The Dear Hunter - A Beginning lyrics

The silence dominates
Divining resolutions from my hands
Lines drawn in the sand
But my volition's wry, my temperance twisted
Faced with failing light nothing in my sight

If I fall into the ocean
Send my soul into the sea
Will these reflections trouble me? Will
I dream my final dream?

I sensed this silhouette who's standing
Vigil growing very sore just one moment more
Before I close the curtain
Fate uncertain spirit to the dark
Endlessly apart

Can I fall into the ocean
Send my soul into the sea?
No distant echoes haunting me
No further phantoms will I see
This silence held eternally

But what if the silence is broken
By the ones you've loved incredibly present
With a heavenly breath to wake you up
With nothing left to poison
A portrait of who I've become
Only elation remains
Protecting us from this neverending night

Dear apparition, while my senses last
Is absolution far too much to ask?
Will you forgive a truly troubled past?
The silver lining still remains
The sights I've left to see
So trust that with this end
A new beginning's waiting patiently
