Fogelberg Dan Nexus Lyrics

Nexus Lyrics

(Disk 1 of 2)
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 --
   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.
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.
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.
