lyrics

AS I DRIFT ON AN OCEAN TOWARDS A DISTANT SHORE

See beyond the haze and be
one with the universe, the one beside me
Casting off shackles that bound me to this Earth
Can’t deny the heartache of leaving
those who made my life worth living
But as all shall fade, so will I

As I drift on an ocean vast and wide
towards a distant shore beyond the horizon
Through the darkness, a piercing white light
A beacon amongst the belt of Orion
Navigate across the treacherous waves

Here I am, the ghost in your photograph
The hidden shadow of your better half
A trick of light, an echo in time
I know dying is like falling asleep
Slowly sliding into the darkened deep
I see the shore ahead. Can you see it too?

As I drift on an ocean vast and wide
towards a distant shore beyond the horizon
Through the darkness, a piercing white light
A beacon amongst the belt of Orion
Navigate across the treacherous seas

Like so many before me
Slowly drifting away
The peace overwhelms me
The ocean takes me away

Zeta, Epsilon, Delta
I’m coming home
