The Fountain Of Lamneth: I. In The Valley; II. Didacts and Narpets; III. No One At The Bridge; IV. Panacea; V. Bacchus Plateau;

I am born|I am me|I am new|I am free|Look at me|I am young|Sight unseen|Life unsung||My eyes have just been opened|And they're open very wide|Images around me|Don't identify inside|Just one blur I recognize|The one that soothes and feeds|My way of life is easy|And as simple are my needs||Yet my eyes are drawn toward|The mountain in the east|Fascinates and captivates|Gives my heart no peace|The mountain holds the sunrise|In the prison of the night|'Til bursting forth from rocky chains|The valley floods with light||Living one long sunrise|For to me all things are new|I've never watched the sky grow pale|Or strolled through fields of dew|I do not know of dust to dust|I live from breath to breath|I live to climb that mountain|To the Fountain of Lamneth||[II. Didacts and Narpets]||Stay! Go!|Work! No!|Learn! Live!|Earn! Give!|Stay or fight? What's right?|Listen!||[III. No One At the Bridge]||Crying back to consciousness|The coldness grips my skin|The sky is pitching violently|Drawn by shrieking winds|Seaspray blurs my vision|Waves roll by so fast|Save my ship of freedom|I'm lashed helpless to the mast||Remembering when first I held|The wheel in my own hands|I took the helm so eagerly|And sailed for distant lands|But now the sea's too heavy|And I just...I just don't understand|Why must my crew desert me?|When I need...I need a guiding hand...||Call out for direction|And there's no one there to steer|Shout out for salvation|But there's no one there to hear|Cry out supplication|For the maelstrom is near|Scream out desperation|But no one cares to hear||[IV. Panacea]||The whiteness of confusion|Is unfolding from my mind|I stare around in wonder|Have I left my life behind?||I catch the scent of ambergris|And turn my head, surprised|My gaze is caught and held and I|Am helpless...mesmerized||Panacea, liquid grace|Oh let me touch your fragile face|Enchantment falls around me|And I know I cannot leave||Here's a meaning for my life|A shelter from the storm|Pacify my troubles with|Her body, soft and warm||Naked in our unity|A smile for every tear|Gentle hands that promise me|Comfort through the years||Yet I know I must be gone|Before the light of dawn||Panacea, passion pure|I can't resist your gentle lure|My heart will lie beside you|And my wandering body grieves||[V. Bacchus Plateau]||Another endless day|Silhouettes of grey|Another glass of wine|Drink with eyes that shine|To days without that chill at morning|Nights time out of mind||[Chorus:]|Draw another goblet|From the cask of '43|Crimson misty memory|Hazy glimpse of me|Give me back my wonder|I've something more to give|I guess it doesn't matter|There's not much more to live||Another foggy dawn|The mountain almost gone|Another doubtful fear|The road is not so clear|My soul grows ever weary|And the end is ever near||[Chorus]||[VI. The Fountain]||Look! The mist is rising|And the sun is peaking through|See the steps grow lighter|As I reach their final few|Hear the dancing waters|I must be drawing near|Feel, my heart is pounding|With embattled hope and fear||Now, at last I fall before|The Fountain of Lamneth|I thought I would be singing|But I'm tired...out of breath|Many journeys end here|But, the secret's told the same|Life is just a candle and a dream|Must give it flame||The key, the end, the answer|Stripped of their disguise|Still it's all confusion|And tears spring to my eyes|Though I've reached a signpost|It's really not the end|Like Old Sol behind the mountain|I'll be coming up again||I'm in motion|I am still|I am crying|I am...still|I'm together|I'm apart|I'm forever|At the start||Still...I am|
