Against The River Flow

You’re like Saturn’s rings surrounding me
You’re the clouds that swirl and form the velvet sky
In our part of space, you are heavens gates
To the endless sea across eternal night

In our world so strange, minds are empty
We all gravitate to the ghost that never was
A recurring dream with the ancient queen
All her secrets lay in the mysteries of time

At heaven’s gates and no one waits
It’s too far away for everyone
As you speak the words, we all anticipate
But we live in the shadows
Gone are the days of miracles, against the river flow

In a time before, when the Sun and rain
Was the life and blood of the children of the world
And I heard the voice of the master face
As you free the names of everyone that falls

At heaven’s gates and no one waits
It’s too far away for everyone
As you speak the words, we all anticipate
But we live in the shadows
Gone are the days of miracles, against the river flow

Walking through the echoes of a distant sound
The gates are locked, no one’s coming down
Could be the journey’s the answer, not the place
We’re all just travelers in this endless race

At heaven’s gates and no one waits
It’s too far away for everyone
As you speak the words, we all anticipate
But we live in the shadows
Gone are the days of miracles, against the river flow

Where the river’s cold and the winds don’t know
Leaving no footprint, fade into the echoes
