High Sky

I couldn't have dreamt to be here The sight is subalpine and clear The mountains, the sky, the sunlight It couldn't have happened before I'm eager to breathe so much more And I never saw you happy Until now, I thought I'm alive I didn't know, until now, that a part of me Has been stranded alone in the shadows Reaching for the sky Never felt so easy Deep blue close and high Makes me wild and dizzy Post-hell you and I On a front porch to heaven Where winds and eagles fly A valley of hopes at our feet Dark forests with wild beasts to meet Long rivers and lakes, and meadows You wonder how long will it take And I know how much is at stake Which one of us has to blaze it? Down the slopes, into the divine Soaring free for a while till we find our ground In the wheat fields, golden and sunlit Reaching for the sky Never felt so easy Deep blue close and high Makes me wild and dizzy Post-hell you and I On a front porch to heaven Where winds and eagles fly I was crawling, and running away from the darkness I bore the brunt of the pain, And betrayal and fighting, so much I know I'm enamored with violence and being heartless And blissfully numb to maintain Every muscle and unbroken bone For us to survive Into the deep blue abyss Off the slopes of our hopes Are you willing to fly with me? Would you take such a leap of faith In a free fall to find our fate Are you ready to soar with me? I can't force you to follow my lead 'cause I love you You're the sacred potential You're Sammuramat of a future that's all-new I can only, I can only promise to shoulder The sweat and the tears, and the blood It will take to deliver your shining light Far beyond what meets the eye Far beyond what meets the eye Far beyond what meets the eye we fly We fly We fly Don't look down! But I know there are sharp rocks below Biting through ice and sleet and through the virgin snow Don't look down! But I know there are tall mighty pines That shoot up like spears and can claim our lives Don't look down! It's hard to fly and breathe A hundred bears are waiting to devour us underneath Don't look down! Snow leopards chase our shadow down below And the raven told the wolves we're coming all alone Don't look down! The mighty tiger caught our scent He patiently waits and lurks as we descend Don't look down! I can't go back, I cannot turn around They'll rip us both to shreds once we've landed on the ground Fear not the beasts that roam this land They're not a threat, nor they an enemy You have to try to understand They can be friends who will set us free The real monsters that remain unseen Will fight us til the bitter end You'll have to kill, prepare to win It's high time to transcend Here I go Neglect and pain Come hand in hand Waiting in vain Beware! My angry wolves are ripping your face to strands Behind the mask An ugly grin of fear The pleaser's lust Comes through the wounds clawed by leopard and bear Anguish and shame Worthless and scared little child Put down and drained Behold the tigers pouring in to fight on my side Tentacles, guilt For having needs Knocked me off my feet But my ravens tear you down and kill your poisonous seeds My sun, my light, what a delight Sammuramat, we have survived! My girl, my girl, oh what a fight! My girl, my girl, are you alive? Are you alive? I fall in love again Yeah! Weeping to the skies Never felt so bitter Deep blue close and high Looking in the mirror Post-hell you and I On a front porch to heaven Where winds and eagles fly Take me to the skies Take my shell, my vessel I know I should die But you have to wrestle Gazing through my eyes We are down in a valley To meet our first sunrise Bears step gently in the shade again And the tigers let us into their domain Snow leopards came to guard the rear And the wolves lead the way, they're somewhere near Wise ravens carry forth our memories Owls gaze through veils of time at our enemies Tall pines and oaks tower, rivers flow High mountain eagles are in the know We're one again! We're one again! My sun, my light, what a delight Sammuramat, we have survived! My girl, my girl, oh what a fight! My girl, my girl, we are alive! We're one again! My sun, my light, what a delight We're one again! Sammuramat, we have survived! We're one again! My girl, my girl, oh what a fight! We're one again! My girl, my girl, we are alive! We're one again!
