Anabasis Lyrics

My soul became a bridge to cross
The River of Hatred and the River of Pain
To breathe warmth to the flesh turned dust
The question's not How, it's How far would I go
The question's not Why, it's Why should I even question...

The world is at my feet at last
The ashes of memories of youth in my mouth
Your secret is safe, I'm running the show
You'll eat from this apple because He said No

I am the Light in the Night
I bring the gift of Free Will
I put the Fire in your hand
Made you proud to be alive
And to never feel shame

The sin to enjoy life and more...
I gave you the Science to disect your own soul
I gave you the Knowledge to laugh at the joke

The sum of every part is you
He gave you no wings 'cause His are the heavens
I taught you to dream so you are my Son

I am the Light in the Night
I bring the gift of Free Will
I put the Fire in your hand
Made you proud to be alive
And to never feel shame
