Ad Astra Per Aspera Lyrics by Atombender

Wait of the World

2012

[Verse 1]
I've been running for miles, I've run for days
I've been here before, I know I've seen this place
And I can't see the forest for the trees surrounding
I can't comprehend how they could end for me
[Verse 2]
I have no directions but I want out
Each wind could blow me over with the weight of my doubt
Poor of heart and lacking in the things I should have known
I've heard the ache that says "You've made yourself alone"
[Pre-Chorus]
No searchlights
No ravens
No sirens singing siren songs
I still can't hear the voice of providеnce
[Verse 3]
A darkness hangs over my hеad
Do you remember when life was simpler, was brighter?
There is a raincloud and it's hanging overhead
Do you remember when the skies were clearer?
My eyes are open but I can't see anything
Do you remember when the sun shone brighter?
I always thought the brightest lights blinded
But tonight I'm rendered blind by the dark
[Chorus 2]
My body's aching
So close to giving up on trying
Fears and follies
Measured by our own device
If someone's out there
I'm sorry that I'm still so sightless
So take me by the hand and lead me home
[Verse 4]
It was easy to think I have to find my way
I forgot your grace (if blessed be the weak)
And I fell to my knees, nothing left in me
The roaring winds carried my prayers around and away
I knew somehow that you were listening
And I remembered what lies just past this darkness
Because I believed, you took everything
The scales fell and I could see the stars
[Chorus 3]
My body's aching
So close to giving up on trying
Fears and follies
Measured by our own devices
If someone's out there
I'm sorry that I'm still so sightless
So take me by the hand and lead me home
[Chorus 4]
We will take back
Everything we've lost in fighting
Hills and valleys
We will make it back to glory
I know you're out there
And I'm sorry that I'm still so sightless
Take me by the hand and lead me home
Lead me home
[Bridge]
I will find my way if I follow the brightest star!
[Outro]
You are the constellations
You are the hope for everyone
You are the song
You are the constellations
You are the hope for everyone
You are the song we sing
The song that's always been sung
You are the song that always was and is and is to come
You are!
[Elision]
Take us by the hands and lead us home
We were once broken, you made us whole
