From This Vantage

The Ascent of Everest From This Vantage Lyrics
1.Trapped Behind Silence


2.Return To Us

Words don't seem to speak
Speech can't seem to reach where you are now
You are lost to us
Back and forth
I see you now
How you're lost underneath
You go on back and forth
Out of touch and out of reach
Return my sight to me to recognize it's you
The once and future queen
You have returned to us over and over
You can not see just where you are going
Open your eyes


3.Dark, Dark My Light

Long before the eye can see
There's a path that runs into the deep long
Long before your lips move to speak
There's a look you give when you look at me
Follow the daughter
She's a widow to desire
You cannot sleep your way out of this one
You cannot dream your way out of here

You know
You know
You already know

Long before the sparrow falls
There's a wind that knows and lifts them all
Long before your lips move to speak
There's a look you give when you look at me
Long before your lips move to speak there's a sign
A light that moves behind your eyes
Long before your lips move to speak

Who can see the signs and tell the future's course
The rise and fall
Who can see the signs and try to hold up the mountain or hold
back the tide


4.Safely Caged In Bone

When will the longing be over
When will these strangers just feel like home
When will the aching glow sweetly
When will my heart be safe caged in bone
When will I love again
No more torture
You are torturing me in here
You'll never find me
No on will ever find me


5.Sword And Shield

We live as strangers among our own
We live as strangers

Lay it down
Lay it down
Lay it down
Your sword and your shield


6.Every Fear

There's no cause
There are no lines to divide us from ourselves
Only you can evade the tyrant's spell
Your every fear a prison cell
Our land taken from our hands
Our blood spilled in foreign lands
Pull your thoughts from just yourself
Don't let this go
Don't let go
Our land taken
Our blood spilled out
Pull your thoughts from yourself
End the season of silence


7.In And Through


8.From This Vantage

Secrets in the message
They're hard to follow
Words without you
They're wasted on their own
Seeds in the meadow
They've gone rotten
We'll plant tomorrow
They rest there and wait for you

You're all but forgotten
But how you've blossomed
Looking back from this vantage
How could have I been so blind
