Riddles of Exile Lyrics

Dead air

Not a word

Step so softly

She'll be heard

I'll creep into your head with tones to wake you

The stream swells to a flood to reshape you

I feel the call echo in my bones

I fear the thought of sinking alone

Riddles unravel and reform before my eyes

Little notes sneak in, spinning truth into the lie

A moment left as myself

A moment 'til I'm a shell

Don't let me sink alone

I'm still me

I'm not meant to fall for the throne

Unmake me please

The dye of shades that color the canvas

The life bringing stroke

A land in harmony

What memory resides in us all?

The home that beckons us from afar

A blue vale

What silently sleeps beyond the great blue?

One to guide the aimless back to the source

Exile

And the last?

I do not know it

I see the sky of times gone by

A long off call from afar

From plains of gold to burning cold

I stand between you and your home

I will wait to hear the words that answer the far off call

I'm born anew

Don't recognize you

I only know she who speaks the verse

I bend the knee to every word

And all the while, that crooked smile still speaking down to me

Rip at the seam, a hidden scream

I sink into the deep

With you, with her, with words

Riddles unravel and reform before my eyes

Little notes sneak in, spinning truth into the lie
