Beyond the Horizon

The silence is whispering to me

In voices only I hear

Of memories I wish to live once more

Memories I hold most dear

In the light of dying fires

Divine beyond what I'm allowed

I glimpse the spurs of runaway sighs

Before they flicker out

And I long to sleep eternally

Peaceful in my release

Free me at last of my promise to stay

I long to go beyond

Beyond the horizon

I'll follow where love has gone

Twilight finds me here alone

Beyond the horizon

I see your love shining, oh

My ghostlight, my afterglow

My light, my sole surviving friend

As darkness still huddles near

Flirting with my weary soul

Of age beyond my years

My wishes flow in rivulets

Scarlet in the night

In pools of staring emptiness

Drowning in the tide

And I long to sleep eternally

Peaceful in my release

Free me at last of my promise to stay

I long to go beyond

Beyond the horizon

I'll follow where love has gone

Twilight finds me here alone

Beyond the horizon

I see your love shining, oh

My ghostlight, my afterglow

Beyond the horizon

I'll follow where love has gone

Twilight finds me here alone

Beyond the horizon

I see your love shining, oh

My ghostlight, my afterglow

There are those who have become lost in the darkness

And found hope

Those who have surrendered to the fires of tribulation

And been reborn

Those who can illuminate the history of our time to come

We call them "ghostlights"
