Through Within To Beyond

There are strange signs in the air tonight

The walls creep close

Surrounded by liquid shapes and shadows

The minstrel is convincing tonight

To me and to the forms that fly

Invisible below the ceiling

Covered in layer upon layer of memories

I know I can't silence the screaming

But not even that can trouble me right now

I feel a sudden warmth, I'm outside time and tears

A strange place where I can laugh at my fears

Knowing that the spirits are

Just outside the field of my view

Protecting me

Showing me a world that is not yet totally desolate

There is more to my soul than to my eyes

I am strong, like the eagle I'll rise

I will seek high and low, quest for quest's sake

I will shape my own path to travel for evermore

Through within to beyond

I feel a sudden warmth, I'm outside time and tears

A strange place where I can laugh at my fears

And if right now I would lay my life

In a brother's hand

Then perchance one day

I could lay it in the hand of she

Who dances on the hill

Tomorrow may still come

I will reach for the hot core that I've felt still

living

There is more on the inside

Maybe even a little to share

And maybe even for the Wanderer there'll be

A homely fireside before the world is bare

There is more to my soul than to my eyes

I am strong, like the eagle I'll rise

I will seek high and low, quest for quest's sake

I will shape my own path to travel for evermore

...To my soul than to my eyes

I am strong, like the eagle I'll rise

I will seek high and low, quest for quest's sake

I will shape my own path to travel

To trave.... to travel for evermore

Through within to beyond
