[Verse 1]

The open air

Atop this mountain

Welcomes my hungered voice

Yet in the echoes of my indulgence

I hear a calling from below


[Chorus]

Silent cries

To my solitude profound

In too deep

There is no return

For the soul unbound

In too deep


[Verse 2]

I draw circles

Sacred boundaries

Around my desolate temple

Blood is spilt

And thorns grow

On the path to liberty


[Chorus]

Silent cries

To my solitude profound

In too deep

There is no return

For the soul unbound

In too deep


[Bridge]

Eternally

In pain and rapture

I was summoned

And I was forced

Yet I willed it so


[Chorus]

Silent cries

To my solitude profound

In too deep

There is no return

For the soul unbound

In too deep
