lyrics

Now I’m Off

All that I want is to be that I am
The sea and sand are laid
Live in the morning dew,
Melt in the tide,
Where heart and mind are made

The pleasant dream is still a dream of its kind
It looks behind to save
And all the struggle between man and his mind
Are of the same embrace

What it costs in the game of this
Gain and loss,
And striving
Now I’m off to the end of this
Self so strong…
But dying

When all reaching is gone
Night turns into dawn
I could awake now
To the muse of this song

Who is left but the soul?
The dry desert wind in me blows
I must make this journey –
To finally come home

What it costs in the game of this
Gain and loss,
And striving
Now I’m off to the end of this
Self so strong…
But dying
