Ever Shall We Roam (feat. Charlotte Wessels)

Take a moment in the shade
Embrace the zephyrs passing by
That weather the road you walk
And spirit desires away

Embark the argosy I found
Anchored on idyllic shores
Relentless trade winds course due west
And a tethered hope drowns

It always seemed a tenebrous sky
A fragile peace to base every smile on

Life, give me life
For the price of an early watchful sky
Leave the doubt inside
Ever shall we lie
How we lied
For the price of an honest peaceful day
Leave the past to change
Ever shall we
Ever shall we roam

I don't take pride in experience
I've never listened for dismayed outcries
As signs of life
Signs of life, counted on

I'll fight real hard 'til we meet again
And ride this ruin
'Til surrender's reached the end of the line
Then start again sometime

Plenary trust is no trust at all

Time, give me time
To reply and unravel "This is how"
Hold your shield up high
Ever shall we rise
Shall we rise?
To the plight of a serendipitous wave
Leave it all to change
Ever shall we
Ever shall we roam

Embrace forever
Don't you take this away
These fears you magnify
Their cost is way too high
In the growing fringe silence
An unconditional hope remains

No one's pleas justify
Relent, my Lorelei
Let rest your compound eyes
With a choir of shrill Sirens
Profane the odyssey of your faith

Ever shall we
Ever shall we
Fly, how we'd fly
In this rhadamanthine world
Tempted as you are by these featureless fears
Ever shall we die
How we died
Looking forward into life
Disregarded, new dawns now whisper that was
Some forever
Ever shall we roam
