richard orpheus campbell - beyond the night (live) lyrics

[verse 1: walton]
my journey north has just begun
and an undiscovered world awaits me
a magnetic force is attracting me
like a needle across the sea
i try in vain to imagine it
as a place of frost and desolation
but it presents itself to me
as an irresistible destination

[pre+chorus]
there is something at work in my soul
that i don’t understand
but i shall k!ll no albatross
to reach uncharted land

[chorus: walton & jacob & florence]
chasing the horizon
across the frozen sea
unwavering ambition
driving me on until
i sail beneath the sunset
to a land of eternal light
i’ll be the first to reach
beyond the night
[verse 2: walton]
it’s growing colder by the day
and the isolation overwhelms me
for i have no friend who shares my dream
or envisages the wonders i see
when blizzards blind and deafen me
in my heart i picture my goal
when thirst and hunger challenge me
a determination feeds my soul

[pre+chorus: jacob & florence]
there is something at work inside him
that we don’t understand
but we shall k!ll no albatross
to reach uncharted land

[chorus: walton & jacob & florence]
chasing the horizon
across the frozen sea
unwavering ambition
driving me on until
i sail beneath the sunset
to a land of eternal light
i’ll be the first to reach
beyond the night
[bridge: jacob & florence]
vast irregular plains of ice
have paralysed our motion
we’re left idle as a painted ship
upon a painted ocean

[walton]
but what is this apparition
we glimpse amidst the fog?

[jacob & florence]
a gigantic figure in the image of man
striding northward through the endless snow

[instrumental break]

[pre+chorus]
night closes in the ice breaks up
but alas the creature is gone

[walton]
this mystery it troubles me
but still i journey on

[chorus]
chasing the horizon
across the frozen sea
unwavering ambition
driving me on until
i sail beneath the sunset
into the land of eternal light
i know i’ll be the first to reach
beyond the night
[outro: jacob]
captain please, can we intervene?
there’s something needs your attention:
the crew have rescued a man from the waves
from the very brink of destruction
his limbs are frozen and his body is starved
but despite his wretched condition
his eyes are alive with a chaos inside
and he speaks to us of a mission
he seeks the creature that we glimpsed last night

[jacob & victor]
a vile abomination

[jacob]
he’ll rest in peace when he meets the beast

[victor]
a curse of my own creation

[walton]
in your voice i hear the echoes
of my own determination
it seems you share with me one thing:
unwavering ambition

[victor]
unhappy man! can you not see
it’s driven me to madness?
you’re seeking knowledge as i once did
but it will only bring you sadness

[walton]
i’m thirsty for discovery

[victor]
a most addictive ale
but you will dash the cup from your lips
when i reveal my tale
