World Be Gone

Before we ever seize the day

The calming of the season's end

Life becomes a hidden play

Imparted with a furtive glance

Was it everything you'd dreamed it'd be

Or illusions shattered into glass

World be gone

Or are you filled with loving

The way that you promised us

Long ago

And will it tie us to the mast of our souls

As in ancient lore

And as I saw you standing there

Holding your head in your hands

Though it hurts to say goodbye

Silver linings in the leaden sky

One day we'll return again

And surely we will make amends

Consequences never seen

Broken shadows on an empty screen

World be gone

Or are you filled with loving

The way that you promised us

Long ago

And will it tie us to the mast of our souls

As in ancient lore

And as I saw you standing there

Holding your head in your hands

World be gone

Or are you filled with loving

The way that you promised us

Long ago

And will it tie us to the mast of our souls

As in ancient lore

And as I saw you standing there

Holding your head in your hands
