2. The Great Divide (4:08)
Sleepless I have wondered
If my brokenness was you
Questioning the hunger
When this madness was all I knew
You would never hold me
When my veins keep bleeding through
But no one could ever want you like I do
As the sun sets
In the glowing west
I declare my manifest
Beyond the great divide
Where the darkness meets the light
Like an everlasting storm
You will be my paramour
'Cause beyond the great divide
Where the days and dreams collide
From the Ashendust reborn
We will rise again forevermore
Tortured I have crumbled
In the prison of my own mind
Like a martyr I have stumbled
Through the chaos you leave behind
Eager like a hunter
I have suffered from our lie
No one will ever need you more than I
As the sun sets
In the glowing west
I declare my manifest
Beyond the great divide
Where the darkness meets the light
Like an everlasting storm
You will be my paramour
'Cause beyond the great divide
Where the days and dreams collide
From the Ashendust reborn
We will rise again forevermore
Ghostlike shadows
Howling in my head
My dear
Fearful voices
I am not alone
When you are here
Come break my bones
And leave me dying
Sticks and stones
Won't have me crying
Even if I fall
I will keep trying
You will see my wings unfold
Somewhere far beyond the great divide
Where the darkness meets the light
Like an everlasting storm
You will be my paramour
'Cause beyond the great divide
Where the days and dreams collide
From the Ashendust reborn
We will rise again forevermore
If my brokenness was you
Questioning the hunger
When this madness was all I knew
You would never hold me
When my veins keep bleeding through
But no one could ever want you like I do
As the sun sets
In the glowing west
I declare my manifest
Beyond the great divide
Where the darkness meets the light
Like an everlasting storm
You will be my paramour
'Cause beyond the great divide
Where the days and dreams collide
From the Ashendust reborn
We will rise again forevermore
Tortured I have crumbled
In the prison of my own mind
Like a martyr I have stumbled
Through the chaos you leave behind
Eager like a hunter
I have suffered from our lie
No one will ever need you more than I
As the sun sets
In the glowing west
I declare my manifest
Beyond the great divide
Where the darkness meets the light
Like an everlasting storm
You will be my paramour
'Cause beyond the great divide
Where the days and dreams collide
From the Ashendust reborn
We will rise again forevermore
Ghostlike shadows
Howling in my head
My dear
Fearful voices
I am not alone
When you are here
Come break my bones
And leave me dying
Sticks and stones
Won't have me crying
Even if I fall
I will keep trying
You will see my wings unfold
Somewhere far beyond the great divide
Where the darkness meets the light
Like an everlasting storm
You will be my paramour
'Cause beyond the great divide
Where the days and dreams collide
From the Ashendust reborn
We will rise again forevermore
