The Greatest Escape / White Shores Lyrics

Lying in wait for night's final hours. Sold my body to naught

A race of pictures dancing in my eyes. Look through the mirror - the reflection lies. No longer shackled to the rocks and lead. Through countless lifetimes and the paths I've tread

In the darkest corners. Of the darkest tombs. I will be surrounded like a mother's womb. Journeying in darkness. Into mystery. To life I'm forgotten. From this life I'm free

Lying in wait for night's final hours. Sold my body to naught

Awakening moment. Awaken: dead. Life pulls the trigger aimed at my head. One of his children but I want not to feed. Feed not his wisdom. Ignored by greed

In the darkest corners. Of the darkest tombs. I will be surrounded like a mother's womb. Journeying in darkness. Into mystery. To life I'm forgotten. From this life I'm free

Cannot play this fool's game anymore. Across eternity I've been waiting for...

Oh when you cross the threshold will you be rejoiced? Or is this planet your only choice. Waiting in enslavement. In your misery. Cannot face perfection. The stagnancy you need

Cannot play this fool's game anymore. Across eternity I've been waiting for... Oh lord, take me home...
