Lyrics to On The Shore Of Life [Full Album 2021] by Galaxy

Tracklist: 01. Bright Stars On the shoreline, waves rolling against the rocks The endless rhythm of a breathing world Sun abiding in its firmamental home We stand here And the bright stars pierce the dark sky Which way are we travelling? Out to sea or inward across the fields? Only two directions on a straight line We stand here And the bright stars pierce the dark sky Our hearts in the void In the shadow of the dune we wait Is the sun rising? Or is the world falling? We stand here And the bright stars pierce the dark sky 02. Valentine From the first point, in the depths of your heart Comes the wind of love, the seed of evil things An ancient force of darkness, it waits and slowly crawls Until the time is ripe She will materialise and personalize your agonising lust The first time I saw her, centuries ago Our eyes were locked in the prison where I remain Valentine, in blood I sign This letter to you, written on the wind Though my flesh walks free, my heart and mind still linger In that moment long ago, the first point It’s a moment that exists for all of us It cuts through the heart of all who walk the Earth Valentine, in blood I sign This letter to you, written on the wind It’s a moment that exists for all of us It cuts through the heart of all who walk the Earth We take a hand, we steal a kiss And we embrace like it is the end But the end does not arrive And the water flows on where the river bends Not where you want it to go My heart, forever yours 03. Gemini Gemini Asleep on one side, the other awakes Resumes his travels, another day Here we can see, not twins as such Two different lives in one mind A sailor could see, St Elmo at night A sign of good tiding ahead Gemini But the other inside, waiting silent Has plans of his own, clandestine In reflections, he has seen the replacement Taking the hand of his own girl He walks the same road, sleeps in the same bed Effortlessly usurping his life Gemini Torn is the man, now in two spheres Into spheres of chaos he goes He must confront this impostor Knowing inherently, like everything in life There’s only two outcomes, and he cries: “Sleep has left me The deadliest terror sits by me At all hours of the day and night” Shadow and light, must be coalesced Or balance will never be struck Separation is madness, oneness is key Remember the Lady of Shadows, and Tyler and Xander They know Gemini 04. Daughter In The Distance In this world, I never found love No one to share the journey with Now I’m an old man, there's no one to carry my name But these visions, tell a different fate Do you hear me? Daughter in the distance A life unknown My daughter We live in different worlds, you cannot understand Only a thinny keeps us apart Now you are older, wondering where I am Knowing, but never sure, where you come from It’s true that my blood flows on in you You have the will, be strong my girl Do you hear me? Daughter in the distance A life unknown My daughter We live in different worlds, you cannot understand Only a thinny keeps us apart Daughter in the distance We live in different worlds, you cannot understand You have the will, be strong my girl 05. Bargaining Like a normal man, he did not expect this What was took from him, just too much to bear No one counts on seeing the darkness beyond No one counts on the terrifying chance Hearing is now in session Make your case, state your claim If only I had known then what I know now Just give me one chance to turn it all back Bargaining He seeks to negotiate, for the return of a dear life The price he does pledge to pay, silver and gold no object He swears it will be different this time Do you really think it is that simple? What you offer is nothing to me If only I had known then, what I know now Just give me one chance to turn it all back Bargaining All vice and sin he will surrender His soul is forfeit and void Bargaining 06. Firelight Palaver A young man, cold and worn from travel Takes respite in a forest clearing He builds a fire and settles in A place of peace for a night’s rest From the shadows, an old man appears They begin to talk, amid the glow and crackle The old man asks what troubles the young man’s mind Here tonight, palaver by firelight In the march of time, I am limping and falling behind My largest possession is a dearth of purpose I only wish to be cradled In the cold of the dirt Free from the horror of Samsara Here tonight, palaver by firelight I have travelled far and wide across this world and others I won’t soothsay or give you hope, for none exists But I can tell you that all you’ll ever want or be You already have and are The old man’s form and visage flickers, fades in the dark Who is this that abides before me? Are you god? Are you my father? Are you my future self? I am all these and none Though little difference it makes The oneness of all things Crushes the ego, and destroys the delusion of time 07. On The Shore Of Life For Jimbo and all the Brogans I stand here, on the shore of life Waiting for the next chapter I see countless who came before me Sailing the ocean yonder And those who will come after me, travelling the land afar It’s cold and daunting, but still and serene I am not afraid 08. We Enter The Door Of Death Alone From an early age, we see the world as it is Blue sky and green fields, tall mountains and the rivers flow Simple things and certainties and it all is very pure Keep a watchful eye on strangers, stay close to your family When the moment comes and it surely will No matter how many friends at your side Solitary travellers Isolated wanderers We enter the door of death alone The older we grow, the water ain’t so clear The fog shrouds all that you see, simplicity; forgotten luxury Endless ways to walk astray Myriad ways in which you could pay The price for holding on too long, or letting go too soon When the moment comes and it surely will No matter how many friends at your side Solitary travellers Isolated wanderers We enter the door of death alone Not afraid of death, terrified of dying We are lambs to the cosmic slaughter Not protagonist, nor chosen When the moment comes and it surely will No matter how many friends at your side Solitary travellers Isolated wanderers We enter the door of death alone
