The Departure - Epicurean

Behind these eyes, fearful of failure

Depart towards a new world to find her

And stand before her like a god on high

With my arms wide

And I will shift the tides at my willing

T step through the fire

My world defined, who I’ve become

Yet I cannot allow the distance before me

To have me completely

These could be the last words I speak

But all that matters is that you hear me

When I scream, call out your name

As I depart from this place

Our time will come, when our world’s undone

To all divine, it’s in the tides

In focus, I can see for miles, though our lives divide

Though you and I are not the same in time

With the tides we both can change

I have dreamt of this day, I just wish I could stay

In the wake of the day and remain unchanged

If I cross the distant divide, light the way over me

Though hopeless I won’t refrain from the course

The tides are shifting in my favor

And all that lies before me is clear

Give me the strength for the journey, carry on towards

I’ll walk that line until the end of time

Until I stand beside you, Anna

Through these darkest days that last forever

I will suffer by your side

Though you and I are not the same in time

With the tides we both can change

I have dreamt of this day, I just wish I could stay

In the wake of the day and remain unchanged
