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"
