Chapter I Lyrics

On this path of straight and narrow

Everyday a constant struggle

With who I was and who I want to be

All I wanted was inner peace

Letting go of what once bled me dry

Rekindling the fire that's inside

I fell in love again

Fell in love with the thought of being alive

You thought that I was dead and gone

Kept trying to hold me down

Lay me down into the soil

Where I sprout anew

Into the giving tree

Full circle, reap the seeds of

Sentient beings

Seek truth in sovereignty

When it's our time

The powers that be will set us free

Free into the evergreen

So take my hand, and be at ease

We'll rest our heads beyond the trees

Distant thunder rumbling

Immersed in whips of lightning

Rain crashing off the leaves

The wind gently calls to me

Shaping new prophecies

Manifesting our wildest dreams

Rewriting reality

Distance the mind from the wandering fields

Envision life from what the ashes reveal

Rise up, he said, for you are not alone

Collect your thoughts

You are more than your faults

With this labor of love

I found the strength to carry on

And in that moment

I knew what must be done

Take my hand and be at ease

We'll rest our heads beyond the trees

Lay me down into the soil

Where I sprout anew

Into the giving tree

Full circle, reap the seeds of

Sentient beings

Seek truth in sovereignty

Lay me down

Lay me down

I'll sprout anew

At last I can see

Pushing till there's no breath left for doubt

The vision so clear

As to where my heart belongs

Guess I'm not dead and gone

You won't hold me down
