about

It's about my favorite book and place, Perelandra

lyrics

i hurt for the copper sky, and i long for the warm breeze
the islands moving with the waves like lovers in the sea
to be there in her warmth, to be a part of her embrace
to ride the backs across the water and watch the others race
to see the Lady with her King in all their majesty

i'd give my life
to spend a day
i'd give my life
it was not for nothing i was called to hear these words
the silence of this world diminished with each one i heard
but the whispers in her heart are all i'd ever need to live
to be there when the night becomes to dark to see your way
to wake up to the colors of a dream put on display
to see where i was meant to be and finally understand

i gave my life
i'll spend a day
i gave my life

where Arthur waits in solemn patience
life resolves in glorious cadence
my eyes have seen
my soul shall see
