richard orpheus campbell - beyond the night lyrics

[verse 1]
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]
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 rеach
beyond the night
[verse 2]
it’s growing colder by thе 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]
there is something at work inside me
that i don’t understand
but i shall k!ll no albatross
to reach uncharted land

[chorus]
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]
vast irregular plains of ice
have paralysed our motion
we’re left idle as a painted ship
upon a painted ocean

but what is this apparition
we glimpse amidst the fog?
a gigantic figure in the image of man
striding northward through the endless snow

[break]

[pre+chorus]
night closes in the ice breaks up
but alas the creature is gone
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]
a new day dawns and the turning tide
delivers to me a companion
this morning we rescued a man from the waves
from the very brink of destruction
his limbs were frozen and his body was starved
but despite his wretched condition
his eyes were alive with a chaos inside
and he spoke to us of his mission

he seeks the creature that we glimpsed last night
a vile abomination
he’ll rest in peace when he meets the beast
a curse of his own creation

in his voice i hear the echoes
of my own determination
but when i share with him my dream
he’s gripped by desperation
“unhappy man,” he says to me
“do you share my madness?
you’re seeking knowledge as i once did
but it will only bring you sadness
you’re thirsty for discovery
a most addictive ale
but you will dash the cup from your lips
when i reveal my tale”
