At The Rubicon
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Tonight the die is cast
This step could be my last
The city is burning
And there is no turning back
A new wind breaths, it beckons me to cross this stream
Bids me come and seek my fate
My heart is leaping, it’s running, it’s yearning, it’s burning
But my reason bids me wait
While you’re here, you are safe, it tells me
Turn back now while there’s still a chance
You are a king, this is your fortune
But over there you’re just a man
So why don't you lay down your guns, futile mind
'Cause this is the time to leave all else behind
'Cause tonight the die is cast and I have no other choice
This step could be my last and I can’t ignore that voice
I’ve counted up the cost, everything I have is lost
And all I’ve left to do is cross
This is the place we call the crossroad
A river marks the great divide
Separating kings from kingdoms
Sons from fathers, men from wives
A gentle stream the only barrier
Between the dream and what is real
I’ll leave this cave of empty shadows
Step into the light of forms revealed
Lay down your guns, futile mind
Your fear has made you blind
And this is the price that freedom requires
To leave all else behind
'Cause tonight the die is cast and I have no other choice
This step could be my last and I can’t ignore that voice
I’ve counted up the cost, everything I have is lost
(Standing right here) And all I’ve left to do is
Step across the line
Cut the tie that binds
Listen to my heart
And not my mind
Let the kingdom fall
Castles, thrones, and all
Life is on the other side
Step across the line
And cut the tie that binds
Listen to my heart
And not my mind
Let the kingdom fall
Castles, thrones and all
'Cause life is on the other side
Tonight the die is cast
This step could be my last
The city is burning
And there is no turning back
Tonight the die is cast
This step could be my last
The city is burning
And there is no turning back
I’ve counted up the cost
All I have left is lost
A new life is waiting
And salvation is here and it’s mine for the taking
