The Fountain of Lamneth

Lyrics

[𝐈. 𝐈𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐲 00:00-04:18] [Intro] I am born I am me I am new I am free Look at me I am young Sight unseen Life unsung... [Verse 1] My eyes have just been opened And they're open very wide Images around me Don't identify inside Just one blur I recognize The one that soothes and feeds My way of life is easy And as simple are my needs [Chorus] 'Yet my eyes are drawn toward The mountain in the east Fascinates and captivates Gives my heart no peace The mountain holds the sunrise In the prison of the night Until bursting forth from rocky chains The valley floods with light' [Verse 2] Living one long sunrise For to me all things are new I've never watched the sky grow pale Or strolled through fields of dew I do not know of dust to dust I live from breath to breath I live to climb that mountain To the Fountain of Lamneth [Chorus] 'Yet my eyes are drawn toward The mountain in the east Fascinates and captivates Gives my heart no peace The mountain holds the sunrise In the prison of the night Until bursting forth from rocky chains The valley floods with light' [𝐈𝐈. 𝐃𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐍𝐚𝐫𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐬 04:18-05:18] (𝘜𝘯𝘰𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘭𝘺𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘭𝘶𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘣𝘶𝘮 𝘭𝘺𝘳𝘪𝘤 𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘦𝘵) [Drum Solo] [Verse 3] '(Stay!) Go! (Work!) No! (Think!) Live! (Earn!) Give! (Wait!) Fight! (Laugh!) Right! [Outro] Listen!' [𝐈𝐈𝐈. 𝐍𝐨 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐠𝐞 05:18-09:39] [Verse 4] Crying back to consciousness The coldness grips my skin The sky is pitching violently Drawn by shrieking winds Seaspray blurs my vision Waves roll by so fast Save my ship of freedom I'm lashed helpless to the mast [Verse 5] Remembering when first I held The wheel in my own hands I took the helm so eagerly And sailed for distant lands But now the sea's too heavy And I just... I just don't understand Why must my crew desert me? When I need... I need a guiding hand [Bridge] Call out for direction And there's no one there to steer Shout out for salvation But there's no one there to hear Cry out supplication For the maelstrom is near Scream out desperation But no one cares to hear [Instrumental Break] [Guitar Solo] [Outro] *Seagull sounds* [𝐈𝐕. 𝐏𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐚 09:39-12:55] [Verse 6] The whiteness of confusion Is unfolding from my mind I stare around in wonder Have I left my life behind? [Pre-Chorus] I catch the scent of ambergris And turn my head, surprised My gaze is caught and held And I am helpless, mesmerized [Chorus] 'Panacea ~ liquid grace Oh let me touch your fragile face Enchantment falls around me And I know I cannot leave' [Verse 7] Here's a meaning for my life A shelter from the storm Pacify my troubles with Her body, soft and warm Naked in our unity A smile for every tear Gentle hands that promise me Comfort through the years [Pre-Chorus] Yet I know I must be gone Before the light of dawn [Chorus] 'Panacea ~ passion pure I can't resist your gentle lure My heart will lie beside you And my wandering body grieves' [𝐕. 𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐡𝐮𝐬 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐮 12:55-16:10] [Verse 8] Another endless day Silhouettes of grey Another glass of wine Drink with eyes that shine Today's without that chill at morning Long night's time out of mind [Chorus] 'Draw another goblet From the cask of '43 Crimson misty memory Hazy glimpse of me Give me back my wonder ~ I've something more to give I guess it doesn't matter ~ There's not much more to Not much more to live' [Verse 9] Another foggy dawn The mountain almost gone Another doubtful fear The road is not so clear My soul grows ever weary... And the end is ever near [Chorus] 'Draw another goblet From the cask of '43 Crimson misty memory Hazy glimpse of me Give me back my wonder ~ I've something more to give I guess it doesn't matter ~ There's not much more to Not much more to live' [Guitar Solo] [𝐕𝐈. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧 16:10-19:57] [Verse 10] Look... the mist is rising And the sun is peaking through See the steps grow lighter As I reach their final few Hear the dancing waters I must be drawing near Feel, my heart is pounding With embattled hope and fear [Interlude] 'Now, at last I fall before The Fountain of Lamneth I thought I would be singing But I'm tired... out of breath Many journeys end here But, the secret's told the same Life is just a candle and a dream Must give it flame' [Verse 11] The key, the end, the answer Stripped of their disguise Still it's all confusion And tears spring to my eyes Though I've reached a signpost It's really not the end Like Old Sol' behind the mountain I'll be coming up again... [Interlude] [Guitar Solo] [Outro] I'm in motion I am still I am crying I am... still I'm together I'm apart I'm forever At the start And still... I am
