Sleeping At Last - Overture lyrics

It starts
With our eyes well acquainted with the dark
The mind was made to illuminate the heart
And when every constellation
Suddenly appeared
Through telescopes and calculations
The far was pulled so near

Even after everything we've seen
We've barely caught a glimpse
Of what it means
In the architecture of the soul
The universe began with our eyes closed


We claim our land we tame our seas
We carve our names on the surface of history
'Til our hands get tired
By the stubborn will of gravity

Even after everything we've seen
We've barely caught a glimpse
Of what it means
In the architecture of the soul
The universe began with our eyes closed

In the rise and fall of a newborn's chest
Like the ocean swells
We inhale, exhale and reset
Every living thing
Is in this constant state of unrest

Even after all our history
We've barely caught a glimpse
Of what it means
In the architecture of the soul
The universe began

Even after everything we've seen
We've barely caught a glimpse
Of what it means
In the architecture of the soul
The universe began with our eyes closed
