Lyrics
Ephemeral
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.
Long after day retired
We saw st. Elmo's fire
It soothed our sleeping souls
And took the cold away
A window to a world
Within the waters swirled
It called for us to come
And led us from the troubles of this place
We found a new enlightened race
An ethos we could all embrace
A perfect beauty in a fragile well
A fleeting universe, ephemeral
Our stay too short but now we have to tell
Returning here like being damned to hell
A perfect beauty in a fragile well
A fleeting universe, ephemeral
Our stay too short but now we have to tell
Returning here like being damned to hell
A perfect beauty in a fragile well
A fleeting universe, ephemeral
Could no longer stay here now the pond we see
Below its surface set us free
