Lyrics

 * A drifting tender
 * Come ride, heroes, ride
 * Her galleon severed
 * Away with the tide


 * The storm heads gather
 * Come ride, heroes, ride
 * Illusions scattered
 * Away with the tide


 * Why
 * Do weathered warriors wander their way whither wanting wonders wait.
 * Hark the heralds, anchors aweigh! Hither happens mine escape.
 * Freedom forgone, sinking apace. Comets crumble, Phoebus fades.
 * Under cosmic clamor decayed, hides a path untaken.


 * Ancient echoes
 * Come ride, heroes, ride
 * In deafening silence
 * Away with the tide


 * A wave of hazard
 * Come ride, heroes, ride
 * A-whorling inward
 * Away with the tide


 * Time
 * Stellar stories starward bestrewn, slipping sidewise; see, they're snakes.
 * Twixt the leaves you'll find naught amiss&mdash;missing aughts and crossing fates.
 * Freedom surgent shifting ahead, comets dancing in her wake.
 * To the cosmic clarion's accord, along the path not taken.


 * Try, dare the dead tread ahead on a road that was borrowed design. (Design)
 * Through the sum of their suns do they seek tomorrow. (Tomorrow)
 * Tonight, witness then as the end shall begin what was final.
 * Their lies, folding back, further back, ever back to the primal.
