Blood boils under azure skies 

A man astray, obsessed in his search 

Exploring vast lands 

Deserts of sand and stone 

Now heading for the open sea 

Where his dreams are at 

And his mind is set free 



The scornful sun burns, tears his skin 

The salt breeze tears his open eyes 

And the whirling sand will dry his throat 

But the journey must go on 

He found his call, he is now a slave 

On the mission to find his soul 

And eternity seems ever so deep 

And with every wish 

The distance seems to grow 



And then at least 

Somewhere by the horizon line 

The ocean lies mighty, calm and wide 

And just when all his strength was gone 

And all his hope was lost 

His will was strong 

And all that remained but his torn limbs 

Covered by dust 



Reaching for the distant shore 

He raises to his feet but falls 

When his feet are sore 

A painful effort like a grain of sand 

Malicious god gives him hand 

A hand that beats him to the ground 

And the cry for help echoes 

Without a sound 

Out of reach are all the visions 

About his mind set free 

The sun laughs as he kneels 

Before his destiny 



When ages of burning energy 

Flows through a peerless body 

And you experience strength 

Far beyond what you would never know 

Is when you realize that what counts 

In the end is the journey itself 

So with a smile let your struggle in pain 

Be crowned by death 



An eternity in the moment 

Is when silence screams with emptiness 

And when I felt relief 

Was when the tide washed away 

The blood of my broken limbs
