D 
Across the vein of night 
             C 
There cuts a path of searing light 
G 
Burning like a beacon 
       D            A 
On the edges of our sight 
D 
At the point of total darkness 
        C 
And the lights divine divide 
  G 
A soul can let its shadow stretch 
    D              A             D 
And land on either side ? either side. 

And balanced on the precipice 

The moment must reveal 

Naked in the face of time 

Our race within the wheel 

As we hang beneath the heavens 

And we hover over hell 

Our hearts become the instruments 

We learn to play so well. 


D                       G             A 
Wealthy the spirit that knows its own flight 
D                       G             A 
Stealthy the hunter who slays his own fright 
D                        G            A             D 
Blessed the traveler who journeys the length of the light. 

Outside the pull of gravity 
Beyond the spectral veil 
Within our careful reasoning 
We search to no avail 
For the constant in the chaos 
For the fulcrum in the void 
Following a destiny 
Our steps cannot avoid. 

Across the vein of night 
There cuts a path of searing light 
Burning like a beacon 
On the edges of our sight 
At the point of total darkness 
And the lights divine divide 
A soul can let its shadow 
Stretch and land on either side. 

Wealthy the spirit that knows its own flight 
Stealthy the hunter who slays his own fright 
Blessed the traveler who journeys the length of the light. 

In a spiral never-ending 
Are we drawn towards the source 
Spinning at the mercy of an 
   unrelenting force 
So we stare into the emptiness 
   and fall beneath the weight 
Circling the Nexus in a 
   fevered dance with fate -- 

Wealthy the spirit that knows its own flight 
Stealthy the hunter who slays his own fright 
Blessed the traveler who journeys the length of the light.
