The Dear Hunter - A Beginning Lyrics

"A Beginning"

The silence dominates divining resolutions from my hands
Lights drawn in the sand

But my volition's wry
My temperance twisted, faced with failing light
Nothing in my sight

If I fall into the ocean,
Send my soul into the sea,
Will these reflections trouble me?
Will I dream a final dream?

I sense this silhouette who's standing vigil growing very sore
Just one moment more

Before I close the curtain; fate uncertain; spirit to the dark;
Endlessly apart

Can I fall into the ocean?
Send my soul into the sea,
No distant echoes haunting me
No further phantoms will I see
This silence held eternally

But what if the silence is broken by the ones you've loved?
Incredibly pleasant, with a heavenly breath to wake you up
With nothing left to poison a portrait of who I've become
Only elation remains, protecting us from this never ending night

Dear apparition, while my senses last,
Is absolution far too much to ask?
Will you forgive a truly troubled past?

The silver lining still remains,
The sights I've left to see
So trust that with this end,
A new beginning's waiting patiently.
