I can see you through the lonely sky
As I begin my last journey
I can hear you through the silent clouds
And the swishing willow tears
I can feel you, your unblinking eye
My voice sinking to a whisper
I can smell you on the wings of fear
I sense you drawing near

Now I know why you came here
Now I know why I came here

I escape (I escape) , I escape (I escape) from your world
Sail away (sail away) , sail away (sail away) to destiny

Shadow ferryman pulling at the oars
And I swill down bitter water
To the sun I wave a last farewell
I expire, I leave no trace
My life dances truths I could not face
In the mist amid the sorrows
In the river that is without joy
My faults, they will dissolve

Now I know why you came here
Now I know why I came here

I escape (I escape) , I escape (I escape) from your world
As the air (as the air) echoes all (echoes all) that you told me
I'm alive (I'm alive) , I'm alive (I'm alive) in your heart
Sail away (sail away) , sail away (sail away) to destiny
