From the recording American Alchemy
Lyrics
We’ve been wandering through the valley of the shadow of ourselves
Asking nothing of the darkness we’ve been bound
Immersed in wraith, if just to memorize a shade
Of consecrated meaning that we’ve found
Well I have a friend in the navy
He said the fears of our formers wouldn’t break me
Just be warm enough to hold somebody’s love
And you’ll be born in the ashes of your aging
It happened in a dream that we shared so long ago
The merging of what is and what could be
I must admit it’s quite exciting to be this
Close to the edge of pure infinity
Well I have a friend in the navy
He said the fears of our formers wouldn’t break me
Just be warm enough to hold somebody’s love
And you’ll be born in the ashes of your aging
Much like the bearing of a mountain stream
Or falling leaves whose path is but to be
We’re being summoned by an ancient omen
Always onwards to be freed
Here we are again just like the time we came before
The shifting of the veil upon our eyes
And for the brave or those with nothing left to save
The moment of our meaning has arrived
Well I have a friend in the navy
He said the fears of our formers wouldn’t break me
Just be warm enough to hold somebody’s love
And you’ll be born in the ashes of your aging
