A Silent Arc

A bursting hull This ship torn asunder Remote hearts now too distant To survive another year in slumber Gusts of wind fills my sails I cast off into the twilight red New winds offer strength But I might rest on the ocean bed Our heaven's dead A silent arc A reverie adrift for years Our heaven is dead In solitude I hesitate The dark still blue, threatening The empyrean silence speaks Telling me it's far too late Our heaven's dead A silent arc A reverie adrift for years Our heaven is dead In search for new horizons Sunrise for new horizons I really was defeated at times And yet that's the truth You want love to be mutual Something really awful about showing— Letting anyone know that I'm hurt I feel very real regret that the relationship cannot continue Salvation came with newfound bearing It rescued us from the careless sleep And all these years of silent drifting Comes to an end in a dawning spring Liberation from a perpetual burden I see us disappearing I can feel us dissolving By the grace of a pardon The eclipse yields for the break of day Gusts of wind fills my sails As I cast off into the twilight red New winds offer strength And I might rest on the ocean bed Our heaven's dead A silent arc A reverie adrift for years Our heaven is dead In search for new horizons Our heaven is dead A dawn for new horizons A time for new horizons
