Lyrics
The Great Beyond
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.
And as Abby calmly
Takes in her strange new surroundings
She notices a hazy shape making its way towards her
As it approaches
It grows clearer until —
She is able to discern the figure of a man
A flash of hope pierces the calm
She felt only a moment ago
Could it be Daniel?
Dear God – she thought – let it be Daniel!
Is there someone there?
Have you come for me?
Is it my time? Wait —
What do I see
I can feel you here
Can this be true
Dare I trust my eyes
Is it really you!
Trust your eyes
Believe your heart
No more lies
A brand new start
Eternity
Just you and me
The Great Beyond
Two worlds now one
No more shame
No more blame
Erased from time
Released from life
Beyond these gates
Our future waits
The Great Beyond
Two worlds now one
Infinity
Eternity
Forever free
Just you and me
A new life’s begun
A timeless bond (oh oh)
The Great Beyond
Two worlds now one
The Great Beyond
(No no)
(Noh)
Two worlds now one
The Great Beyond
(Wo oh oh wo-o-oh)
Fatum – luminosum – decus
Astrum – in aeternum – venus
