I couldn’t have dreamt to be here
The sight is subalpine and clear
The mountains, the sky, the sunlight
It couldn’t have happened before
I’m eager to breathe so much more
And I never saw you happy
Until now, I thought I’m alive
I didn’t know, until now, that a part of me
Has been stranded alone in the shadows
Reaching for the sky
Never felt so easy
Deep blue close and high
Makes me wild and dizzy
Post-hell you and I
On a front porch to heaven
Where winds and eagles fly
A valley of hopes at our feet
Dark forests with wild beasts to meet
Long rivers, and lakes, and meadows
You wonder how long will it take
And I know how much is at stake
Which one of us has to blaze it?
Down the slopes, into the divine
Soaring free for a while till we find our ground
In the wheat fields, golden and sunlit
Reaching for the sky
Never felt so easy
Deep blue close and high
Makes me wild and dizzy
Post-hell you and I
On a front porch to heaven
Where winds and eagles fly
I was crawling, and running away from the darkness
I bore the brunt of the pain
And betrayal and fighting, so much I know
I’m enamored with violence and being heartless
And blissfully numb to maintain
Every muscle and unbroken bone
For us to survive
Into the deep blue abyss
Off the slopes of our hopes
Are you willing to fly with me?
Would you take such a leap of faith
In a free fall to find our fate
Are you ready to soar with me?
I can’t force you to follow my lead ‘cause I love you
You’re the sacred potential
You’re Sammu-Ramat of a future that’s all-new
I can only, I can only promise to shoulder
The sweat and the tears, and the blood
It will take to deliver your shining light
Far beyond what meets the eye
Far beyond what meets the eye
Far beyond what meets the eye we fly
We fly
We fly
Don’t look down!
But I know there are sharp rocks below
Biting through ice and sleet and through the virgin snow
Don’t look down!
But I know there are tall mighty pines
That shoot up like spears and can claim our lives
Don’t look down!
It’s hard to fly and breathe
A hundred bears are waiting to devour us underneath
Don’t look down!
Snow leopards chase our shadow down below
And the raven told the wolves we’re coming all alone
Don’t look down!
The mighty tiger caught our scent
He patiently waits and lurks as we descend
Don’t look down!
I can’t go back, I cannot turn around
They’ll rip us both to shreds once we’ve landed on the ground
Fear not the beasts that roam this land
They’re not a threat, nor they an enemy
You have to try to understand
They can be friends who will set us free
The real monsters that remain unseen
Will fight us til the bitter end
You’ll have to kill, prepare to win
It’s high time to transcend
Here I go
Neglect and pain
Come hand in hand
Waiting in vain
Beware! My angry wolves are ripping your face to strands
Behind the mask
An ugly grin of fear
The pleaser’s lust
Comes through the wounds clawed by leopard and bear
Anguish and shame
Worthless and scared little child
Put down and drained
Behold the tigers pouring in to fight on my side
Tentacles, guilt
For having needs
Knocked me off my feet
But my ravens tear you down and kill your poisonous seeds
My sun, my light, what a delight
Sammuramat, we have survived!
My girl, my girl, oh what a fight!
My girl, my girl, are you alive?
Are you alive?
I fall in love again
Weeping to the skies
Never felt so bitter
Deep blue close and high
Looking in the mirror
Post-hell you and I
On a front porch to heaven
Where winds and eagles fly
Take me to the skies
Take my shell, my vessel
I know I should die
But you have to wrestle
Gazing through my eyes
We are down in a valley
To meet our first sunrise
Bears step gently in the shade again
And the tigers let us into their domain
Snow leopards came to guard the rear
And the wolves lead the way, they’re somewhere near
Wise ravens carry forth our memories
Owls gaze through veils of time at our enemies
Tall pines and oaks tower, rivers flow
High mountain eagles are in the know
We’re one again!
We’re one again!
My sun, my light, what a delight
Sammuramat, we have survived!
My girl, my girl, oh what a fight!
My girl, my girl, we are alive!
We’re one again!
My sun, my light, what a delight
We’re one again!
Sammuramat, we have survived!
We’re one again!
My girl, my girl, oh what a fight!
We’re one again!
My girl, my girl, we are alive!
We’re one again!
Reaching for the sky
