Note from the artist: This is a song about overcoming self-doubt and inaction to enact change in the world.
lyrics
“Let him that would move the world, first move himself” -Socrates
In the dark of the shadow in my head
I feel the haunting of the nameless dread
Ravenous beast, with a viper’s poison
“I am your silent doubt,” the demon said
“I want to see you drown” // NO!
Over the fields of fire
I’ll bring the rain
Shout with the metal choir
I will feel no pain
Over the mountains I am rising higher
I’ve almost forgotten your name
Now I hear no evil from within,
Time to begin
Formless serpent sent to steal
All ambition, biting at my heel
It wants to choke and bleed the future dry,
To kill the engine and to lock the wheels,
To stop the drive!
I will not back down
I will not give in
Over the fields of fire
I’ll bring the rain
Shout with the metal choir
I will feel no pain
Over the mountains I am rising higher
I’ve almost forgotten your name
Now I hear no evil from within,
Time to begin
Time to reconcile
What I know and what I need to be
The distance between ourselves and our goals
Is only as long as we allow it to be
We are the bridge across the divide
We are the wind howling from either side
To bridge the gap is to overcome our self
