The Departure

came back to life

Naked and tied to the floor

In the corner of my eyes

I saw them coming through the door



All is black

All is white

I open my eyes and faced the airport lights



[Chorus]

I stared into the eyes of eternity

I've seen what no man's ever seen

I stared into the eyes of eternity

I've been where no man's ever been



I cannot move

Behind myself is a spark

I pray on myself of who I left behind



And as I look around

I realize I'm all alone

The dark so wide so wasted

It chills me to the bone



Suddenly arising up in the air

My mind was burning

The bodies that they spare



I said farewell to the bodies their stealing



All is black

All is white

I open my eyes and face the airport lights



[Chorus]

I stared into the eyes of eternity

I've seen what no man's ever seen

I stared into the eyes of eternity

I've been where no man's ever been



Always setting us free

I'll fit right back into the dream

But something here just keeps me awake



And I'm cut wide open

Maybe they search for my soul

This is more than a human can take



And don't tell me I'm dreaming

I know what I saw

I'll feel alive like I've never before



[Chorus 2x]

I stared into the eyes of eternity

I've seen what no man's ever seen

I stared into the eyes of eternity

I've been where no man's ever been
