Soulmaker (That Fire) Lyrics

Soul-maker

You hear your echo in the echo

You see your shadow in the dark

An empty vessel from the get-go

The arrow somehow sped its mark

Dark your light and dark desire

The dare that wakes you in the dawn

Barely begun the day's on fire

Barely grasped and then it's gone

Your mind still a city in the night

The black universe past the rim of light

A sense of need, a student's dread

The hunt the drive the breaking through

Flash-flood of dazzle hurts your head

The rise and fall and then the truth

The wheel, the call, the scope of it all

The breadth the loss the mute free-fall

The atom the cosmos the ocean the tear

The reckless glow around the fear

The black universe past the rim of light

You chose your sorrow over despair

You have merged like a bird with the bright air
