Unknown and unbroken
We are born, born of fire and steel
You rise and fall between these sounds
And I rise and fall between the pages
Written in your hands.
When the lines have all been spoken
I will lay me down at ease
Bordering a silent river
Seeking out a sweet release.
I'm needing to set it free
Cast away the laws we lay down
And set it free,
The world is opening
Before my eyes now.
Far beyond the realm of princes
Far beyond the realm of thieves
Kings and slaves walk hand in hand
But you and I we take our leave.
I'm needing to set it free
Cast away the laws we lay down
And set it free,
The world is opening
Before my eyes now.
Born of earth
Born of fire and steel
You rise and fall between these sounds
And I rise and fall between the pages
Written in your hands.
