Lyrics
Farside Of The World
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.
A black shadow is crawling like a deadly spider
We're all waiting in silence for the lonely rider
For he will lead the way
For he will save the town
We have to leave today
Before the moon is down
I'm haunted by dreams of a holy mission
I follow the signs of my magic vision
We have to dig a hole
And he will be our eyes
We have to reach a goal
Before the sun will rise
Journey to the farside of the world
No one will catch me when I fall
Follow the trail of fire
No one will hear me when I call
Journey to the farside of the world
A distant place a future time
We'll climb the tallest spire
I will raise the cross and the bells will chime
We'll pass over the river to the silver tower
Run before the clock strikes the final hour
He saw it in a dream
He knew he had to die
We never heard him scream
We never heard him cry
Journey to the farside of the world
Make them believe the dream is true
Follow the trail of fire
The moon came down my time is through
Journey to the farside of the world
This is the way
It was meant to be
We'll climb the tallest spire
The shadow is gone the town is free
