southern empire - face the dawn lyrics

[i. soar with me now]
[verse 1: shaun holton]
hearts beat ever faster
as i look at what’s before me
as the fog clears from my mind
i’m like a ghost in purgatory

[pre+chorus: shaun holton]
suspended in the air, takes my breath away
nothing left for me to lose, can’t seem to find another way
it seems the whole d+mn world is waiting for my fall
hours of endless isolation, frozen to the core

[verse 2: shaun holton]
and now the time has come
for me to face my final call
the first act of my ascension
will it lead to my downfall?

[pre+chorus: shaun holton]
there’s something in the air that calls to my disgrace
what have i left to losе but failures cold embrace?
i havе no other choice, my course has been long set
this mountain is a soulless sp+ce, a place i won’t forget

[chorus: shaun holton]
soar with me now and
ride with me upon the edges
all that fate allows is
climbing down the ledges
[verse 3: shaun holton]
this is where i feel alive
calling to me now
risking everything i know
it speaks to me somehow

[pre+chorus: shaun holton]
i could climb the highest peak and navigate my soul
and all imaginary forces would bow to my control
and though the summit’s far i can almost see the prize
inching ever closer now, my spirit starts to rise

[chorus: shaun holton]
soar with me now and
ride with me upon the edges
all that fate allows is
climbing down below the ledges
soar with me now and
ride with me upon the edges
all that fate allows is
climbing down below the ledges

[ii. silver into gold]
[verse 4: shaun holton and cam blokland]
falling’s just another way to fly
a truce with dawn beneath the aching sky
no up nor down, no walls or fences
i finally opened up my senses
all the while i am suspended free
i drop my guard, that’s how it ended me
it’s slowest motion lasts forever
winding downward, flows the river
[chorus: shaun holton]
the fading spark of light grows cold
then turns the silver into gold

[verse 5: shaun holton and cam blokland]
every action turns to treasure there
the learning, wisdom, truth and pleasure fair
isolated, lonely yearning
i raise my hands, there’s no returning
kings have fought and died for glory
they live remembered in their story
alchemy or clever wonder
a burst of heaven, shaking thunder

[chorus: shaun holton]
the fading spark of light grows cold
then turns the silver into gold

[interlude]
“help, i can’t hold on”
“courage, come on, i’m out of practice, you must go on without me”
“i’m sorry, it was my life’s ambition”
“you climb it, thats all that matters”
“i’ll do my best”
“good luck”
[iii. deep within]

[verse 6: shaun holton]
by far the grandest of the special temples of the natural
i was ever blessed to enter
inaccessible to mortal beings never trodden
by unworthy souls without spirit or adventure

[chorus: shaun holton]
heroes forged from deep within the rock
who were conquerors, who overcame?
rites of passage where none should exist
best intentions put our dreams to shame

[verse 7: shaun holton]
the place where i can come to practice my obsession
constantly conjures another dream
always harder than it seems and looks can be deceiving
dangerous, it reigns supreme

[chorus: shaun holton]
heroes forged from deep within the rock
who were conquerors, who overcame?
rites of passage where none should exist
best intentions put our dreams to shame

[iv. soar with me now (reprise)]

[verse 8: shaun holton]
i could climb the highest peak and navigate my soul
and all imaginary forces would bow to my control
and though the summit’s far i can almost see the prize
inching ever closer now, my spirit starts to rise
