In the desert of my mind I stumble
The waves of fire in the distance

Lure me and provoke every corner of me

Making my thoughts grow wild and lose

They enticed me to seek them
They made me run untill time stood still

Not afraid not in a haste I ran



I feel my face hasn't changed
The years have faded in my memory
I remember nothing but the run and the stillness

No sound to comfort me
No wind to cool me
No cloud to shade me
Only sun and moon forever

I run to the flames far away
Feeling the burn in my legs
My heart telling me I won't make it

But the dream and the rush
Prevent me from giving in
For to you my fire I must run

I have ran to you for as long as I can remember
And in my final moments
My heart was right I couldn't make it

But at last I run no more
And feel no more
No kind moon and no harsh sun
For the first time in a thousand years I sleep

And the fire consumes my dreams as I have always wished

I hear the cold wind ahead
The ringing noise that soars past
The whisper of pain in my ears and bones

I try to lean on you again
But you are never there
Through the tears of memories past I see you
But you are only a ghost of my mind
The memory I've been chasing for years

I see the night and the dark
And I feel hope evade
It flows into the ground and the earth
Making me week and dizzy

But you are never out of reach
For you live in my heart

The sun will soon rise for me
And though I am blind and grey
You will be there for me
And I will forever see you and chase you

For home is only in your arms
And rest will come when I catch you
