The Flame in the Flood

In the backwaters beyond fables and years
 Is freedom in moving on
 There's a silence that may be heard loud and clear
 In the simple, wild and natural cadence
 Keep my eyes opened
 Keep my ears sharpened
 There's nothing to fear
 But fear itself in
 Oh desperation, chasing horizons
 In the flame and the flood
 Through the briers and the brambles in my tears
 There's no failure in true survival
 Or the trials and tales of old that cut me near
 Will help keep my head above the water
 Keep my eyes opened
 Keep my ears sharpened
 There's nothing to fear
 But fear itself in
 Oh desperation, chasing horizons
 In the flame and the flood
 Keep my eyes opened
 Keep my ears sharpened
 There's nothing to fear
 But fear itself in
 Oh desperation, chasing horizons
 In the flame and the flood
 In the flame and the flood
