lyrics
"All fears that outnumbered dunes of endless deserts now
seem smaller than the grains that made them.
I've earned the rank but defected instead,
amused by the crumbling, plagiarized worlds.
These oases - green walls are a comforting lie.
They won't last forever; it is just a matter of time.
I need not fall asleep, for all these dreams of mine
are already painted turned gold and Argentine.
True anthem is calling to the western red sky.
No matter the foe I still hold the line."
And when you hear a lark above the Capitol Park,
you'll know I'm in that dark wearing the sign of Saint Mark.
If you decide to stay by my side,
I will protect you when those waves collide.
But if you decide to pursue the western red sky,
please convey my good-bye to Kim Morning Star.
"There's only one thing I can tell you, my dear friend,
wherever the winds take me, my heart's still gold and blood-red.
Storms have passed, taking light, leaving us in a peaceful night,
guided by the Moon and stars. I have wandered way too far.
When I land it will start the end of the life that we have dreamt of.
I'll reach those shores all on my own."
