lyrics

II.This Life of Ours

The world is painted on the sky
in strokes of moonlight and dawn.
It shimmers and shifts as we walk by
like a memory that's almost gone.
As we look into its moonlit folds
and finally see where we are,
we can see tales already told
or we can see this life of ours.

The walls between the worlds grow thin,
revealing rooms of stone.
Ancient spirits dwell within;
the weak, the strong, the unknown.
I see a door with a rusted hinge
standing dark and ajar;
the door swings open, do we dare look in?
in this life of ours...

Well, I've been weak and I've been tough
I've been a little ground down by the years.
I've learned that we none of us live long enough
to confront all of our fears.
Some people fear loneliness, some fear heights,
some fear the light of the stars.
Be it wrong or be it right,
I have had this life of ours.
