Awakening - Aviators

Sweet beckoning starlight calling my name

A million voices resounding the same

For all of the answers, I’ll leave this behind

To channel my insight with time

Pulled by endless potential unseen

When the horizon’s call intervenes

And I’m not sure where the dark turned into the light

The closing abyss between us

Break from our heritage, to keep our alignment upright

Escape from our own avarice

Awakening in the twilight

The shadow of greatness held over my head

A legacy written of power and dread

Betrayed by a mentor of days long ago

Branded by temptation

The deep undertow

Into spaces unseen

When the horizon’s call intervenes

We’re connected by fate

With our true selves awake

Every step and the road gets longer

Institutions will fade

From the new world we’ve made

When our minds turn to gray, we’re stronger

A touch from the outskirts

A new hope unknown

Our power set equal

No longer alone

Don’t leave me to fight back

The conflicts inside

I need you to save me

From desperate pride
