Across the Flood

I can so taste you in the air

Feeling near your breathing if I dare

I can, I sense you at my edge

Knowing well the making of our pledge

And all of what was said

Before I, I dared to reach across the flood

Your sounds at times are oh so near

Moving in the places that I fear

Incense is burning with your smell

Making me to think that all is well

Yet only time will tell

Now ever since I dared to reach

Across the flood

Across the flood under trampled mud

And now the sun no longer sees me

Across the flood bathed in hero's blood

And now the sun no longer sees me

Reach across, across the flood

Reach across, reach across the flood

Find me there out where I dared to reach you

I can, I sense you at my edge

Knowing well the making of our pledge

And all of what was said

Before I, I dared to reach across the flood
