Doomed, Free

Flying over the fields and shifting seas
We are doomed but we are free
Free to make our perilous ways
And it’s stranger than I can believe
What greater gift could one receive
Than time, a pen and an open page
Oh but I know
Yeah I know
There’s an awful hollow void beyond the bay
Oh but the unknown
Yeah the unknown
Is the only course I’m not ashamed to sail
So let’s sail
And one day I will only be a stone
Marking where they lay my bones
Just a sentence and a name to try and explan
What can never be described
We’ve all lived a million lives
The finer points they’re much the same
Oh but I know
Yeah I know
There’s a final sigh then blackness 'round the bend
Oh so I won’t
No no I won’t
Look away until I know it as a friend
As a friend…
Oh the vultures start to gather over here
Oh so face the dawn
Sing mine
Sing on…
