blue snow

I'll carve my name into withered stone

It's all I've ever longed to do

And all I've ever longed to feel

I'd burn the midnight oil to get there

If I could only reach you now

If I could only name you now

The blind spot on a yellowed map

Stunned and amazed by what I am

To feel alive in some lonesome luck

Explore, desire, don't look ahead

The higher I go the less I see

The deeper it hurts the less I feel

And the heart of the matter is hardly to perceive

From here to nowhere (nowhere, nowhere)

From there to somewhere (somewhere, somewhere)

From the seas to the highest heights

From the moon to the lowest lows

From cult to culture, from ape to man

From the hand to the hungry mouth
